Roma people voices and educational experiences in Greece
Social and Individual Factors Predicting Students’ Resilience
We investigated students’ resilience predictors during the COVID-19 pandemic. With a two-wave longitudinal sample (n = 713) of students from Greece, Germany, and Switzerland (eighth grade in autumn 2020 and ninth grade in autumn 2021), we determined which social and individual predictors longitudinally predicted resilience before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. We identified the high likelihood of individual factors (self-esteem, self-efficacy)…
Minority and Majority Adolescents’ Attitudes toward Mutual Acculturation and its Association with Psychological Adjustment
Although acculturation is considered a mutual process, no measure assesses attitudes toward mutual acculturation. Through a novel four-dimensional measurement, this study addresses this research gap by assessing attitudes toward minority and majority acculturation and its relation to psychological adjustment for immigrant-background minority and non-immigrant majority adolescents in public secondary schools in three European countries: in Germany…
Recognitive Justice and Educational Inequalities
Adopting the theoretical approach of recognitive justice and the degree of students’ recognitive experiences regarding empathy, respect, and social esteem, the present study focused on educational inequalities in the multicultural school and the factors that affect their appearance and reproduction. We examined the existence of social relations’ differences in a sample of 1303 students from 69 secondary schools in Greece, using a questionnaire co…
Identification and comparison of school well-being patterns of migrant and native lower secondary-school students in Greece and Switzerland
Questionnaire data from a cross-sectional study of two samples on adolescents of 814 lower secondary school students (M_age = 12.47) from Greece (n = 439) and Switzerland (n = 375) were used to identify and compare school well-being patterns of migrant and native students by multigroup latent profile analyses (LPA). The aim of this paper, by applying LPA as a typological approach, is to delve empirically into the question whether migrant and nati…
Neoliberalism and Pedagogical Practices of Alienation
In this article, we present insights from an ethnographic research that investigated the concept of citizenship in primary schools in Greece. We explored children’s experiences of citizenship in school approaching citizenship as a set of habits that prescribe what is considered ‘legitimate’ in the public sphere. We focused on structures and agents inside and outside the school classroom and the way they may interfere with pedagogical practices an…
Teachers’ views about pupil diversity in the primary school classroom
The present study explores Greek primary school teachers’ perceptions and views on pupil diversity in the classroom environment. A large-scale survey was carried out in order to examine teachers’ perceptions about pupil diversity and to identify personal and/or educational characteristics that can influence or predict these perceptions. The outcomes of the study reveal that Greek primary school teachers view diversity as a challenge more than as …
Democratic Governance for Inclusion
The focus of this paper is how changes in school governance in one state primary school in a city in central Greece have resulted in a significant degree of inclusion for Roma children. This inclusivity runs counter to the disturbing occurrence of the social and ethnic segregation of a group of locally resident Roma children within schools. This paper reports from a case study that took place in one primary school with a large number of Roma pupi…
School Acculturation in Greek Primary Schools
This study focuses on the examination of possible differences between immigrant and native students regarding peer acceptance, self-esteem, school anxiety, interest in school, and academic performance, which are considered to be indicators of school acculturation. The outcomes of the study reveal that there are differences between immigrant and native students in terms of academic performance, peer acceptance, self-esteem, and school anxiety
The subtle–blatant distinction of ethnic prejudice among ethnic majority chidren
Research on ethnic prejudice among children is important for contemporary multicultural schools seeking to enhance communication among students from different ethnic groups and provide effective intercultural education. Current scientific discourse points to the appearance of new implicit forms of prejudice, witnessed in modern multicultural societies, while traditional explicit prejudice tends to decline. However, empirical studies concerning th…
