Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Pedagogy - Pedagogic Sociology, University of South Wales, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the hegemonic impact of poverty on educational outcomes. It encompassed desktop research and utilized a document analysis, and methodology to assess the data for the study. The study analyzed insight-simulating, empirical data. Therefore, this study examined conceptual and empirical evidence in contemporary literature. The secondary data gathered was compared and analyzed to derive conclusions regarding the hegemonic impact of poverty on academic attainment. The first research question explored the impact of poverty on academic outcomes. The scholarly works examined revealed inconsistent perspectives among scholars. Three theories emerged from the data: 1) Poverty harms pedagogy; 2) Poverty has a positive impact on educational attainment, and 3) Poverty has no definitive impact on pupils' academic outcomes. The second research question investigated the impact of poverty on psychological and motivational dispositions. The empirical studies explored demonstrated a positive correlation between poverty and low psychological and motivational inclinations in educational attainment. The third research question investigated the effect of poverty on intelligence levels. The studies explored suggested a connection between poverty and decreased levels of intelligence; though this impact may vary depending on where one lives.
