- Ethnic Differences - Internal
- Labelling and Teacher Racism
- Black Pupils
- Gillborn and Youdell. Teachers are quicker to discipline black pupils due to teachers radical expectations.
- Teachers expect black pupils to have more disciplinary problems, causing more trouble.
- Teachers act on their responses because they interpret them differently. This then causes the pupils to respond negatively, making the teachers believe more labels.
- Black pupils felt like teachers picked on them and underestimated them.
- These negative labels can result in pupils having low levels of achievement.
- Asian Pupils
- Wright. Teachers had ethnocentric beliefs, taking for granted british culture and thinking English is superior.
- They believe that Asian students have a poor understaning of English so will put them to the side by not including them or not speak properly to the pupils.
- They're affected when their culture or customs at disapproved of and their names are misspelt or mispronounced.
- Teachers label different minority groups in school. These can affect how the students are treated, disadvantaging their educational experience.
- Black Pupils
- Pupil responses and Subcultures
- Fuller and Mac an Ghaill
- Black girls in year 11. These were high achievers. They didn't accept negative stereotypes but challenged these labels by putting their anger into trying to achieve in school.
- Students with negative labels don't always accept them. Labels don't always result in self fulfilling prophecy.
- Mirza
- The girls studied failed to achieve due to their coping strategies. Teachers weren't ambitious for black pupils.
- The colour blind - teachers who believed all pupils are equal but allow racism to go unchallenged.
- Liberal chauvinists - b teachers who believe blak pupils are culturally deprived. They have low expectations of them.
- Overt racist - believes back pupils are inferior and actively discriminate against them.
- The girls only asked certain teachers for help and kept to themselves to do work. This disadvantaged them. They also didn't take part in some talks.
- Fuller and Mac an Ghaill
- Ethnocentric Curriculum
- An attitude or policy giving priority to the culture and viewpoint of one ethnic group, disregarding others
- Schools are seen to give priority to English culture and language.
- The national curriculum is regarded as mainly british and largely ignores other cultures.
- Ball criticises the national curriculum as it ignores cultural and ethnic diversity.
- This can produce underachievement in some students. If their culture and minority goup is taught in a negative way or upsetting then it may affect their self esteem
- Institutional Racism
- Discrimination built into the way that institutions operate.
- Ethnoentric curriculum is an example of this. Focusing on one ethnic group disadvantages others.
- this can disregard different ethnicity groups needs.
- Selection and Segregation
- Gillborn. Marketisation has allowed schools to have more choice over their students. This disadvantages minority groups.
- Selection of students allows schools to use negative stereotypes as an influence over their pick of students.
- Tests at primary schools were used to determine pupils achievement. They were white favoured, disadvantaging people of other ethnic minorities.
- As a result of these, pupil who are disadvantaged are more likely to end up at unpopular schools. This affects their education due to the resources/teachers available.
- Parents choice also has an influence. Some may not choose a certain school for their child depending on the pupils already there, eg if it's mainly white pupils or Asian pupils.
