  • Educational inequalities in Europe

    Open AccessDiego G Campos, Antti Koskinen et al.ARTICLEStudies In Educational Evaluation2025

    Educational inequalities are a critical challenge. Understanding how these disparities emerge, evolve, and can be addressed requires longitudinal evidence. However, most existing research syntheses rely on cross-sectional data. In this scoping review, we map longitudinal research on educational inequalities among K–12 students in Europe. Drawing on 161 studies published between 1986 and 2024, we examined how disparities related to socioeconomic s…

This paper argues that a potential reason for this might be the severely underrepresented constru…

    Cet article propose une vue structurée de l’ensemble des perspectives de recherches primaires et secondaires en lien avec les études internationales de grande ampleur (PISA et TIMSS). Le but de ces études est tout d’abord examiné avant de décrire de quelle manière leur objectif principal a peu à peu évolué de la recherche en éducation à la constitution de ressources d’indicateurs pédagogiques de contrôle et de développement des politiques nationa…
