摘要:
In the process of marketization of kindergartens, the phenomenon of elementary school in rural early childhood education still exists. This study uses the qualitative research method to deeply describe the current phenomenon of elementary school in rural kindergartens, explore its social structure motivation, and then analyze the survival path dependence of rural kindergartens. The study found that rural kindergartens have social realities such as losing educational goals, paying attention to parents’ education requirements, and seeking parents’ satisfaction through teaching activities. It also found that the social structure motivation of the phenomenon of elementary school in rural kindergartens and the survival strategy of kindergartens showed dynamic changes and cross-field characteristics, and based on this, the internal mechanism of the phenomenon of elementary school in rural kindergartens was constructed.
