Abstract (english): 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 alienation. This study investigated the role of socialization agents in the development of school alienation among 544 secondary school students in Switzerland and 535 secondary school students in Luxembourg in grades 7 to 9. Results of structural equation modeling showed that the role of socialization agents varies across the school alienation domains and educational contexts, with peers having the most substantial impact on all three domains of alienation in both countries.

Abstract: In recent studies, the existence and relevance of achievement composition effects on students' individual achievement have been called into question because of the methodological challenges arising in multilevel analyses. Our study examined how class-average achievement is related to students' achievement development across one school year. We used data from Germany, which has a secondary school system with large achievement differences between schools and classrooms due to rigid, explicit between-school tracking practices. We accounted for two methodological challenges, controlling for both selection bias and measurement error. Adopting an approach based on integrative data analysis (IDA), we systematically (re)analyzed five German longitudinal large-scale data sets. This IDA approach allowed us to quantify the extent to which results vary across (a) different longitudinal data sets and (b) different analytical strategies (i.e., ways of accounting for confounding variables and measurement reliability). Overall, we found both general achievement composition effects and narrower peer spillover effects (i.e., effects of student composition above and beyond the effects of tracking) in the German setting, even after controlling for measurement error and selection bias. Our results counter recent suggestions that composition effects on achievement development may be mere phantom effects due to methodological misspecifications. However, estimates of composition effects varied substantially based on the analytical approach. We conclude with considerations regarding how to interpret composition effects in multilevel modeling and which effects are of interest for educational research. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: This article reports a study that investigated secondary school students' higher education aspirations (towards university studies, ISCED 6 and above) and how these differ between student groups as well as how these are impacted by values of education. Panel data of more than 300 secondary school students in two countries, Luxembourg and Switzerland (the Swiss Canton of Bern) was analysed. Schools are structured differently in the education systems of Luxembourg and the Swiss Canton of Bern. The results of our analysis show that students in the Luxembourgish sample more often aspire to higher education than in the Swiss sample. Disparities in higher education aspirations were also more pronounced in the Luxembourgish sample, boys and students from families of low socio-economic status (SES) were less likely to aspire to higher education. While the effects of values of education are generally scarce, stimulation in terms of anticipated enjoyment and interest derived from participation in higher education seems to have a positive effect on higher education aspirations.

Abstract: Teachers' accuracy in judging students' achievement is often assumed to be a general ability of teachers. Based on this assumption, teachers should be at least consistent in their accuracy across different content domains within a school subject. Yet, this assumption has rarely been investigated empirically so far. Data from 54 mathematics teachers (N = 1170 students) and 55 language teachers (N = 1255 students) were analysed using a Bayesian multivariate multilevel modelling approach. Results indicate that latent accuracy measures across content domains indeed are substantially correlated within both investigated subjects, but may still be considered to represent different dimensions.

