Inequalities in Schools: Socio-Economic Background Or Culture, Method Of Curriculum Transmission And Language

Berstein's analysis of the social class assumptions of pedagogic practice is the foundation for linking micro educational processes to the macro sociological levels of structure and class/power relations .Berstein's project seeks to link micro processes ( Language transmission and pedagogy ) to how cultural and educational codes and the content and the content and the processes of education are related to social class and power relations. It is positioning of indirect relation of education to production and his emphasis on the manner in which the realm of symbolic control does not directly correspond to the economic field and does not directly correspond to the economic field and does not answer his neo-Marxist critics. However this work does continue his attempt to demonstrate the relationships between the Economy , family and the school and how Educational practices reflect complex tensions in these relationships. The rules of pedagogic practice define how knowledge is relayed / transmitted and how these inter-actional processes reflect essential social class assumptions about the child the teacher , role of the family and the process of learning.
