我使用的早期儿童纵向研究的数据，以检查小学生参与课外活动的数量和类型，并发现参与模式的性别，种族和阶级的显着差异。学生在幼儿园和一年级期间参加的活动的数量影响他们在一年级和三年级之间的阅读成绩测试成绩的提高以及三年级教师对数学技能的评价，但不影响数学成绩测试成绩的提高或教师对语言艺术技能的评价。舞蹈课，体育活动，艺术课，特别是影响一个或多个因变量。除了一个例外，课外活动与社会经济地位的相互作用表明，较不富裕的儿童比较富裕的儿童从参与活动中受益更多，这为布迪厄的文化资本和社会再生产理论提供了证据。
I use data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study to examine both the number and the types of extracurricular activities in which elementary school students participate and find significant differences in participation patterns by gender, race, and class. The number of activities in which students participate during kindergarten and first grade affects their gains in reading achievement test scores between first and third grade and third grade teachers' evaluations of mathematics skills, but does not affect gains in math achievement test scores or teachers' e valuations of language arts skills. Dance lessons, athletic activities, and art lessons, in particular, affect one or more of the dependent variables. With one exception, interactions of extracurricular activities with socioeconomic status show that less-privileged children benefit more from participation in activities than do more-privileged children, providing evidence against Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital and social reproduction.
