AQA Sociology Education Theory 5: Relationships & Processes in Schools
Summary | Theorist | Year |
---|---|---|
Subcultures are not always coherent groups with shared values, as Willis, Hargreaves, etc. suggest. Identities are an amalgamation of a variety of influences. | Woods | 1983 |
There are five different male subcultures: 'macho lads', 'academic achievers', 'new enterprisers', 'real englishmen' and gay students. | Mac an Ghaill | 1994 |
There has been a 'remasculisation of the vocational curriculum'. Although girls dislike the masculinity of 'macho lads', most sought boyfriends. | Mac an Ghaill | 1994 |
Young black women have a positive attitude towards success; however, some view teachers as racist, leading to a lack of respect for schools as institutions. | Mirza | 1992 |
Muslim boys often drew upon aspects of Black culture, though their own academically-driven culture sometimes clashed with the hyper-masculine ideals, and they still tended to work hard. | Archer | 2003 |
Young working class White women aren't as rebellious as the 'lads' in Willis' study. They formed friendships and deviance took a sexual nature rather than trouble-making. Women entered work for markets of labour, sexual relations or marriage. | Griffin | 1985 |
Teachers ascribe low ability to working class pupils. | Becker | 1971 |
Teachers systematically discriminate against working class pupils by failing to recognise their intelligence. | Gillborn and Youdell | 1999 |
Inaccurate teacher expectations lead to long term effects and a self fulfilling prophecy, particularly for children in lower-income families. | Sorhagen | 2013 |
Grouping is not always only based on attainment; often behaviour is taken into consideration, which can negatively affect working class pupils. | Ireson et al | 2002 |
Though structural influences are important in ned/chav culture, a lot of middle class pupils choose this identity because it obtains them social status among peers (agency-based influences). | Young | 2012 |
The hidden curriculum puts emphasis on efficiency and value for money over equality, | Cotton, Winter & Bailey | 2013 |
Working class anti-school subcultures are found in bottom sets and are caused by labelling. | Hargreaves | 1967 |
