Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Xheng's view is specifically related to the practice of grouping students according to their perceived academic ability, which is known as tracking or ability grouping. Sociological studies of tracking and "within school effects" focus on this issue and examine the ways in which tracking can lead to unequal educational opportunities and outcomes for students. Kozol's Savage Inequalities and Coleman's studies on "between school effects" are related to issues of educational inequality but do not specifically address tracking. Collins's studies on credentialism are focused on the ways in which education and credentials are used to confer social status and access to economic opportunities, and do not address tracking in schools.
