Education - Coggle Diagram

- - - - The comprehensive school system:
        
        introduced in 1965, it aimed to overcome the divisions of the tripartite system and make education more meritocratic.
        
        the 11+ was to be abolished, and all pupils will attend the comprehensive school in their area.
        
        however, not all schools went 'comprehensive', and so the divide still exists in many areas.
- - - - Bernstein (1975) Speech codes:
        
        The restricted code: typically used by working-class, limited vocab, predictable and may only involve a single word or gesture, context-bound.
        
        The elaborated code: typically used by middle-class, wider vocab, more varied and abstract, context-free.
        
        These differences give middle-class students an advantage and working-class students a disadvantage.
    - - Parents' educational behaviors:
        
        educated parents are more aware of what's needed to assist their children's educational progress, also they're better able to get expert advice on childrearing, more successful in establishing good relationships with teachers, and better at guiding their children's interaction with the school.
        Use of income:
        
        Bernstein and Young (1967) found middle-class mothers are more likely to buy educational toys, books, and activities that encourage reasoning skills. and stimulate intellectual development.
        Class, income, and parent education:
        
        Feinstein notes that parental education influences children's achievement in its own right, regardless of class or income.
        
        Thus, even within a given social class, better-educated parents tend to have more successful children
    - - according to Blackstone and Mortimore (1944), working-class parents attend fewer parents' evening, not because of a lack of interest, but because they are working longer or less regular hours, they may want to help with their children's prgress but they lack the knowledge and education to do so.
