Abstract
The authors review evidence and suggest future directions for research on the learning patterns of disadvantaged children. After a detailed description of a specific case of research, some implications for educational policy are discussed. The authors take issue with James S. Coleman's definition of the concept of "equal educational opportunity"and advance an alternative definition. The problem of achieving a useful definition of the term "disadvantaged"is addressed throughout the paper.Keywords
