Unequal Opportunities and Unequal Outcomes: International Evidence

Mon, April 12, 11:10am to 12:40pm EDT (11:10am to 12:40pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-International Studies Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session investigates inequality in educational opportunity and educational outcome from an international perspective. The authors from Belgium, China, England, Germany, Norway, and Ukraine present research using data from national and international large-scale studies (e.g. PISA, TIMSS). The session covers measurement issues related to how educational inequality is operationalized as well as studies that aim to understand mechanisms of inequality in educational opportunity and determinants of inequality in achievement. The studies apply advanced statistical methods such as fixed effects regression, matching analyses, multi-level modeling, and factor mixture modeling. The session consolidates knowledge on how to operationalize educational inequality and provides evidence on the determinant of educational inequality.
