Abstract

Pathways to German higher education have diversified considerably during recent decades and approximately one quarter of all first year students enter higher education with a qualification for the skilled labour market. This contribution seeks to identify different types of pathways to higher education and examine the differences among these groups regarding five dimensions of self-reported academic readiness. For our analyses, we used data on Starting Cohort 5 of the National Educational Panel Study. Our results suggest that for most of the indicators of academic readiness, students who entered via non-traditional pathways reported lower levels of academic readiness than traditional students did. In particular, students without a formal higher-education entrance certificate reported lower levels of academic readiness than any other group did. These patterns remained largely stable after controlling for socio-demographic characteristics and institutional destination.

准备学习了吗?德国传统和非传统学生的学业准备

近几十年来，德国高等教育的途径相当多样化，大约四分之一的一年级学生进入高等教育时具有熟练劳动力市场的资格。这篇文章旨在确定不同类型的高等教育途径，并研究这些群体之间在自我报告的学术准备的五个方面的差异。在我们的分析中，我们使用了国家教育小组研究的起始队列5的数据。我们的结果表明，对于大多数学术准备指标，通过非传统途径进入的学生报告的学术准备水平低于传统学生。特别是，没有正式高等教育入学证书的学生报告的学术准备水平低于其他任何群体。在控制了社会人口特征和机构目的地后，这些模式基本保持稳定。

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.
