Abstract

ABSTRACT Finnish students start academic or vocational track in upper secondary education at age 16 years. Track placement is based on grades, but family background and psychosocial resources may have influences. Using 2014 survey data of Grade 9 students in Helsinki Metropolitan area linked to the Joint Application Registry data as of 2017, we fitted two-level, sex-stratified, generalized structural equation models to determine how reserve capacity (academic self-efficacy and social support), family background, and the comprehensive schools predict track placement. Adjusting for the effect of grades, low reserve capacity and disadvantaged family background increased probabilities of vocational track and non-placement of students. Schools also affected track placement, suggesting differences among comprehensive schools in the area. Findings imply that building reserve capacities of adolescents, through enhancing academic self-efficacy and social support, particularly in those with disadvantaged backgrounds, could increase chances of academic track placement in upper secondary school.

心理社会储备能力、家庭背景和教育路径选择——来自芬兰的纵向研究

摘要芬兰学生从16岁开始在高中学习或职业。赛道安排是基于成绩的，但家庭背景和社会心理资源可能会产生影响。使用2014年赫尔辛基大都会区9年级学生的调查数据，结合截至2017年的联合申请登记数据，我们拟合了两级、性别分层、广义结构方程模型，以确定储备能力（学业自我效能和社会支持）、家庭背景和综合学校如何预测轨迹安排。根据年级、低后备能力和弱势家庭背景的影响进行调整，增加了职业轨道和学生不被安置的可能性。学校也影响了赛道的设置，这表明该地区综合学校之间存在差异。研究结果表明，通过提高学业自我效能感和社会支持，特别是在那些背景不利的青少年中，培养青少年的后备能力，可以增加在高中阶段安排学业的机会。
