Abstract

Judging from the existing textbook analysis and research, there is currently less attention to the occupational role in the analysis of primary school Chinese textbooks. This research takes the 12-volume edition of the primary school Chinese textbooks as the object, and uses text analysis to analyze the characters in the textbooks. According to Bourdieu’s theory of cultural class, the occupational roles are counted and divided into the dominant class, the middle class and the ordinary class. The class and gender differences behind the occupational roles are analyzed, and the problems existing in the professional role classes in the teaching materials are found. The corresponding modification suggestions were made.
