The one-in-ten: quantitative Critical Race Theory and the education of the ‘new (white) oppressed’

ABSTRACT

This paper challenges the notion that quantitative data – as a numeric truth – exist independent of a nation’s political and racial landscape. Utilising large-scale national attainment data, the analysis challenges the belief that ‘White working class’ children in England, especially boys, are ‘the new oppressed’ – as a former equality adviser has publicly claimed. The analysis applies Quantitative Critical Race Theory, or ‘QuantCrit’, an emerging quantitative sub-field of Critical Race Theory in education. The paper argues that far from being ‘oppressed’, White boys continue to enjoy achievement advantages over numerous minoritised groups; especially their peers of Black Caribbean ethnic origin. Additionally, the analysis uniquely exposes racialised trends of ‘equivalency’ in core subject qualifications, whereby minority ethnic children are over-represented in certain lower-status qualifications that are counted as equivalent in education statistics but not in the real world labour market. The analysis concludes that knowing misrepresentations of quantitative data are at the heart of an institutional process through which race and racism are produced, legitimised and perpetuated in education.

中国共产党依法治国方略理论渊源探析

江泽民同志在党的十五大报告中,把“依法治国,建设社会主义法治国家”作为党领导人民治理国家的基本方略,正式载入党的决议。这标志着社会主义法治理论日益走向成熟。依法治国方略,是在继承前人正确的理论思想的基础上提出来的,是对马克思、恩格斯、列宁、毛泽东、邓小平法制思     

我国信贷传导渠道受阻的原因分析及对策建议

造成信贷传导渠道日趋萎缩的主要原因有二：一是巨大存差的存在；二是资金分布的结构性矛盾。要从根本上解决该问题，政府相关部门、中央银行和商业银行应相互协调，促使信贷传导渠道的疏通。     

高校毕业生就业过程中的诚信问题及对策

当前高校毕业生就业过程中的不守诚信的行为有许多表现形式。本分析了产生这些现象的原因，并就加强对高校毕业生进行诚信教育，制止少数学生在就业过程中的不讲道德、缺乏诚信的行为提出了意见和建议。     

论信用权在我国民法典中的确立

当前我国的信用现状不能令人满意，存在诸多信用失范现象，这导致了现时信用环境恶劣，也阻碍了我国社会主义市场经济的健康发展。法学界也对此予以关注，并试图以民法典立法确立信用权为人格权的路径进行规范，并且当前几个建议稿对信用权的规定有很大不同，皆有不完善之处。因此，应当进行整合，在未来民法典中对信用权作出完善的规制，构建我国的完整信用权制度，形成完善的信用体系。     

延续性护理对脑卒中患者知信行的效果研究

目的:探讨延续性护理干预对脑卒中患者知信行(KAP)功能康复的效果。方法:选择我院神经内科收治的脑卒中患者110例,随机分为对照组和干预组各55例。对照组采用神经内科常规护理,干预组在常规护理基础上联合延续性护理干预,通过对脑卒中患者的知识、态度及行为,比较两组的护理效果。结果对照组和干预组患者知信行问卷的总体得分,比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:通过延续护理干预方式对脑卒中患者的知信行功能康复起到治疗作用,纠正不当的生活行为,提升日常生活能力,明显改善康复锻炼的依从性。     

From the bottom-up: New York City teacher evaluation and the narration of mediated institutional assault

Following the trend of consequential accountability in US public education, New York City introduced a teacher evaluation program during the 2013–2014 school year that linked teachers’ individual performance ratings with their students’ exam scores. As this program systemically alters the nature of teacher–student relationships by transforming students into the means to an end (teachers’ professional viability), this study investigated the implementation of this accountability program from the point of view of the teachers – those who were the subject of this new policy. This study of 15 teachers’ narratives from 3 distinct schools illuminates a social-organizational process that I refer to as mediated institutional assault – a perceived attack on the teachers’ sense of personhood and moral agency perpetrated by mediating figures whose actions were facilitated by bureaucratic policies and institutionally coordinated tools of control. Thus, this study reveals that the consequence of this new mode of accountability is not merely the threat of losing one’s job, but also an insidious form of psychological assault, which in its masked delivery violates teachers’ sense of relational morality and challenges deeply engrained beliefs about their role as educators.
