This study is motivated by the problematic of underdeveloped literacy skills, particularly the reading and writing skills of at-risk learners, and draws theoretical support from Basil Bernstein’s sociology of education linked with the ‘school effectiveness’ theory of teacher expectations. I suggest a relation between the social context or community of a school, the culture and order of the school, and forms of teacher expectations, to propose a school-level expectation orientation that suggests a particular theory of instruction. For my investigation of teacher expectations, I select two contrasting, relatively high-performing, primary schools in working-class contexts in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, and I interview grade 3 and grade 6 language teachers. Interview questions are based upon a novel conceptualization of expectations. 2015-01-10T13:41:01Z 2015-01-10T13:41:01Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MEd http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12018 eng application/pdf School of Education Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