Abstract: Übergänge im Bildungssystem sind zentral für die Entstehung von sozialer Ungleichheit. Die bestehende Befundlage verweist dabei auf abnehmende Herkunftseffekte vom Übergang ins Gymnasium zum Übergang ins Studium sowie auf eine abnehmende Bedeutung primärer Herkunftseffekte (leistungsbezogener Herkunftseffekte) an den beiden Übergangsschwellen. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht daher auf Grundlage der Längsschnittstudie BIJU, wie sich soziale Herkunftseffekte im nachschulischen Bildungsverlauf vom Übergang ins Studium zum Übergang in die Promotion entwickeln und welchen Anteil primäre Herkunftseffekte an den Übergangsschwellen ins Studium und in die Promotion ausmachen. Mit Hilfe einer Effektdekomposition wird der Erklärungsanteil herkunftsspezifischer Leistungsunterschiede (Schul- und Studienabschlussnoten sowie Testleistungen) ermittelt. Um die kumulierten Herkunftseffekte im nachschulischen Bildungsverlauf zu betrachten, werden die Analysen zum Promotionsübergang neben der selektiven Stichprobe der Hochschulabsolventinnen und -absolventen auch auf die Ausgangsstichprobe der Hochschulzugangsberechtigen bezogen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass an beiden Übergängen Effekte der Bildungsherkunft bestehen und diese vom Übergang ins Studium zum Übergang in die Promotion abnehmen, wobei der Ungleichheitseffekt insgesamt sich kumuliert. Die Bedeutung von herkunftsspezifischen Leistungsunterschieden nimmt relativ gesehen über beide Übergänge zu, absolut gesehen jedoch ab. (DIPF/Orig.)
Abstract (english): Transitions in the educational system are highly important for the emergence of social inequality. Research points at a decrease in social background effects from the transition to secondary education to the transition to tertiary studies as well as to a decrease in the relevance of primary effects (performance-based social background effects) across the two transitions. Based on the longitudinal study BIJU, this study examines the development of the effect of educational background over post-school educational pathways focusing on the transition to tertiary as well as to doctoral studies and investigates which proportion of the social background effect can be traced back to primary effects. By conducting an effect decomposition, the proportion of the social background effect traceable to performance differences is calculated. To analyse the cumulative effect of social background in higher education, the analysis for the transition to doctoral studies was performed using the whole sample of persons with a higher education entrance qualification next to only using the selective sample of graduates with a tertiary degree. The results indicate that an effect of educational background exists at both transition points. This effect is decreasing across the two transitions, however, the inequality is cumulative overall. The relevance of performance differences increases in a relative perspective, however, decreases in an absolute perspective. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: This study extends the classic constructive dialogue/debate between self-concept and self-efficacy researchers (Marsh, Roche, Pajares, & Miller, 1997) regarding the distinctions between these 2 constructs. The study is a substantive-methodological synergy, bringing together new substantive, theoretical, and statistical models and developing new tests of the classic jingle-jangle fallacy. We demonstrate that in a representative sample of 3,350 students from math classes in 43 German schools, generalized math self-efficacy and math outcome expectancies were indistinguishable from math self-concept, but were distinct from test-related and functional measures of self-efficacy. This is consistent with the jingle-jangle fallacies that are proposed. On the basis of pretest variables, we demonstrate negative frame-of-reference effects in social (big-fish-little-pond effect) and dimensional (internal/external frame-of-reference effect) comparisons for three self-concept-like constructs in each of the first 4 years of secondary school. In contrast, none of the frame-of-reference effects were significantly negative for either of the two self-efficacy-like constructs in any of the 4 years of testing. After controlling for pretest variables, each of the 3 self-concept-like constructs (math self-concept, outcome expectancy, and generalized math self-efficacy) in each of the 4 years of secondary school was more strongly related to posttest outcomes (school grades, test scores, future aspirations) than were the corresponding 2 self-efficacy-like factors. Extending discussion by Marsh et al. (1997), we clarify distinctions between self-efficacy and self-concept; the role of evaluation, worthiness, and outcome expectancy in self-efficacy measures; and complications in generalized and global measures of self-efficacy.

Abstract: 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 introducing a sound theoretical framework, the validation of an empirical measurement instrument and an analysis of the differences between certain dimensions of educational values structured by social origin, gender and immigrant background. Analyses are based on a two-wave panel study (SASAL-School Alienation in Switzerland and Luxembourg) carried out in secondary schools in Luxembourg and Switzerland. We distinguish four dimensions within the concept of values of education: stimulation, comfort/status, behavioural confirmation and affection. The different dimensions of the value of education are influenced by gender and immigrant backgrounds in both national settings. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract (english): Objective: Although a growing body of research has confirmed the manifold advantages of being an optimist, only a limited body of previous research has addressed the antecedents of optimism in real‐life situations. This study examined whether parental socioeconomic status (SES), age‐salient experiences (i.e., doing well in school and perceiving acceptance from peers), and aspects of the student composition at school contribute to changes in the optimism of early adolescents. Method: We followed a large sample of German seventh graders (N = 7,272; 2.9% females; baseline Mage = 14.1) at two measurement points over a period of 5 months and estimated latent regression models. Results: First, optimism showed medium‐sized rank‐order stability between both measurement points. Second, parental SES predicted changes in optimism, but this effect was fully mediated by age‐salient experiences. Third, positive age‐salient experiences (i.e., academic achievement and perceived peer acceptance) predicted positive changes in early adolescents' optimism. Fourth, our results suggested no effects of school peer composition. Conclusions: The findings broaden our current knowledge about antecedents of changes in optimism during early adolescence by highlighting the effects of positive age‐salient experiences, namely, academic achievement and perceived acceptance from peers.

