Educational Contradiction of Explicit Logic of Education Field (A Case Study: Iran Education Field)

The present study seeks to explain the features of the explicit-written rules of the field of education. Which laws are more powerful in the field of education? Do these rules coincide with the educational goals? In order to answer these questions, the conceptual framework of the research was based on Bourdieu's ideas. The documentary analysis was employed as the method for collecting and analyzing the data. The corpus consisted of the official documents and regulations of the field of education. The sample for this study was selected through purposive sampling. The collected data were analyzed through Maxqda software and open coding techniques. The results of the study indicate that the rules of the field of education are: acceptance-graduation rules, relative non-repudiation laws, poor discipline rules, poor logic of embodied-objectified cultural capital, general logic, habitus-based logic and the powerful logic of institutional cultural capital ". In addition, the results show that these laws have different powers, so that the powerful logic of institutional cultural capital and acceptance-graduation rules are more powerful than the other laws in the field. In terms of the nature and characteristics of the rules of the field of education, the results reveal that these rules have counter-educational nature and are not consistent with the goals of the education field.
