abstract |
Existing international research suggests that widespread performative pedagogy has
contributed to producing educational inequalities for ‘disadvantaged’ learners. There
have also been calls for alternative pedagogies, which can be characterised as child-centred.
This paper analyses pupils’ hierarchical positioning in a contemporary, mixed socio-economic,
child-centred classroom using Bernstein’s theory of competence pedagogy and the concept
of the ideal pupil. The ideal pupil’s central characteristics were perceived ‘intelligence’
and ‘good humour’, which were closely associated with middle class boys. Middle class
and working class girls were positioned against a female ideal pupil, who would take
on a supporting role by creating a facilitating environment for boys’ learning. While
middle class girls were moderately successful in approximating these characteristics,
working class girls were positioned at the bottom of the class hierarchy. These findings
have implications for these pupils’ self-perceptions, and raise questions about the
implications of child-centred pedagogy for social justice. |
