- What are school factors?
- Labelling
- Streaming
- The self-fulfilling prophecy
- Pupil subcultures
- Processes that occur within the education system
- What are school factors?
- Pupil subcultures
- Pupils form pro- and anti-school subcultures
- Can be based on labelling & streaming
- May be based on pupil identity
- Pupils who are labelled as failures / placed into lower streams may seek status in an alternative status hierarchy
- Nike Identity
- Forming a pupil subculture based on sports brands & identity policing
- Pupils may feel pressure to not work hard ("losing yourself")
- Ev. Influence of w/c subcultural values: collectivism & fatalism (Sugarman)
- Pupils may feel pressure to not work hard ("losing yourself")

- Pupils form pro- and anti-school subcultures
- Lacey: Streaming
- This is where pupils are put into sets based on their perceived ability for all subjects
- May be based on labelling
- May lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy
- The self-fulfilling prophecy
- Leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy
- A self-fulfilling prophecy is where a prediction comes true simply by being made
- E.g. Rosenthal & Jacobson - IQ tests experiment
- The teacher makes a prediction of how a student will perform.
- May be based on labelling
- Introduce labelling theory
- Labelling is where a teacher attaches certain expectations / characteristics to a pupil
- W/c pupils labelled negatively. M/c pupils labelled positively
- Ev. These labels may be based on things caused by external factors e.g. material deprivation may mean a pupil looks scruffy / poor vocab may be the result of socialisation into the restricted language code
- E.g. "he is badly behaved" / "she is not academic" / "she is a bright pupil"
- Pupils internalise these labels and act accordingly
- E.g. by misbehaving & playing truant or working hard
- Ev. Fuller: Some pupils reject these labels (w/c black girls who were successful)
- Leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy
- W/c pupils labelled negatively. M/c pupils labelled positively
- Labelling is where a teacher attaches certain expectations / characteristics to a pupil
- Introduce labelling theory
- Pupils internalise the labels & act accoringly
- Pupil goes on to fulfil the prediction made by the teacher
- Ev. Too deterministic. Impact of parents is more important as poor but educated / supportive parents are more likely to help their child e.g. use of income
- Pupil goes on to fulfil the prediction made by the teacher
- May be based on labelling
- The self-fulfilling prophecy
- Leads to polarisation
- This is where pupils form pro- and anti- school subcultures, depending on which stream they are in
