Social Class, Environments, and Adolescents' Aspirations.
Marjoribanks, Keven
Educational Studies, v9 n3 p135-43 1983
In a study of over 500 16-year-old Australian students from different social classes, differences in educational and occupational aspirations were found to be related most strongly to students' perceptions of their family learning environments. Social class differences were also noted; students' perceptions of school environments were least important. (Author/IS)
