Steinmann, Isa; Strello, Andrés; Strietholt, Rolf – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2023
We investigated effects of tracking students into higher, more academic, and lower, less academic, school types immediately after primary school (early tracking) instead of having a comprehensive secondary school system (late tracking) on school gender segregation and gender gaps in achievement outcomes. We assumed that, in early tracking…

Early Tracking and Different Types of Inequalities in Achievement: Difference-in-Differences Evidence from 20 Years of Large-Scale Assessments
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Strello, Andrés; Strietholt, Rolf; Steinmann, Isa; Siepmann, Charlotte – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2021
Research to date on the effects of between-school tracking on inequalities in achievement and on performance has been inconclusive. A possible explanation is that different studies used different data, focused on different domains, and employed different measures of inequality. To address this issue, we used all accumulated data collected in the…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hogrebe, Nina; Strietholt, Rolf – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2016
While expectations are high for early childhood education to support students' reading literacy, research findings are inconclusive. The purpose of the study is to estimate the effect of preschool non-participation on reading literacy at the end of primary school. That is, what is the average achievement of children who did not attend preschool…
