Contribution
The proposed paper describes the results of two similar research surveys conducted in Indian and Russian rural schools. The aim of this comparative paper is to discuss the role of structural conditions in producing the relations between such factors as gender, academic success, socio-economic status of families, different school characteristics and educational and professional expectations of children. In particular, we aim at studying the factors influencing the decision of rural children/parents to continue education in urban educational institutions.
Educational expectations are concrete plans or beliefs of children about what they actually expect to happen in their educational career (Cook et al. 1996). This concept has been one of the most popular topics within social research on education, social inequality and mobility for the past four decades. From early Wisconsin model (Sewell and Shah, 1968; Sewell, Haller, Portes, 1969; Sewell and Hauser, 1975) to recent research on value-rational models of educational choice (Stocke, 2007) aspirations and expectations are considered a powerful factor mediating between family socio-economic status and educational achievements and trajectories.
Another important theoretical concepts which we apply in our research are “frames” ((Esser, 2005; Kroneberg, 2007; Stocké V., 2007) and “horizons for action” (Hodkinson and Sparkes 1997; Hodkinson 1998). Both concepts as we see them, with all the difference between respective theoretical approaches behind the concepts, share the idea that people make rational educational and career decisions within certain perceived spectra of available and socially approved opportunities.
