AQA A-Level Sociology: Class Differences in Achievement -
Streaming
- Streaming involves
separating children into
different ability groups or
classes called 'streams'
- Each ability group is
then taught separately
from the others for all
subjects.
- Studies show that the self-fulfilling
prophecy is particularly likely to
occur when children are streamed.

- Each ability group is

- Howard Becker shows that teachers do not
usually see working-class children as ideal
pupils. They tend to see them as lacking
ability and have low expectations of them.
- Once streamed, it is usually difficult to
move up to a higher stream; children
are locked into their teachers' low
expectations of them. Children in lower
streams 'get the message' that their
teachers have written them off as
'no-hopers'.
- This creates a self-fulfilling
prophecy in which the pupils
live up to their teachers' low
expectations by
underachieving.
- Douglas found that children placed in a
lower stream at age 8 had suffered a
decline in their IQ score by age 11.
- By contrast, middle-class
pupils tend to benefit from
streaming.
- They are likely to be placed
in higher streams, reflecting
teachers' views of them as
ideal pupils. Consequently,
they develop a more positive
self-image and gain
confidence, thereby working
hard to improve their grades.

- STREAMING & THE A-TO-C
ECONOMY
- A study of two London
secondary schools by David
Gillborn and Deborah Youdell
(2001) shows how teachers
use stereotypical notions of
'ability' to stream pupils.
- They found that teachers are less likely to
see working-class pupils as having ability.
Consequently, these pupils are more likely to
be placed in lower streams and entered for
lower-tier GCSEs.
- This denies them the
knowledge and opportunity
needed to gain good grades
and widens the class gap in
achievement.
- Gillborn and Youdell link this to the policy of
publishing exam league tables. These rank each
school according to it's exam performance.
- Schools need to have a good league
table position in order to attract
pupils and funding.
- Publishing league tables creates
what Gillborn and Youdell call an
'A-to-C economy' in schools.
- This is a system in which schools
focus their time, effort and
resources on those pupils they
see as having the potential to get
five grade Cs and so boost the
school's league table position.
- Gillborn and Youdell call this process
'educational triage'.
- 'Triage' means 'sorting'. This term is used to describe
the process on battlefields, whereby medical staff
decide who is to be given the scarce medical
resources they have.
- Medics have to sort casualties into three
categories
- The 'waking wounded' -
who can be ignored as
they will survive.
- Those who will die
anyway, who can be
ignored.
- Those with a chance of
survival, who are given
treatment in the hope of
saving them.
- The 'waking wounded' -
who can be ignored as
they will survive.
- Medics have to sort casualties into three
categories
- The A-to-C economy produces educational
triage.
- Schools categorise pupils into
three types
- Those who will
pass anyway
and can be left
to get on with
it.
- Those with potential,
who will be helped to
get a grade C or better.
- Hopeless cases, who are doomed to
fail.

pass anyway

- Consequently, they are likely to be
labelled as 'hopeless cases' and simply
'warehoused' in the bottom sets. This
produces a self-fulfilling prophecy and
failure.
