Abstract

Student subjectivity is the core of educational reform, helping students stimulate creativity and critical thinking. The reconstruction of students’ subjectivity is an inevitable requirement for educational progress. It helps respect students’ individuality and freedom, adapt to the rapidly changing social demands, and cultivate innovative talents for the future society. This article explores the manifestations, predicaments, and reconstruction paths of students’ subjectivity in the new era from the perspective of educational sociology. Emphasize the significance of students’ subjectivity in stimulating intrinsic motivation, promoting critical thinking and creativity, and point out the restrictions on students’ subjectivity imposed by the discipline existing in institutionalized education. The challenges of students’ subjectivity in terms of self-actualization, social expectation pressure, and cultural identity were analyzed, and corresponding reconstruction strategies were proposed.
