Abstract

In early 2020, the spread of COVID-19 resulted in the wide use of online classes in China. Drawing on Foucault’s disciplinary power and De Certeau’s strategy-tactic dialectic, this paper explores the online learning practice of students in a rural junior middle school at Yu Town in Central China during the pandemic, through interviewing the students, teachers, and parents. The findings show that the teachers and the students engaged in a power game in online education and employed a series of strategies and tactics to realize the control and resistance through the creative use of media technologies. The study reveals the paradox that the rural students’ agency and resistance, enabled by the media technologies, may result in negative consequences for their learning and further broaden the gap between rural and urban students, thus reproducing the system that they are dissatisfied with.

网课纪律:新冠肺炎疫情期间中国农村学生的控制与抵抗
2020年初,新冠肺炎的传播导致在线课程在中国的广泛使用。本文借鉴福柯的纪律权力和德塞尔托的策略策略辩证法,通过采访学生、教师和家长,探讨了疫情期间中国中部于镇一所农村初中学生的在线学习实践。研究结果表明,教师和学生在网络教育中进行了一场权力游戏,并采用了一系列策略和战术,通过创造性地使用媒体技术来实现控制和抵抗。研究揭示了一个悖论,即在媒体技术的推动下,农村学生的能动性和抵抗力可能会对他们的学习产生负面影响,并进一步扩大农村和城市学生之间的差距,从而再现他们不满意的制度。
