internal Flashcards
(20 cards)
what are the 5 internal factors
-labelling
-SFP
-pupil class identities
-setting and streaming
-pupil subcultures
Becker study
ideal pupil
-60 chicago teachers judge ppl on how well they fit the ideal pupil
-mc= closest to ideal pupil, wc= furthest away
Amelia
how ideal pupil differs
-in wc primary skls ideal p= quiet, passive and kids defined by behaviour not ability
-in mc primary skls few discipline issues so ideal p defined by academics
dunne and gazeley
-secondary skl labelling
-teachers normalised wc under achievement , concerned but little could do
-felt could overcome MC underachievement (gave extension tasks)
-believed wc parents uninterested and Mc supportive
-enter wc for easier exams
rist
primary labelling
-teachers used backgrounds to group kids,
-fast learners= tigers - mc
-less able = clowns, back of class, less attention, wc
Rosenthal and Jacobsons study
found the SFP
-told skls had a new test to discover kids that’d ‘bloom’ academically that yr
-was actually a normal IQ test and picked kids names randomly and told teachers these had higher academic ability
-teachers targeted these kids with positive feedback and encouragement and those kids did bloom
AO3 Rosenthal and Jacobson
-shouldbt assume all students accept label , too deterministic
-some prove label wrong. - fuller and mizra
Lacey- state and exp
2 processes on how subcultures develop
1-differentiation - categorised by perceived ability or behaviour (set/stream)
2-polarisation- pupils respond to stream by one extreme or another
ie. pro skl or anti skl sub
hargreeves
anti-ski sub form as boys in lower sets seen as triple failures
-failed 11+
-put in low streams
-labelled worthless
therefore they set up a group they can gain status in alternate ways by breaking rules
ball study = A03 for Lacey and hargreeves
studied a skl that abolished streaming and found pupils in polarising sub dissapeared but teacher labelling continued on who was ‘able’
-lose labelled as ‘able’ recieved high results
-proves without streaming and subcultures labelling still leads to SFP
A03 for Lacey = woods -
believes 4 reasons to why subcultures form
1-integration (follow rules )
2-ritualism (stay out trouble)
3-retresim (daydream)
4- rebellion (reject skl)
furlong = A03
subcultures not fixed, no 1 set response, varies subject or teacher
criticisms of pupil subcultures
-labelling is a determonistic theory sees behaiviour as determined by external factors ignores free will
-marx- argue labelling is due to RC ideologies
archer
nike identities
-wc pupils feel society looks down on them so create their own identity (nike)
-wc styles conflict with sk dress code(mc habitus)
-nike identities create marginalisation in skl (put in iso) so wc pupils choose self exclusion
- get message skl isn’t for the likes of them
ingram
study 2 similar sets of students in deprived neighbourhood , those at grammar skl found hard to fit in bc class of mc and wc habitus
-wc taunted by mc for wearing tracksuit on non uniform day
bourdeui
- wc, say oxbridge unis not for the likes of them so exclude from applying
-forced to choose own identity / abandon and conform to mc to succeed
gilboure and yodels 3 findings
-setting and streaming
-A-C economy
-educational triage
what’s setting and streaming exp
splitting kids into group based off ability, leads to SFP
-wc= low stream, mc= higher
-stream affects achievement , lower streams have poorer behaiviour and easier work
what’s a-c economy
system where skls focus their time and effort and resources to pupil most likely to get 5 Cs to boost league tables
what’s educational triage
3 categories
led by a-c economy
1-hopeless- fail
2-potential to pass with help
3-pass alone
