The Role of Cultural Capital in Physical Education: A Study on Strategies for Social Reproduction and Educational Inequality

Using the literature review method and applying Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital, this study explores the role of cultural capital in physical education and how it influences social reproduction and educational inequality. To address the inequality in physical education, the study proposes strategies in two areas: promoting educational equity and cultivating cultural capital. Strategies to promote educational equity include showcasing multiculturalism, strengthening teachers' cultural sensitivity training, encouraging student participation in the design and organization of physical activities, and enhancing school-community cooperation. Strategies to cultivate cultural capital include integrating local and global cultures into physical education curricula, incorporating sports history and culture into teaching, promoting cross-cultural sports exchanges and interdisciplinary integration, and strengthening teacher training in cultural education.
