Long-term relations among perceived discrimination, self-esteem, and academic self-concept in adolescents with an immigrant background
Many adolescents with an immigration background report experiencing discrimination in their everyday lives, which can hinder their positive development. To better understand the impact of discrimination, this study investigates the associations between two types of perceived discrimination (personal and group) and the development of self-esteem and academic self-concept among students with an immigrant background in upper secondary schools in Ger…
The development of students’ school enjoyment in lower secondary school and its effect on academic achievement
Recent research has highlighted the crucial role of affective-emotional factors in children’s and young people’s learning success. This study investigates the development of school enjoyment and its influence on academic achievement, focusing on gender differences. In stratified education systems, school transitions present a developmental challenge, requiring students to adapt to new school cultures and increased academic demands. This study foc…
Error climate and alienation from teachers
BackgroundDealing with errors in the classroom is a crucial aspect of instructional quality and has multiple consequences for students' own dealing with errors, their learning and their achievement. The available literature on error climate indicates a paucity of research on the effects of perceived error climate on social aspects such as student-teacher relationships.AimsThe aim of this longitudinal study was to examine the relationship between …
Students' Academic Habitus and Its Relation to Family Capital
Habitus plays a crucial part in Bourdieu's theory of sociocultural reproduction for understanding the persistence of inequalities in the education system. According to Bourdieu, students from homes that are heavily equipped with cultural capital develop a specific kind of habitus, that is, modes of perceiving, thinking, and acting, remarkably well-adjusted to the expectations of teachers and educational institutions. However, research has rarely …
School Alienation Among Adolescents in Switzerland and Luxembourg
Prior research has shown that socialization agents such as parents, peers, and teachers can play a significant role in adolescents' educational outcomes, both through direct support or indirectly via supportive attitudes that foster students' bonding to school and academic motivation. However, less is known about the effects of parent and peer supportive attitudes and teacher autonomy support on unfavorable educational outcomes such as school ali…
The Role of Teaching Styles in the Development of School Alienation and Behavioral Consequences
This mixed-method research study aims at an analysis of the role of teaching styles in the development of school alienation and behavioral consequences. Applying an in-depth design, this study combines a quantitative panel study, a student survey (grades 5-6), and qualitative focus groups with Luxembourgish primary school students (grade 6). Methodologically, we aim to demonstrate potentials and limits of integrating quantitative and qualitative …
Changes in school alienation profiles among secondary school students and the role of teaching style
What students think about school has a major impact on learning and academic achievement. The multi-domain concept of school alienation distinguishes between alienation from learning, from teachers and from classmates. We aim to study a) alienation patterns among secondary school students, b) how school alienation profiles change from year 7 to year 9 and how secondary school students transition between profiles, and c) the role of teaching style…
Analyzing Drawings to Explore children’s Concepts of an Ideal School
Applying social production function theory to benefits of schooling
Many approaches to explaining educational inequalities relate explicitly and implicitly to benefits of education, and rational choice theories in particular consider monetary benefits. We specify a concept of the value of education that allows for an empirical analysis of educational benefits, considering both monetary and non-monetary dimensions (instrumental goals) outlined in social production function theory. Our objectives include introducin…
Do students’ language backgrounds explain achievement differences in the Luxembourgish education system
What is the role of students’ language background in school success within the multilingual and highly stratified education system in Luxembourg? Considering achievement differences in terms of the primary effects of social and ethnic origin, we assume that students of a disadvantaged social origin (e.g. working class), with an immigrant background, who speak languages at home other than Luxembourg’s official languages show lower school achieveme…
