ethnicity - internal key sociologists Flashcards
(9 cards)
Gilborn and Youdell
argues schools are institutionally racist and have racialised expectations
teachers expect black pupils to have more behavioural problems
may be why exclusions for black Caribbean boys are higher than any other ethnic group
Osler
black pupils appear more likely to suffer from unrecorded, unofficial exclusions and from ‘internal exclusions’ (isolation)
more likely to be sent to pupil referral units
Wright
studied multi-ethnic primary schools
teachers assumed british culture was superior
assumed Asian pupils would have a poor grasp of English
pupils left out of class discussions
teachers used simplistic, childish language
not seen as a threat but ignored
Archer
teachers have three stereotypical pupil identities
ethnic minorities are more likely to be labelled as ‘pathologised’ or ‘demonised’
1) ideal pupil = white MC masculine identity with a ‘normal’ sexuality
2) pathologised pupil = Asian, ‘deserving poor’, feminised identity, pupil is a conformist, achieves through hard work
3) demonised = black or white pupil, WC pupil, unintelligent
Gilborn
marketisation and segregation
increase in marketisation means that schools have more scope to be selective with their intake
means more negative stereotypes may influence decisions about school admissions
Moore and Davenport
admission procedures favoured white pupils over ethnic minorities
David
argues the national corriculum is ‘specifically British’ and focuses only on white culture ignoring non European languages, literature and music
Ball
‘little Englandism’
corriculum focuses on white British culture and tries to recreate ‘a mythical age of empire and past glories while largely ignoring the history of Black + Asian people’
Coard
highlights how Black culture and history is taught to be primitive and how white people civilised such groups
