Why are children from disadvantaged and minority communities
overrepresented among academic underachievers, poor learners and
school dropouts? This volume engages with this question and
examines classroom learning as a process that involves a multitude
of actors situated in specific social, cultural, and historical
contexts. The volume covers an interdisciplinary spectrum of
educational processes, contexts, educational ambitions, and
limitations of low caste, working class and middle-class students
from different Indian communities and regions. The volume delves
into the problem of academic underperformance from a social
identity perspective and probes into social context-based
variability in classroom learning, systemic disadvantages in the
form of negative stereotypes and the family as an under-studied
social group in all discussions of schooling. It also examines the
teacher perceptions and attitudes toward Adivasi students and other
minority groups in primary schools, and their effect on children's
classroom engagement. The essays in this volume provide insights
into unresolved and critical research questions that require
attention of teachers, school management, educators, and policy
makers alike. This book will also be useful for academicians,
policymakers, teacher educators, pedagogic practitioners in India
and abroad, and state and central government institutions working
on school education, educational psychology, policymaking in
education, learning methods and research on educational
enhancement.
