“…It was from within this same tradition that the work of Basil Bernstein emerged in the 1950s. His work went further, however, both in challenging Burt's assumptions about cognition and in relating the features of the home environment to educational attainment (see Bernstein, 1958Bernstein, , 1961. Bernstein suggested that the distinctive, sociallyderived modes of cognitive functions (e.g.…”

In recent influential work in language and social cognition relevant to pedagogical contexts, references to Basil Bernstein's work are notably absent, despite renewed recognition of the significance of his continued contribution to theories of classroom practices, sociolinguistics and the sociology of education. This article discusses several historical and ideological factors that have contributed to this lacuna. It reconsiders the organisation of the intellectual field of English education in Britain during the 1970s within which Bernstein's theorising about language took place. Within that field, it pays particular attention to the divergent readings of Vygotsky by James Britton and Bernstein with respect to power and the discursive regulation of 'legitimate' meanings in the pedagogic context. Finally, it considers the relevance in the post-Vygotskian field of social cognition of Bernstein's early attention to the relationship between social/institutional factors and individual functioning.

“…Many see the difference as a mainstream emphasis on competition and a sidestream preference for co-operation (Knight & Kagan, 1977;Kagan & Knight, 1979;Buenning & Tollefson, 1987;Castañeda, 1984;Vásquez, 1979Vásquez, , 1988. Others see the distinction as relational vs. analytical (Bernstein, 1968;Cohen, 1969) where mainstream children and the schools emphasize the analytic style with a focus on the structure of the object rather than the content. This apparently leads to an ability to respond objectively rather than emotionally and to be able to set long term goals, a valued asset in the schools where the purpose of assignments may not be immediately obvious.…”

The achievement gap of Mexican Americans in the US has been attributed to a variety of factors, among them language, learning styles, and socio-economic status. In this paper, after looking at the question of linguistic allegiance and the debate which arose in the area of bilingual education between the government which favoured transition to English and those who preferred language maintenance programmes, the role of the schools and the question of learning styles will be discussed. It will be seen that the achievement gap of Mexican Americans and other groups in the US is essentially a question of economics and that the solution lies in greater access to the wider society.
