后结构主义思想在教育研究中的运用受到一种紧张关系的限制，一方面，被认为是其解放和赋权的潜力，另一方面，不愿从实际问题上分心，因此，担心通过理论发言而疏远实践者。这有时会导致教育研究与它所借鉴并提出重大主张的此类思想之间存在着肤浅的关系。正统观念存在于那些将自己定位为与正统研究实践相反的教育研究领域中，并且这些领域扼杀了他们所寻求的重新思考思想的潜力。我们以米歇尔·福柯的著作在教育研究中的运用为例。然后，我们展示了所谓的与叙事研究相关的后结构主义思想的采用如何导致一种研究实践形式，而这种形式的研究实践未能充分认识到后结构主义思想试图批评的那些知识结构的基础。如果后结构主义文本要使教育研究人员能够以不同的方式思考，那么他们需要以何种方式参与看似违反直觉的事情，就需要揭示出来。吉尔·德勒兹和费利克斯·瓜塔里的作品被用来展示后结构主义教育研究中的自我转向本身可能会转向不同的目的。
The use of poststructuralist thought in educational research is constrained by a tension between, on the one hand, what is considered to be its emancipatory and empowering potential and, on the other, a reluctance to be distracted from practical concerns and, hence, a fear of alienating the practitioner by speaking in terms of the theoretical. This leads to the sometimes superficial relationship that educational research has to ideas of this kind upon which it draws and of which it makes great claims. Orthodoxies exist within those areas of educational research that position themselves as counter to orthodox research practice, and these stifle the potential of the rethinking of thought that they seek. We take the use of the work of Michel Foucault in educational research as an example of this. We then show how the purported adoption of poststructuralist thought in relation to narrative research can lead to a form of research practice that fails adequately to recognize its basis in those very constructions of knowledge that poststructuralist thought has sought to criticize. If poststructuralist texts are to enable educational researchers to think differently, the ways in which they require an engagement with what may seem counter‐intuitive need to come to light. The work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari is used to show how the turn to the self in poststructuralist‐informed educational research might itself be turned to different ends.
