factors that affect education
External Factors
Cooper & Stewart 2013
- W/C students have worse
cognitive social behavioural & health outcomes
bc of
poverty
Waldfogal & Washbrook
- kids from low income likely to live in
cold, unclean & overcrowded housing
→ more likely to have poorer diet → sickness → more absences
low income - educational books not bought & have limited access to internet
→ lack of money for school activities → cultural deprivation
Material supporting research
Gibson & Asthana 1999
- greater level of disadvantage - the slimmer the chance of achieving 5 GCSE grades
statistics demonstrate highest achievers come from most advantaged backgrounds
Douglas
- parental interest is most influential factor in educational achievement
Cultural deprivation
values, attitudes & language
of W/C deprived
LANGUAGE : BERNSTEIN
- depends on ability to *read, understand, write & able to explain yourself - determine success in edu.
→ skills are developed within family
ELABORATED & RESTRICTED CODES
way of accounting for poor performance of W/C on language based subjects
elaborated - formal & sophisticated- sort for in schools
Restricted - slangified & simple - W/C will use
Bernstein criticisms
claims all variations use specific codes - wide contrasts w/ classes
Labov
- criticises W/C speech is inferior to M/C
→looked at
Harlem NY
& found W/C speech is
more effective
than M/C which becomes
irrelevant
Criticisms of cultural explanations
W/C parents ARE concerned for children's success
parents cannot take interest bc of work & get less time off w/ pay
Role schools play
play role in formulating kids
attitudes & ambitions
M/C receive more praise bc teachers resonate more w/ them
W/C kids more likely to be labelled →
'born to fail'
- will lead to self-fulfillng prophecy
