Achievement and Ethnicity: Environmental Deprivation or Cultural Difference.

Harker, R. K.

New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, v13 n2 p107-24 Nov 1978

A study of two separate models which implicitly explain the underachievement of Maori pupils indicates that there is a generalized (or generalizing) factor affecting the performance of Maori children as a whole despite environmental differences. These environmental differences have a relatively strong effect on Pakeha children. (Author/EB)
