Page 2: Internal Factors and Criticism of Cultural Deprivation
This page examines criticisms of cultural deprivation theory and explores internal factors affecting ethnic differences in educational achievement.
Highlight: Material deprivation significantly impacts ethnic minority students, with half of ethnic minority children living in low-income households.
The page discusses several key aspects of institutional racism and labeling:
- Teacher expectations and racial stereotyping
- Differential treatment of Asian and Black pupils
- Impact of social exclusion
Example: Teachers were found to use simplistic language with Asian pupils, assuming poor English skills, and frequently mispronounced their names.
Quote: "Gillborn and Youdell found teachers had 'racialised expectations' about black pupils and expected more discipline problems and saw their behaviour as threatening."
Vocabulary: Racialised expectations - preconceived notions and stereotypes about students based on their racial or ethnic background.
