Boys and achievement-sociologist list
Key:
Heheh-Sociologist Heheh-Important information

Feminisation of education

● Sewell(2006):
- Feminisation of education
- More female teaching
- Shortage of male primary school teachers(2007 YouGov study- only 14% of
male primary school teachers)
- Coursework and bedroom culture, and the need for exams(competition for
men)
- “We have challenged the 1950’s patriarchy and rightly said that this is not a
man's world. But we have thrown the boy out with the bath water”-Sewell
Quote
- Gender, class and ethnicity: Links to Fuller- black girls study(they rejected
negative labelling and created a positive sense of fatalism for themselves
→ they achieved very good/high grades = Black girls define their femininity
in terms of educational achievement and independence
- black boys define their masculinity in opposition to school and educational
achievement(effeminate)



Globalisation and the decline of traditional jobs

● Mitsos and Browne(1998):
- Globalisation and the decline of traditional men's jobs(working-class male
jobs)
- 1980’s rapid decline in jobs such as iron and steel, shipbuilding, mining and
engineering(globalisation of the economy→cheap labour in developing
countries, like China)
- This led to an ‘identity crisis for men’→little prospect of getting a job, which
creates low self-esteem/motivation which means they don't see the idea of
getting qualifications
