'There Was Never Really Any Question of Anything Else': Young People's Agency, Institutional Habitus and the Transition to Higher Education

'There Was Never Really Any Question of Anything Else': Young People's Agency, Institutional Habitus and the Transition to Higher Education
(2012)
Smyth, Emer; Banks, Joanne
Abstract:
International research into educational decision-making has been extensive, focusing on the way in which young people and their families assess the different options open to them. However, to what extent can we assume that different groups of young people have equal access to the information needed to make such an assessment? And what role, if any, do schools play in this process? Using in-depth qualitative interviews from two schools with very different student intakes, this paper examines the key influences which shape young people?s choices. Decisions about whether to go on to higher education are found to reflect three sets of processes: individual habitus; the institutional habitus of the school, as reflected in the amount and type of guidance provided; and young people?s own agency, namely, the conscious process whereby students seek out information on different options and evaluate these alternatives.

Education of children in care in Ireland: An exploratory study
(2013)
Darmody, Merike; McMahon, Lean; Banks, Joanne; Gilligan, Robbie
Abstract:
Research from the English-speaking world consistently shows that children1 leaving the care of the State2 tend to have lower levels of educational attainment and higher rates of unemployment and social disadvantage than other young people. Recent research has argued that difficulties in schooling and education experienced by children living in care lie ‘far more in the care and education systems than in the children themselves’ (Jackson and McParlin, 2006: 91). Approximately 6,000 children are currently in the care of the State in Ireland, but little is known about their educational experiences and outcomes. This report presents the results of an exploratory study on education for children in care in Ireland. The overarching aim of this study is to identify how the Irish education system can best support attendance, participation and attainment in education by children in care. In addressing this aim, the study addresses the following three research questions: 1. Does a care backgro...

Engaging Young People? Student Experiences of the Leaving Certificate Applied

Engaging Young People? Student Experiences of the Leaving Certificate Applied
(2010)
Mc Coy, Selina; Smyth, Emer; Banks, Joanne
Abstract:
Whether to have a comprehensive schooling system or to provide different tracks or curricular programmes has been a central focus of international policy debates on second-level education. The Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA) was introduced in 1995 as an alternative to the established Leaving Certificate and was designed as a distinct self-contained pre-vocational programme for senior cycle students. Its fundamental goal is to prepare students for the transition from the world of education to that of adult and working life (DES/NCCA, 2004), including further education (DES, z1995). Little is known about the process of curriculum differentiation in an Irish setting and in particular the characteristics of young people who opt for the LCA programme. This study provides a unique opportunity to examine student experiences prior to entering the LCA, their curriculum and learning experiences during the programme, and their post-school outcomes. Adopting a mixed methods approach, this stu...

From Leaving Certificate to Leaving School: A Longitudinal Study of Sixth Year Students
(2011)

From Leaving Certificate to Leaving School: A Longitudinal Study of Sixth Year Students
(2011)
Smyth, Emer; Banks, Joanne
Abstract:
Current debates about senior cycle education in Ireland have raised a number of crucial questions: What effect does the Leaving Certificate exam have on young people?s learning experiences? What helps students to do well in the Leaving Certificate exam? How do young people make decisions about their future life after school? What kinds of skills and competencies do young people develop in the course of their second-level education? This book provides an important evidence base for answering these and other questions by examining the experiences of young people in sixth year as they prepare for the Leaving Certificate exam and life after school. It is the latest book in a series of publications stemming from the Post-Primary Longitudinal Study, which has fol- lowed a cohort of over 900 students in twelve case-study schools, selected to capture key dimensions of school policy and practice. This is the first such longitudinal study in the Irish context and it yields rich in- sights int...

Further Education and Training in Ireland: Past, Present and Future
(2014)
Mc Coy, Selina; Smyth, Emer; Banks, Joanne
Abstract:
The establishment of An Seirbh?s Oideachais Lean?naigh agus Scileanna (SOLAS) has prompted an assessment of the nature of current further education and training (FET) and an exploration of future directions. This report provides an evidence base for the purposes of assisting SOLAS in the development of a five-year action plan for the Irish FET sector and an associated strategy implementation plan. This research attempts to map provision across the FET sector in order to identify the main issues facing the FET sector. The full extent of FET provision in the State is very broad ranging and includes many actors in addition to the major providers, the former VECs and F?S. 2 The research draws on (a) a desk-based study drawing together available data from a wide range of sources (b) evidence from semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and (c) a series of reports commissioned from a number of international experts describing FET provision in their home countries under a number o...

High Stakes Testing and Student Perspectives on Teaching and Learning in the Republic of Ireland
(2012)
Smyth, Emer; Banks, Joanne
Abstract:
There is now a well developed literature on the impact of high stakes testing on teaching approaches and student outcomes. However, the student perspective has been neglected in much research. This article draws on a mixed method longitudinal study of secondary students in the Republic of Ireland to explore the impact of two sets of high stakes examinations on student experiences. The analyses are based on surveys completed by 897 lower secondary students and 748 upper secondary students, along with 47 lower secondary and 53 upper secondary group interviews with students. Findings show the presence of impending high stakes exams results in increased workload for students, with many reporting pressure and stress. Throughout their schooling career, students clearly favour active learning approaches. However, for some students, particularly high-aspiring middle-class students, these views change as they approach the terminal high stakes exam, with many showing a strong preference for a...

