General Note "This study examines the links between ethnicity and what we have termed the scholarly habitus, the dispositions to learning which shape successful participation in schooling. It focuses on Year 3 students of Chinese, Pasifika and Anglo Australian backgrounds, and is based on a survey of Year 3 parents, classroom observations and interviews with students, parents and staff in a number of primary schools across Sydney. Against common assumptions about the 'natural' or cultural attributes of different ethnic groups, it explores how home and school practices produce the attributes of learners, how these attributes are embodied as dispositions towards learning, and how these practices are patterned in terms of ethnicity and socio-cultural background." - (p. v).
