本研究属于质性研究的范畴,以永县二职高为个案对象，以访谈和回忆为主,再现了中原一所农村中学的发展历程，重点考察了1985-1994年间两次职改事件给学校带来的致命性影响。探索农村职业中学陷入困境的真正原因,试图通过一些原生态性质的事实，重新去考虑教育改革的政策和措施，特别强调要走进第一现场去发现问题，考察问题。本研究遵循 “从内向外看”与“从下往上看”的视角研究教育问题，选择农村一所职业中学作为个案，关注小地方，重视微观研究，通过对它的职业化过程的描述，以讲故事的方式，试图揭示农村普通高中职业化真实的教育图景，呈现个案地区农民、学校、国家之间以及农民的教育理想和宏观政策之间的关系.本研究主要关注的是被假设的农村职业教育的直接受益者——学生及其家长是如何赋予农村职业教育意义的。本文强调，农村是农村职业学校学生的主要来源，农村职业学校如果得不到农民的认同是没有实际效用的。建国以来国家对于农民的教育，一般都是从国家的理想出发，给农民制定一个美好的教育目标，相信只要农民按照教育目标去受教育，农村就会变为富裕的社会，农民就会成为有知识、懂技术的新农民。目前农民最理想的教育仍然是应试教育，通过应试教育进入城市，进入农民心目中公平的地方，实现农民向上流动的愿望。
