Abstract

Cultural resources are key themes when considering educational inequalities and disparities in the social structure. Inspired by Bernstein's invisible pedagogy, this study proposes a model of family transition and knowledge accessibility in child-rearing in Japan. We focus on the reading activities in a community library, conduct a case study of parental consciousness in family education in Tokyo, and examine the possibility of creating cultural resources by improving the reading environment at the local level.