Post-school Transitions for Students with Intellectual Disabilities in the Republic of Ireland
(2021)
Aston, Desmond; Banks, Joanne; Shevlin, Michael
Abstract:
It?s well established that people with intellectual disabilities (ID) are more likely to be unemployed; more dependent on social welfare; with an increased risk of living in poverty. A shift in policy at a national and international level has meant a significant increase of students with ID are attending mainstream secondary education in Ireland, though few successfully transition to further/higher education or employment. This study aims to gain an insight into the typical transition support/guidance provided to students with ID as they prepare to complete their post-primary education in a mainstream setting. This mixed-methods study employed a sequential design. Results of a national survey of secondary school Principals were used to identify individual cases for nine qualitative interviews with school faculty. Individual analyses were merged for the purpose of triangulation. There was strong evidence that transition planning for these students is carried out by the Special Educa...

Pregnancy and employment: a literature review
(2011)
Russell, Helen; Banks, Joanne
Abstract:
This literature review forms part of a major new research study on women’s experiences in the workplace during and after pregnancy, commissioned by the HSE Crisis Pregnancy Programme and the Equality Authority. In addition to this review the research involved a study of pregnancy discrimination cases in the Equality Tribunal and Labour Court, 1999 – 2008 (Banks & Russell, 2011) and a nationwide survey of 2,300 working mothers (Russell, Watson, Banks, forthcoming). The broad objective of the research project was to investigate the influence of pregnancy and childbirth on women’s employment experiences, including an assessment of pregnancy-related discrimination in Ireland, and how these experiences are shaped by organisational factors and women’s attitudes and characteristics. While there is a very substantial literature on the impact of childbearing on women’s employment careers and on the transitions back into work, these studies focus on the period after childbirth and rarely ...

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to fill the gap in knowledge around women’s experiences in paid work in Ireland during pregnancy and after childbirth using data from the first nationally representative survey of mothers. The survey was conducted in the autumn of 2009 and involved mothers who had given birth between July 2007 and June 2009. The six main objectives of the study are: • To investigate women’s experiences of pregnancy at work with a view to assessing levels of pregnancy-related discrimination in Ireland. • To shed light on the job and organisational factors that influence the likelihood of unfair treatment of women during pregnancy, in order to identify the organisational practices that minimise unfair treatment and to assist in the development and targeting of supports and policy interventions. • To examine the impact of experiences at work during pregnancy on crisis pregnancy (experiencing the pregnancy as emotionally traumatic or a personal crisis). • To assess the take-up o...

Abstract:
The experience of being in employment while pregnant or returning to work after having a child is not well researched in Ireland or indeed internationally. This report forms part of a major new research study on women’s experiences in the workplace during and after pregnancy commissioned by the HSE Crisis Pregnancy Programme and the Equality Authority. In addition to this report, the research involved a literature review examining a range of literature on pregnancy at work (Russell & Banks, 2011) and a nationwide survey of 2,300 women who gave birth between July 2007 and June 2009 (Russell, Watson, Banks, forthcoming). The broad objective of the research was to investigate the influence of pregnancy and childbirth on women’s employment experiences, including an assessment of pregnancy-related discrimination in Ireland, and how these experiences are shaped by organisational factors and women’s attitudes and characteristics.

Abstract:
This report provides baseline estimates and projections of public and private healthcare demand for Irish health and social care services for the years 2015–2030. This is the first report to be published applying the Hippocrates projection model of Irish healthcare demand and expenditure which has been developed at the ESRI in a programme of research funded by the Department of Health. Development of the model has required a very detailed analysis of the services used in Irish health and social care in 2015. This is the most comprehensive mapping of both public and private activity in the Irish healthcare system to have been published for Ireland.

Abstract:
The Droichead pilot programme, which began in 2013, is designed to provide whole-school support for teacher induction in both primary and post-primary schools. The programme is innovative in a number of respects. It is led at school level by a Professional Support Team (PST) consisting of the principal, mentor(s) and other member(s), who have received training provided by the National Induction Programme for Teachers (NIPT) in relation to their roles and responsibilities. Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) in Droichead schools have support from a mentor and other members of the PST in the identification of their professional learning needs and in planning opportunities to address these needs. NQTs have the opportunity to observe and be observed by other teachers, and receive feedback on their teaching. NQTs also compile a learning portfolio which supports their learning and records their reflections on their learning. At the end of the process, the PST may make a recommendation to the ...

Too much of a good thing? Gender, 'Concerted cultivation' and unequal achievement in primary education
(2010)
Banks, Joanne; Mc Coy, Selina
Abstract:
It is well established that cultural and economic resources imparted to children vary significantly by social class. Literature on concerted cultivation has highlighted the extent to which out-of-school activities can reproduce social inequalities in the classroom. Within this literature however, little attention has been given to the role of gender in concerted cultivation. In this paper, we use data from the first wave of the Growing Up in Ireland longitudinal study to consider how both social class and gender influence the level and type of out-of-school activities in which children engage. Moreover, we examine how out-of-school activities, class and gender impact on children?s school engagement and academic achievement. We find that while childrearing logics tend to operate within social class categories, there is an additional cultural aspect of gender in the uptake of different types of out-of-school activities. Our findings suggest the need to move beyond explanations of conc...
