Sự thích ứng của các gia đình người Việt ở nông thôn Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long trong giáo dục con cái dưới bối cảnh xã hội hiện đại

Abstract

Nowadays, under the influence of industrialization, the rural areas of Mekong Delta are undergoing significant transformations. Many rural families in the Mekong Delta have adopted various adaptive strategies to educate their children. This study aims to explore how these families adapt their child-rearing practices within the new social context. Utilizing qualitative research methods, including in-depth interviews and field observations, a total of 24 in-depth interviews were conducted between 2021 and 2022. Scott's rational choice theory and Bourdieu's theory of capital were employed to analyze the collected data, thereby explaining the perceptions and adaptive strategies in education of households. The study reveals that the rural Mekong Delta is experiencing changes in population structure, occupational patterns, and value systems. Consequently, families have adjusted their educational approaches by selecting specific educational goals, investing in education, and balancing relationships within the educational process.
