Beschreibung
This book revolves around the rationale, urgency, and application of quantifying Bourdieu in educational research. It begins with a succinct revisit to Bourdieus methodological pluralism and quantitative program, and a critical review of existing but limited Bourdieusian quantitative educational studies, establishing the theoretical, methodological, and contextual foundations for empirical applications of quantitative methodology in Bourdieusian educational research. The book then presents three examples of such empirical applications as individual chapters, utilising multiple correspondence analysis and social network analysis. These chapters respectively examine social class and educational mobility, teacher resilience and teacher education, and social grouping and social change. The book concludes with a proposal to mobilise a range of 'relational' quantitative methodologies - including factor analysis, cluster analysis, logistic regression, multilevel modelling, and cross-lagged panel model - within a Bourdieusian remit, and extends a reflexive invitation to quantify Bourdieu in educational research.
