Abstract
Drawing on nine focus groups with secondary students in southern Ontario, we investigated secondary students’ perceptions of, and experiences with, school codes of conduct and their application. While generally supporting the ‘big’ rules such as no weapons, students engaged more critically with minor ones. We drew on Foucault’s governmentality studies to discuss students’ successful compliance. We evaluated students’ contestation of the rules, rule ‐ breaking as potential resistance, and rule breaking as a manifestation of students’ desire. Although students challenge school rules, they are “already caught” within the dominant language that frames the rules and their top ‐ down application, with little sense of themselves as potent political actors. Key words : discipline, citizenship, resistance, secondary education D’apres neuf groupes de disccusion d’etudiants au niveau secondaire du sud de l’Ontario, nous avons enquete leurs points de vue et leurs experiences au sujet des reglements de leurs ecoles et leurs methodes d’application. Generalement, les etudiants sont en faveur des ‘grands’ reglements, tel que armes interdites, mais ils sont plus critiques envers les moins importants. D’apres les etudes de gouvernementalite de Foucault, nous discutons comment les etudiants reussissent a se conformer. Nous avons evalue la contestation des reglements par les etudiants, l’evasion des reglements comme resistance potentielle, et l’evasion des reglements comme manifestation des desirs des etudiants. Meme si les etudiants resistent les reglements, ils sont “deja pris” a l’interieur d’un language dominant qui encadre les reglements et leur application par les haut ‐ places. Ainsi, ils ont l’impression d’etre impuissants comme acteurs politiques. Mots cles: discipline, citoyennete, resistance, education secondaire
在安大略省南部的9个中学生焦点小组中,我们调查了中学生对学校行为准则及其应用的看法和经验。虽然学生们普遍支持诸如禁止携带武器之类的“大”规则,但他们对小规则的态度更加挑剔。我们利用福柯的治理学研究来讨论学生的成功顺从。我们评估了学生对规则的争论,违反规则作为潜在的抵抗,以及违反规则作为学生愿望的表现。尽管学生们挑战校规,但他们“已经被困”在规则框架及其自上而下应用的主导语言中,几乎没有意识到自己是强有力的政治参与者。关键词:纪律,公民意识,抵抗,中等教育,安大略高等中学学生讨论小组,高等学校学生讨论小组,高等学校学生讨论小组,高等学校学生讨论小组,高等学校学生讨论小组,高等学校学生讨论小组,高等学校学生讨论小组,高等学校学生讨论小组,高等学校学生讨论小组,高等学校学生讨论小组概括地说,学生们被称为“最受欢迎的人”,他们被称为“最重要的人”,他们被称为“最重要的人”。D 'apres les etudes de government alite de Foucault, nous disdisques评论的学生拒绝一个真正的从规者。“规则与学生之间的争论”是“规则与学生之间的争论”,“逃避规则与抗拒潜能”是“逃避规则与欲望与学生之间的表现”。Meme让学生们抗拒那些条条条条,让学生们“deja pris”,让学生们“面试”,让他们在语言上占主导地位,让学生们“条条条条”,让学生们在其他地方“应用”。印度人不会对政治人物有任何印象。格言:纪律、城市、抵抗、教育
