Abstract

Engaging in extracurricular activities is known to affect both cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes, but there is social inequality in access to these activities. In this study, we examine the role of extracurricular activities in moderating the relationships between secondary school students' social background and their cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes. Secondly, we examine variations in these relationships among three European cities that represent different educational systems in managing student heterogeneity. Based on the study findings, the effects of extracurricular activities on academic outcomes varied with regard to measured skills and the city of study. Extracurricular activities were related to enhanced interpersonal skills in all cities studied. However, in Turku and Ghent, extracurricular activities buffered the socio-economic gradient in interpersonal skills, whereas in Barcelona, such activities increased it. Rather surprisingly, in all cities, engaging in extracurricular activities magnified the effect of socio-economic status on cognitive skills.

社会技能不平等:探索课外活动对非认知和认知结果的社会经济差异的调节作用
众所周知,参与课外活动会影响认知和非认知结果,但在参与这些活动方面存在着社会不平等。在本研究中,我们探讨了课外活动在调节中学生的社会背景与其认知和非认知结果之间关系中的作用。其次,我们研究了代表不同教育体系的三个欧洲城市在管理学生异质性方面的差异。根据研究结果,课外活动对学业成绩的影响因所测技能和学习城市而异。在所研究的所有城市中,课外活动都与人际交往能力的提高有关。然而,在图尔库和根特,课外活动缓冲了人际交往能力方面的社会经济梯度,而在巴塞罗那,这种活动则增加了人际交往能力方面的社会经济梯度。令人惊讶的是,在所有城市中,参与课外活动放大了社会经济地位对认知技能的影响。
