slide1. Intelligence tests Could you have passed the eleven plus examination?<br>
slide2. 1 A man left home at 11.30 a.m. and cycled 5 miles to a railway station at the rate of 12 miles an hour. He waited 10 minutes at the station and then travelled by train a distance of 36 miles at the rate of 24 miles an hour. At what time did he reach his destination?
2 There were 9,975 spectators at a football match. This is 5 per cent more than were present at the preceding match. How many attended the previous match? Arithmetic<br>
slide3. 1. 1.35 p.m.
2. 9,500 spectators Arithmetic answers<br>
slide4. Write out the following passage again, including only the one correct word from each bracket: The boy (who, whom, what) we met at the baths and (who, whom, what) spoke to (you, I, me) and (you, I, me) is Harry Baines; he (use, used) to live near me and he often (come, came, went) to my house to play with me. He had a good stamp collection; the total number of his stamps (are, was, were) more than three thousand. (He, Him, Me) and (I, him, me) (was, am, were) great friends.
2 Make adjectives from these nouns: beauty, slope, glass, friend, doubt, expense, delight, sleep, danger, sport. English<br>
slide5. 1. The boy whom we met at the baths and who spoke to you and me is Harry Baines; he used to live near me and he often came to my house to play with me. He had a good stamp collection; the total number of his stamps was more than three thousand. He and I were great friends.
2. beautiful, sloping, glassy, friendly, doubting, expensive, delightful, sleeping, dangerous, sporting/sporty English answers<br>
slide6. The leader of a Guide patrol is named Mary Jenkins; so her surname is Jenkins, her Christian name is Mary, and her initials are M.J. There are 6 other girls in her patrol; each has 2 initials. Surnames: Brown, Smith, Evans, Clark, Jones. Christian names: Molly, Celia, Gwen, Ruth, Sally. Two girls have surname and Christian names beginning with the same letter; two others are named Ruth. One of the twins has the same initials as the leader, and the other has the same Christian name as Evans. Write down each girl's full name. General intelligence<br>
slide7. Celia Clark
Sally Smith
Molly Jones
Ruth Jones
Ruth Evans
Gwen Brown General intelligence answer<br>
slide8. Is the education system meritocratic? Evaluating the extent to which children have equality of opportunity in British schools<br>
slide9. To understand that children have very different experiences of education.
To understand that many factors can affect how well children do in school; many of these are social and not intellectual.
To identify some of the social characteristics that predispose children to failure or success. Sociological Targets<br>
slide10. One of the main understandings of the functionalist view of the education system is that it acts as a ladder of opportunity for people to achieve the best that they can, according to their ability.
The best people will then go on to gain the best jobs and become the leaders of their society.
This belief is known as meritocracy. What is meritocracy?<br>
slide11. The education system in Britain since World War 2 has operated under the principle of providing equal opportunity for all pupils.
Do all children in Britain have an equal chance to do well?
Is Britain a meritocracy? Current social debate<br>
slide12. Equality of Opportunity
Every one has equal access to the institutions of society
Equality of Outcome
People appear in social institutions in the proportions in which they appear in our society A H Halsey<br>
slide13. ONS Social Class Scheme- Class 1- Higher managerial and professional
Class 2- Lower managerial/ professional
Class 3- Intermediate (clerical workers)
Class 4- Small business owners/ self-employed
Class 5- Supervisors, craft and related
Class 6- Semi routine (hairdressers/ cooks)
Class 7- Routine
Class 8- Unemployed<br>
slide14. Attainment of five or more GCSE grades A* to C: by parental NS-SEC, 2002, England & Wales<br>
slide15. 58.2% achieved 5 or more A* to C grades at GCSE or equivalent including English and mathematics GCSEs (an increase of 3.0 percentage points from the year 2009 to 2010).
Girls continue to outperform boys: 61.9% of girls achieved 5 or more A* to C grades at GCSE or equivalent including English and mathematics GCSEs compared with 54.6% of boys.
Chinese pupils are the highest attaining ethnic group, with 78.5% achieving 5 or more A* to C grades at GCSE or equivalent including English and mathematics GCSEs.
58.5% of pupils whose first language is English achieved 5 or more A* to C grades at GCSE or equivalent including English and mathematics GCSEs, compared to 55.8% of pupils for whom English is not a first language.
34.6% of pupils eligible for FSM achieved 5 or more A* to C grades at GCSE or equivalent including English and mathematics GCSEs, compared to 62.0% of all other pupils.
33.8% of disadvantaged pupils (pupils eligible for FSM or looked-after children) achieved 5 or more A* to C grades at GCSE or equivalent including English and mathematics GCSEs, compared to 62.3% of all other pupils.
The proportion of pupils with SEN without a statement achieving achieved 5 or more A* to C grades at GCSE or equivalent including English and mathematics GCSEs is 24.7% , compared to 8.5% of pupils with SEN with a statement, and 69.5% of pupils with no identified SEN.<br>
slide16. What is the relationship between social class and educational attainment? Understanding Does this inequality of educational attainment really matter?
Look at the next slide for an answer<br>
slide17. Employment rates and gross weekly earnings for full-time employees of working age: by highest qualification, spring 2003, UK<br>
slide18. Reay et al 2005
Investigated influence of class on choices at Higher Education.
Used questionnaires to 502 students and 120 in-depth interviews and focus groups with colleges around London.
Found upper/middle class students had more confidence to apply for prestigious universitites.
Evaluation ?? See handout ! Important Research Study<br>
slide19. Social class
Gender
Ethnicity
Locality and type of school attended. Who is unequal?<br>
slide20. Equality of opportunity is when people have the same rights and opportunities.
British society does offer equality of opportunity, with some exceptions.
Equality of outcome is when people actually do as well or as badly in the proportion in which they appear in the population.
British society does not have equality of outcome, and in many cases, inequalities are widening.
The main areas of inequality are social class, gender, ethnicity and locality. Summary of key points<br>
slide21. Is the British education system meritocratic?
You will need to summarise the key points of the lesson, briefly and succinctly.
Show AO1 skills of knowledge. Assessment<br>
