Social Inequalities in Study Trajectories
Social origin affects not only access to higher education but also how students proceed through higher education. Based on the argument that an advantageous family background facilitates linear study trajectories through parents' provision of cultural and economic resources, this article investigates study trajectories in Germany and the United States, assessing the institutional structures as an intermediating factor. We reconstruct study trajec…
Not only enrollment and retention
While there is an existing scholarly debate on whether less research-oriented universities disrupt or enable higher education success, we know less about students’ actual study patterns beyond static indicators, such as completion or dropout. To address this gap, this article analyzes the study trajectories of bachelor’s students at German universities and Universities of Applied Sciences (UASs). As a methodological contribution, study trajectori…
Social Origin and Students' Trajectory Patterns at German Universities. A Sequence-Analytical Approach
While the relationship between the transition to higher education and social origin has been widely investigated, much less is known about study trajectories, that is, the study patterns between enrolment and graduation (or terminal dropout). This paper fills this gap by responding to the question: 'How do students of different social origin progress through their bachelor's studies at German univer- sities?' Based on explanations of how academic…
Foam Splint versus Spica Cast—Early Mobilization after Hip Reconstructive Surgery in Children—Preliminary Data from a Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial
Recent retrospective studies suggest that foam splint immobilization after hip reconstruction surgery is a safe and feasible method, promising fewer complications compared to spica casting. The preliminary results of this prospective randomized clinical trial show an improvement of the scores when using a foam splint compared to the conventionally used spica cast. Benefits for the patients may be fewer adverse events and no need to undergo a seco…
Short Term Radiological Outcome of Combined Femoral and Ilium Osteotomy in Pelvic Reconstruction of the Child
Background and Objectives: Reconstruction of the pelvic joint is a common way to address developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), as well as neurogenic dislocation of the hip (NDH) and Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease (LCPD) in children. The purpose of this study was to analyze the short-term radiologic outcome after hip reconstructive surgery either treated with sole osteotomy of the femur or in combination with iliac osteotomy in patients with DDH, …
Ahead of the pack? Explaining the unequal distribution of scholarships in Germany
This article investigates to what extent scholarships are unequally distributed among students in Germany and how these inequalities can be explained. Following sociological theory, the article argues that elites seek qualitative ways of distinguishing themselves in a mass higher education system. Using student surveys, we demonstrate that class effects cannot merely be explained with reference to class differences in academic achievement but tha…
Young People’s Everyday Literacies
In this article, we examine writing in the context of new communication technologies as a kindof everyday literacy. Using an inductive approach developed from grounded theory, we analyzeda 32,000-word corpus of college students’ Instant Messaging (IM) exchanges. Through our analysis of this corpus, we identify a fifteen-item taxonomy of IM language features and frequency patterns which provide a detailed, data-rich picture of writers working with…
Literacy and Racial Justice
In anticipation of the fiftieth anniversary of the landmark Brown of Education decision, Catherine Prendergast draws on a combination of insights from legal studies literacy studies to interrogate contemporary multicultural literacy initiatives, thus providing a sound historical basis that informs current debates over affirmative action, school vouchers, reparations, high-stakes standardized testing.As a result of Brown and subsequent crucial civ…
Does the Medium Make a Difference? Two Studies of Writing With Pen and Paper and With Computers
This article reports two studies examining how the use of computer technology affects writers' processes and resulting written products. The first experiment, a partial replication of Gould's (1981) study, compared the efficiency and quality of 15 experienced writers' persuasive letters written in three counterbalanced conditions: pen and paper, standard personal computer, and advanced workstation. Analyses of time to compose and length of the re…
