questionaires -- Alice sullivan (2001) class, cultural capital am d achievement
What did they find out and do! collected data from 465 pupils in 5 schools using questionaires. She asked questions about parents educational achievments. Sullivan found a link between pupils performance in GCSE's and having high levels of cultural capital. She also found a link between levels of cultural capital and social economic background.
Practical issues! questionaires mean that it is possible to gather large amounts of data quickly and cheaply. Extensive sampling frames such as lists of pupils and staff already exist and it is possible ton access a large number of respondents in one place. However researches are limited in the questions they can put to young children or others with low literacy rates.
Ethical issues! The main ethical issue is ensuring anonymity of respondents and getting truly informed consent from young children
theoretical issues! dominance and impact of peer groups may influence the answers pupils give, difficult to prevent discussion amongst pupils and so they may collabaret on their responses, both of these issues have impacts upon validity of the data collected.