Abstract: Der Fokus des Beitrags liegt auf dem Wechsel vom Gymnasium auf eine Integrierte Sekundarschule (ISS) nach der 7. Klasse (Probejahr) in Berlin. Es wurde untersucht, welche leistungsbezogenen, schulbiografischen und familiären Hintergrundmerkmale prädiktiv für das Nichtbestehen des Probejahres sind. Von Interesse war dabei insbesondere, ob beim Schulformwechsel als nachträglicher Selektion auch nach Berücksichtigung von Leistungsmerkmalen sekundäre Herkunftseffekte wirken. Die Untersuchung basiert auf Daten einer Studie, innerhalb der die Schulformwechslerpopulation (N = 754) eines Jahrganges betrachtet und den nicht gewechselten Gymnasiasten (N = 1470) gegenübergestellt wurde. Zur Vorhersage des Schulformwechsels wurden multivariate logistische Regressionsanalysen durchgeführt. Die Analysen ergaben signifikante Unterschiede zwischen beiden Gruppen in allen untersuchten Merkmalen. Die Vorhersage des Schulformwechsels zeigte, dass insbesondere leistungsbezogene Indikatoren prädiktiv waren. Nach Kontrolle der Leistungsmerkmale der 7. Klasse waren keine statistisch signifikanten Effekte der übrigen Prädiktoren und somit auch keine sekundären Effekte der sozialen Herkunft nachweisbar. (DIPF/Orig.)
Abstract (english): This study focuses on students who change from the academic to the non-academic school track after grade 7 (probationary year) in Berlin. We examined which individual student characteristics (e. g., performance, school biography, family background) predict school change after the probationary year. We were particularly interested as to whether there are secondary effects of social background, after controlling for differences in performance. Our analyses were based on data from a study which included a whole cohort of school track changers (N = 754) who were compared with students that remained at the academic track (N = 1470). In order to predict the change of school type, multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Results revealed significant differences between both groups regarding all observed characteristics. Performance-related characteristics were the best predictors of track change. After controlling for these characteristics, no further significant effects for other predictors were observable (i. e., no secondary effects of social background were present). (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: The internal/external frame of reference (I/E) model assumes the interplay of social and dimensional comparisons in the formation of domain-specific academic self-concepts. The present study tests the generalizability of the I/E model assumptions across students from different ability tracks. While the findings from previous studies implied the similar use of social comparisons with students from different ability tracks, evidence has been missing so far whether students from different ability tracks apply dimensional comparisons to the same extent. Students from lower ability tracks are said to be confronted with negative stereotypes and felt deprivation which might enforce or weaken the use of dimensional comparisons. For the analyses, students from the academic track (N = 702) and the vocational track (N = 528) of German secondary schools were included as these two groups represent two extreme groups of ability tracks which might thus maximize the power of detecting differences in the use of social and dimensional comparisons. Both the original I/E model only including math and verbal achievement and self-concepts measures and an I/E model extended to five school subjects (math, German, English, physics, and biology) were examined. The results indicated invariance across school tracks for both the original I/E model and the extended I/E model when controlling for students' gender, socioeconomic status, and cognitive ability.
