Fair schooling

Ben Wilbrink


For literature in Dutch see another file eerlijk_onderwijs.htm


Relevant literature on genetics and educaton will be brought together in heritability.htm


An article on fair schooling, in Dutch, has appeared in the september 2018 special issue on equal opportunity of the educational journal Van Twaalf tot Achttien [not online], as well as on the Journal's website here .


Fair schooling is a very broad theme. My contributions (blogs) will be somewhat limited according to my own rather unique profile of expertise covering education research, differential and cognitive psychology, history of education, especially the links between these fields. Limited, yes, but I hope the strong point will be exploration of the many connections between these disparate fields. Be prepared for lots of surprises (I hope). Take-off blog here.

Subjects: talent and intelligence nature/nurture; fair instructional theory; fair schooling; fair equal opportunity; (+ historical lines)


Early kick off on Twitter: Twitter thread, also available as Twitter Moment here.

Hypothesis 1 robust instructional methods are possible / do exist / have been used - and researched. E.g., Hin-Tai’s instruction? Think so.

Hypothesis 2 Differences in talents/intelligence, having been acquired (mainly nurture), need not impact the effectiveness of robust instruction.


Hypothesis 3 Differences in talents/intelligence are mainly environmentally acquired, notwithstanding claims of psychologists (e.g., Jensen) and geneticists (e.g. Plomin).

Hypothesis 4 The main function of schooling is the teaching of biologically secondary (Geary) knowledge. (Other functions are derived).

Hypothesis 5 Schooling also impacts on growth in intelligence (witness the Flynn effect; summer lapse with low SES pupils; WóI Dutch kids).

Hypothesis 6 Instruction need not, & therefore should not, be contingent on differences in IQ. Mastery of curricular content is what counts.

Hypothesis 7 It is possible for robust instruction to result in appr. the same high levels of mastery for ALL pupils.

Hypothesis 8 Unequal pupil backgrounds/personalities will ultimately result in achievement differences (e.g. summer losses not compensated).

Hypothesis 9 Robust education will beat conventional and progressivist education in terms of, at least, cognitive achievements for all pupils.

Hypothesis 10 The idea of talent or intelligence being inborn is inherited from the 19th century

Hypothesis 11 More often than not, equal opportunity is considered conditional on talent or intelligence, both taken as inborn characteristics.

Hypothesis 12 Because of what is stated in Hypothesis 11, equal opportunity protagonists typically organize education in ways that tend to preserve class differences. Kind of a contradiction in terms.

Education is not a special topic, it has not been mentioned in the index. The 'ten central capabilities' are capabilities of adults only.

Why ‘fair’, not ‘equal’? In the real world there are no equalities. People and their circumstances are unequal; a just society treats people fairly according to their differences / different circumstances.

The idea behind my push for usage of fair chances in education, instead of equal chances: (1) ‘equal’ gives a false impression of simplicity, (2) ‘fair’ forces one to explicate what might be fair in particular circumstances for particular pupils.

The interesting chapter is XIV Individualism, heredity, and determinism (311-333).

About 1900, fierce discussions on nature-nurture questions. Big influencer here: Edward Thorndike en his ideas on the dominance of genetics in differences of intelligence. Intelligence is inborn, that is what psychology and what the public at large will take away from psychology at the turn of the century. Clifford is quite informative, see her pp. 322 ff. With Thorndike, as with other contemporaneous authors, his writing is a game with words. First supposing nurture to be equal, all differences must be due to genetic differences in innate abilities. That is logic, not empirical science. Nevertheles, the ideology here gets clad in the clothes of science, and is still highly influential in the psychological literature as well as in behavior genetics (e.g. Plomin and others). Today’s insight is, ‘yes, there are genetic differences, they get swamped by environmental circumstances, however’ (Nisbett; Ericsson; Flynn & Dickens). Another way to express the same thing: in environmental dynamics small genetic differences might be multiplied/enlarged. The enlargements, however, are environmental, not genetic. See Flynn 2016 on the complexities of that dynamics.

Crucial developments in American psychology about 1900 result in a lock-in of certain ideas on intelligence as a trait, the heritability of differences in that trait, and the stability of those differences (Thorndike, Pearson, Goddard). What is a lock-in? That is, e.g., the particular layout of the QUERTY keyboard. Those century old ideas get reflected in the six bullets of Hernstein & Murray (1994, p.

Trouwens: ze vinden positieve resultaten van onderwijs, hoe meer onderwijs, des te meer dat opbrengt. Maar dat was te verwachten, toch?

    In 2013 vonden ze de eerste drie plaatsen op het DNA die invloed hebben, bij onderzoek onder ruim 100.000 mensen. Dat was het eerste onderzoek, gepubliceerd in Science, waarbij met betrouwbare methoden sociale kenmerken aan erfelijke eigenschappen werden gekoppeld. In 2016 volgde de vondst van 76 DNA-locaties uit de analyse van de erfelijke informatie van 400.000 mensen. Nu is er de uitbreiding naar 1,1 miljoen mensen.
    Onderzoeker Philipp Koellinger, betrokken bij alle drie de scholingsduuronderzoeken, nu verbonden aan de Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, zei al in 2013 in NRC Handelsblad over die eerste publicatie van drie genen: „Er zijn geen allesbepalende genen.

(...) AVID attempts to maintain a rigorous curriculum for all students while adding increased support for low-achieving students.

    Interessant onderzoek. Het is Amerikaans onderzoek, ik mag aannemen dat het grootste deel van het gevonden effect te maken heeft met kwaliteit van het onderwijs (reden voor ouders die zich dat kunnen permitteren om naar betere districten te verhuizen). (Dronkers: ook in A'dam!) Dat onderzoek naar effect van districten zou dus wel eens een onderzoek naar effect van kwaliteitsverschillen in onderwijs kunnen zijn. Toch? Maakt het dubbel interessant.
