The Evolution of Deficit Thinking: Educational Thought and Practice

Link: http://www.tandfdc.com/Falmer/Falmhome.htm

”Deficit thinking” refers to the notion that students (particularly those of low-income, racial/ethnic minority background) fail in school because such students and their families have internal defects (deficits) that thwart the learning process (for example: limited educability; unmotivated; inadequate family support). Deficit thinking, an endogenous theory, ”blames the victim” rather than examining how the schools are structured to prevent certain students from learning.
