Noëlle Bisseret : Selection in the University and its Significance for the Study of Relations of Dominance.
This is a study of the university careers of 6.919 students in letters. It shows some results of the selection at college level, and follows a former study, already published, on the factors of selection during the first year. It reveals the process by which concrete and symbolic elements (especially sex and social class) chararcterize the starting point of students in the hierarchical system. This difference in status determines the probabilities of orientation towards more prestigious fields of study and also determines the possibility for success in the university; moreover, the structure and functioning of the school system works towards the accomplishment of a goal which remains hidden from the « social actors » concerned. If the school system does not fulfill its theoretical function of equalizing opportunity, this is due to the close connection between the economic system and the school system. This connection is accepted with difficulty by reformers, who pay more attention to the internal analysis of the school system. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
