Alberto Álvarez-Sotomayor; David Gutiérrez-Rubio – European Educational Research Journal, 2024

Dorottya Demszky; C. Lee Williams; Shannon T. Brady; Shashanka Subrahmanya; Eric Gaudiello; Gregory M. Walton; Johannes C. Eichstaedt – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2024
Inequality in college has both structural and psychological causes; these include the presence of self-defeating beliefs about the potential for growth and belonging. Such beliefs can be addressed through large-scale interventions in the college transition (Walton & Cohen, 2011; Walton et al., 2023) but are hard to measure. In our…

Use of high-stakes exams in a course has been associated with gender, racial, and socioeconomic inequities. We investigated whether offering students the opportunity to retake an exam makes high-stakes exams more equitable. Following the control value theory of achievement emotions, we hypothesized that exam retakes would increase students'…

Countries and cities around the world increasingly rely on centralized systems to assign students to schools. Two algorithms, deferred acceptance (DA) and immediate acceptance (IA), are widespread.

Sharp, Caroline; Julius, Jenna; Hillary, Jude – National Foundation for Educational Research, 2023
There is a large and long-standing gap in education outcomes between pupils from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers in England (EEF, 2018; Hutchinson et al., 2020). Although there is some evidence of improvement since 2011, the gap has widened recently, largely as a result of school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic…

Jin, Jin; Ball, Stephen J. – British Journal of Educational Studies, 2020
Studies in relation to working-class students at elite universities document on the one hand the role of 'mundane reflexivity' in dealing with class domination while on the other indicate a new form of domination and disadvantages working on these working-class 'exceptions' -- they may achieve academically at university but experience various…

Levine, Dani; Pace, Amy; Luo, Rufan; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; de Villiers, Jill; Igesias, Aquiles; Wilson, Mary Sweig – Grantee Submission, 2020
Early language competence is a reliable and powerful predictor of children's success in school, and word gaps linked to socioeconomic status disparities have cascading effects on academic outcomes. While early research -- such as the work of Hart and Risley (1995) -- focused on gaps in vocabulary, growing evidence reveals wide gaps in syntax as…

Francis, Becky; Craig, Nicole; Hodgen, Jeremy; Taylor, Becky; Tereshchenko, Antonina; Connolly, Paul; Archer, Louise – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2020

Focusing on self-confidence, this article draws on survey responses from 9,059 12-13 year olds who were tracked by subject ('setting'). They provided…
