在21世纪的第一个十年里，关于教育的地理研究在数量和范围上都迅速增长，从这一增长的文献中出现的一个相对较新的主题是教育和愿望。对志向的新生兴趣很大程度上与获得高质量的学校教育和大学教育有关。相比之下，在本文中，我们强调了研究学校社区内愿望（再）产生方式的重要性。我们的经验重点是新工党领导下的低收入英格兰。在这里，我们采用了双重方法：首先，研究教育专业人士如何定义父母对小学年龄儿童的期望低；然后再考虑他们对适当愿望的不同理解，以及他们在学校和通过为父母和儿童使用扩展服务来促进这些愿望的做法。总之，我们强调了教育的内向和外向地理的重要性，将学校与其社会背景“重新结合”，并讨论了旨在提高愿望的实践中涉及的道德和政治上的模糊性。
Geographical research on education has grown rapidly in both volume and scope during the first decade of the twenty-first century, and one relatively new theme to emerge from this growing literature is that of education and aspiration. Much of the nascent interest in aspiration concerns access to quality schooling and University education. In this paper by contrast we highlight the importance of studying the ways aspirations are (re)produced within the school community. Our empirical focus is on low-income England under New Labour. Here we pursue a two-fold approach: firstly examining how education professionals define parental aspirations for primary-aged children as low; before secondly considering their alternative understandings of appropriate aspirations and the practices through which they seek to promote these, both in school and through the use of Extended Services for parents and children. In conclusion we highlight the importance of inward and outward geographies of education which ‘recouple’ schools with their social context, and discuss the moral and political ambiguities involved in practices designed to raise aspirations.
