...The internal factors of educational underachievement refers to factors within the school that affect how pupils academically succeed, for example; interactions between pupils and teachers and inequalities between schools. Sociologists can suggest the reasons why these internal factors occur through a child's class, ethnicity and gender; such as the labelling theory, the self-fulfilling prophecy, pupils subcultures and institutional racism. Despite judging or stereotyping a person based on their class, ethnicity or gender being widely condemned in our modern society, it is clear from research that it still occurs in schools, however it is not necessarily intentional. The labelling theory suggests that teachers label pupils depending on how well they fit their idea of an 'ideal pupil'. These labels do not often reflect the pupil's actual ability or attitude, but they are based on stereotypical assumptions from a pupil's class background, ethnicity or potentially their gender. Ray Rist's study in 1970 of an American kindergarten showed that a child's home background and appearance determined what groups they were separated into on each table, not the child's ability. 'Ideal pupils' were commonly found to be middle-class children of whom had a clean and neat appearance. These children were seated closest to the teacher being given the most encouragement. The remaining groups labelled 'clowns' and were seated furthest from the teacher. Children in these 'clown' groups were likely...

...Student withdrawal from university is an ongoing problem for universities and there are many factors which can affect it. The five main factors affecting student drop-out rates are due to students failing their course, personality issues, financial issues, commitment problems and academic ability (Mackie, 2001). However, the institution and the student can improve retention by trying to resolve the issue. Interestingly, in 2007/08 in the UK there was a 9% overall drop-out rate, 7.4% young and 14.8% mature students dropping out. Millennium institute (UHI) has the highest drop-out rate in the UK at 28.4% and unsurprising Cambridge has the lowest with 1% (Google, 2011). In this essay the five main factors of why students drop-out of university will be discussed with what the university and student can do to try and retain from withdrawing from university. Failing the course at university is a main reason as to why students are required to drop-out of their studies early (Adams, 1996 cited in Mackie, 2001).

They found that people were struggling with their course and was one of the most common reasons given by students as why they were leaving their university education. Another reason given by students was that they had picked the wrong subject or that they had lack of guidance from lecturers. Another study looked at students; some having had left their...

Playing computer games, watching their favorite television show or movies and hanging out with friends are some common habits that usually students have. These habits make them forget to do their school responsibilities because of enjoyment that it causes to them. Good study habits are the key to learning. Everyone cannot be brilliant but everyone can learn how to study. Even highly intelligent students fail due to inefficient work and lack of knowledge on how to study effectively.
