- Abstract
This study aims to reflect on the power relations of knowledge production in the field of education by focusing on journal articles relevant to the educational issue of “new immigrants’ children.” Based on a Foucauldian perspective, discourse analysis is performed with respect to what is said/done, who is spoken of/who speaks, and how it is said/done. This study exposes how the discourse of deficit thinking is formed, maintained, and becomes orthodox through a regime of truth, while indicating a discursive space for counter-discourse, anti-deficit thinking. This study puts forth three points worth pondering: 1. The phenomenon of “mother-child bonding” appears in the educational research about new immigrants’ children, being completely othered and problematized; 2. Within the field of education, the regime of truth rationalizes the discourse of deficit thinking, forming a pseudoscience wherein ideology is elevated above science; 3. Deconstruction and criticisms within and without the field contributes to the emergence of counter-discourse, raising awareness and breaking through the disciplinary power of the field. This study calls on teacher trainers and educational researchers to be more sensitive to, to continue to reflect upon, and then proceed to transform the power relations of knowledge production in order to avoid reproducing inequalities of class, race, gender, and their intersectionalities.
