Abstract

When using Pierre Bourdieu's concepts,we shouldn't forget the methodological connotations in and behind them.Bourdieu's way of relative thinking is a dual-directional break from social physics and social phenomenology,and it's also an upset of researchers' being participant observers in social anthropology.To educational investigators,Bourdieu's methodology means not a set of procedures that can be used directly,but a profound visual angle and insight,which can bring new explanations and thus a new look in education,education research and the relationship between educational theory and practice.
