class/social differences in educational achievement
how
social class
effects
educational achievement
(
outside factor
)
kids from
higher social class
backgrounds
more likely to go through
higher education
more
likely
to study
A-levels
to be in a
higher set or stream
through the course of their secondary school times
more likely to be
conformist
and to achieve the
'ideal pupil'
status
kids from
lower class
backgrounds
lower class pupils are
more likely to
vocational courses like
apprenticeships
as it'll make them more independent, taking the burden off their parents to feed them
on average they
achieve lower scores in major exams
than higher or middle class students
more likely to be placed in
lower streams or sets
labeling, streaming and subcultures
(
inside factor
)
labeling
negative labeling
can lead to a
self-fulfilling prophecy of failure
Becker
and
Keddie
- teachers
evaluate students
in comparison to their own ideals of their
'ideal student
'
streaming
pupils in
top streams
tend to be more from
higher/middle class
backgrounds
subcultures
as a
response to negative labeling and frustration
with low status pupils from
lower class
backgrounds
may form
anti-school subcultures
Woods - non-conformist reactions
were more likely to come from
working class students
material deprivation
(outside factor)
The
Joseph Rowntree Foundation
classified
1/10 children as poor
Halsey
- said the
most important factor
preventing working class students from on at school or not performing in class would be
lack of financial support
Douglas
- found that children in
unsatisfactory living conditions didn't do very well in ability tests
compared to kids from comfortable backgrounds
unemployment, 0 hour contracts or low income
means
less money for school supplies
, better schools or decent nurseries, they also might
not be able to afford uni
for their kids
poverty and unsatisfactory living conditions
may
cause health
problems which would
result in absences
from college/school which means less time studying which means you
won't achieve your full potential
in education
cultural deprivation
(outside factor)
Douglas
-
thought the level of interest from parents was the most important factor in affecting achievement
of their child. However
working class parents have less time
as they're stereo-typically have less time as thy're working long hours in order to
provide food and shelter for their kids
working class kids typically don't have the knowledge and values
that help them to achieve in education
some
styles of parenting
emphasie the need for education unlike others,
regardless of their social class
