Sociocultural theorists argue that individuals cannot be considered in
isolation from their social and historical context and therefore it is
necessary to look at the society and the developments occurring at a
given time. Two principal agencies, the family and the school powerfully
shape children’s learning experiences. The influence of these two
agencies is constrained by the wider social and cultural systems into
which they are embedded. There is great diversity in cultural
backgrounds, social conditions, family arrangements and school
organization. These two factors have been going through constant
modifications. The relationship between family socio-economic status and
the learning outcomes of students is well established in sociological
research. While there is disagreement over how best to measure social
factors, most studies indicate that students from low social status
families do not perform as well as they potentially could at school
compared to students from socially high background (Graetz, 1995). Most
studies, however, compare students from across all social backgrounds to
reach the conclusion that low social status adversely affects a range
of teaching and learning outcomes.
