The Organizational Context of Learning
This article advances the effort to understand organisational effects on the acquisition of knowledge by clarifying and elaborating the concept of the opportunity to learn and by introducing a theoritical framework oriented by the actions within the technical core of schools. The opportunity to learn is conceived of as having two major dimensions : the amount of exposure, which includes enrollment, rate and length, and the quality of exposure, wh…
The Organizational Context of Tracking in Schools
The study of tracking patterns in secondary schools is central to understanding the educational attainment process. In this paper I offer a conceptualframeworkfor evaluating school tracking patterns as meritocratic, arbitrary, exclusive, or inclusive. Tracking patterns are hypothesized to emerge under different organizational contingencies. In particular, the type of structural constraints, the informationflow within the school, and the cultural …

Schooling Effects
I am in error. Alexander and Pallas do consider the objective of both their analysis and mine to be the evaluation of the relative of Catholic sector secondary education to the overall achievement level of secondary school students in the United States. In my earlier comments (Kilgore, 1983), I assumed we agreed that such was not the objective. However, agreement clearly does not exist. In my previous response to their work, I submit that contrib…

Cognitive Outcomes in Public and Private Schools
Three types of analysis are carried out in this paper and provide strong evidence that there is, in vocabulary and mathematics, higher achievement for comparable students in Catholic and other-private schools than in public; the results are less consistent in reading. The last portion of the analysis shows the elements of school policy that can account for these differences-account for them by showing that achievement is just as high in the publi…
