Understanding early school leaving (ESL) remains a key issue on political and academic agendas. Most research focuses on the experiences of young people who intend to leave or have left school early without a qualification from secondary education. In addition, most studies focus on regular secondary schools. We aim to add to this literature by…

Baudoin, Noémie; Galand, Benoît – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2022

This study therefore investigated this important issue using a…

Mieke Van Houtte – Gender and Education, 2024
Starting from observed gender differences in educational effort and because research considers motivation to be a personal student feature, this study had two aims.

Jelle Boeve-De Pauw; Haydée De Loof; Susanne Walan; Niklas Gericke; Peter Van Petegem – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: Informal learning environments (ILEs) like Fablabs and Makerspaces have potential to facilitate development of STEM skills. However, these environments might be difficult for teachers to adopt in their teaching because of teaching approaches grounded in constructionism where the role of the teacher changes from a transmissive…

Van Houtte, Mieke – Educational Studies, 2023
In explaining why girls outperform boys in school, some studies focus on individual gender-identity. Others stress the interactional dimension of students exerting pressure to act in a more masculine/feminine way. Still other research examines the development of student cultures in specific school contexts. Considering the gender structure, this…

Andersen; Per Kristian Hilden; Marianne Opaas; Natalie Durbeej; Fatumo Osman; Anna Sarkadi; Emma Soye; Mervi Vänskä – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2024
Teachers are pivotal in creating safe and efficacious learning environments for ethnic minority students. Research suggests that teachers' multicultural attitudes, self-efficacy, and wellbeing at work may all play important roles in this endeavor. Using survey data on 433 teachers in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and the United…

This paper focusses on the organisational responses of secondary schools to newly arrived migrant students.

Larry J. Grabau; Jan Van Damme – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Adaptive science dispositions (epistemology, enjoyment, interest, and self-efficacy) have been shown to be related to schools' science climate and science literacy. School stratification may promote positive linkages among science dispositions, science literacy, and science climate. To examine the association between school stratification and such…

Van Houtte, Mieke; Vantieghem, Wendelien – Youth & Society, 2020
This study examines whether the gender difference in sense of academic futility is related to the proportion of girls attending a school. We argue that the more progressive gender role culture in schools with a higher proportion of girls might influence especially boys' sense of futility. Multilevel analyses of data gathered in 2014 from 5,162…

Sass, Wanda; Quintelier, Amy; Boeve-de Pauw, Jelle; De Maeyer, Sven; Gericke, Niklas; Van Petegem, Peter – Environmental Education Research, 2021
Young students have raised their voices in debates on what action for sustainable development (SD) is necessary. Nevertheless, research that gives voice to 10 to 13-year-olds while looking into SD issues in all their complexity of interrelated environmental, social, and socio-economic perspectives, is scarce. This study aims to give voice to these…
