deficit-based education theory  

Definición

  • As explained by Richard Valencia, deficit-based thinking (or deficit-based pedagogy) offers a theoretical basis to account for the individual, cultural, ethnic, language, and social conditions perceived to be responsible for low academic performance in African American, Native American, Latino, Appalachian, and other underprivileged children. According to this deficit-based view, when individual students from cultural, racial, and ethnic-minority backgrounds enter school, they lack the self-determination, genuine interest, and knowledge-building skills to achieve academic success.
