自教育券的概念提出之後,社會上就有一股聲音,主張透過教育券的使用讓教育回歸到市場機制,讓消費者來決定學校之去留,並藉此激發學校的競爭力,用以提升教學品質。此一概念開啟了家長教育選擇權的主張,並同時受到世界各國的重視,但教育選擇權的提出,卻也引發許多支持與反對之聲浪。但本研究並不在探究這些爭議,而是以機構俗民誌研究法,探究在教育選擇權的倡議下,不同場域的家長經歷教育選擇權的經驗。研究結果所得之六大類別,可用以說明家長面對教育選擇,在社會及教育組織下所受之統治關係(RULING)。此六大類別分別是:1.受規範的選擇(Ruled choice);2.難以承受之負擔(Unbearable burden);3.不甚透明的資訊(Lucentless information);4.不可欲的選擇(Impermissible choice);5.被動的改變(Noninitiative transformation);6.普遍不甚贊同之氛圍(General disagreeable ethos)。
