- Abstract
Previous researches have emphasized the importance of the application of Pierre Bourdieu’s theories in the field of education. However, research on how Bourdieu’s theories- habitus, have influenced secondary school music education in China has not been discussed. This article analyses how the habitus of “taking the national college entrance exam (NCEE) as the ultimate goal” has affected Chinese music education. It draws upon on Burnard’s (2015). “Bourdieu and the Sociology of Music Education”. London: Routledge. The purpose of this article is to highlight the fact that parents, schools and teachers who focus too much on learning outcomes at the expense of the learning process should not be applied to music education, as students may lose their motivation to learn music in such a result-oriented habitus.
