Abstract
Research has shown that students in vocational secondary school programs have worse results than students in general-education programs do, even when their initial results and family background are taken into account. Researchers have noted possible causes of this phenomenon in the school climate. In this article, the school climate is operationalized through a culture of academic futility. We examine whether the feeling of academic futility affects the performance in mathematics and reading literacy of third-year students at grammar schools, secondary vocational schools, and apprenticeship schools, taking into account their family background and initial knowledge. The analysis used multi-level modeling in MPlus and was performed on a set of 2,846 students from 143 classes in 79 schools who were administered tests and questionnaires at the beginning of secondary school and then again in the middle of their third year. The results confirm the effect of academic futility on student achievement and show slight differences in its effect between the two subjects.
期刊介绍:
Studia Paedagogica publishes original papers on education, upbringing and learning from all spheres of social life. The papers are theoretical, but mainly empirical as the journal publishes research undertaken in the Czech Republic and abroad. The journal publishes only original research papers and is open to both experienced and early researchers. Early researchers can publish their papers in the section Emerging Researchers of the journal and are offered intensive editorial support. The journal is interdisciplinary - it covers current topics in educational research while at the same time providing scope for studies grounded in other social sciences. The journal publishes four issues per year, two issues are dedicated to general interest articles and are in Czech, two issues are on a single topic and are in English. Studia Paedagogica is a peer reviewed journal published by the Masaryk University. The executive editors are members of the staff of the Department of Educational Sciences and the editorial board comprises of international experts. The name of the journal is derived from the name of its predecessor, Studia minora facultatis philosophicae universitatis brunensis (Sborník prací filozofické fakulty brněnské univerzity), which was issued from 1996 to 2008. However, the tradition of the journal dates much further back as the pedagogical-psychological series of the journal was published even between 1966 to 1995.
