Alm Fjellborg, Andreas; Kramming, Kajsa – International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2022
This paper provides an analysis of how Swedish 15-year-olds perform on the high-stakes national assessments in geography. It explicitly addresses which item characteristics produce differential item functioning (DIF) in favor of boys and girls respectively. The findings show that DIF occurs in favor of girls in items with constructed response and…

Niepel, Christoph; Marsh, Herbert W.; Guo, Jiesi; Pekrun, Reinhard; Möller, Jens – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Academic self-concept and achievement have been found to be reciprocally related across time. However, existing research has focused on self-concept and achievement scores that have been averaged over long time-periods. For the first time, the present study examined intraindividual (within-person) relations between momentary (state) self-concept…

Advancing in key courses in ninth grade is an early, crucial step in preparing for college. Students who miss academic targets early in high school may not be ready to go to college 4 years later. In the United States, when students fail key courses in ninth grade, they may struggle to catch up to their peers who successfully took and passed these…

Roemer, Lena; Lechner, Clemens M.; Rammstedt, Beatrice – Journal of Intelligence, 2022
The Big Five personality traits are established predictors of school grades. However, the mechanisms underlying these associations are not yet well understood. Effects of personality on grades might arise because behavioral tendencies facilitate learning and increase subject-specific competencies. Alternatively, personality effects on grades might…

Wilkinson, Shaun D.; Penney, Dawn – British Educational Research Journal, 2022
Mixed-ability grouping is widespread in primary schools and in several subject areas in secondary schools in England. Notwithstanding, there is scant research on mixed-ability grouping in the education literature, particularly in terms of its impact on students' experiences. The research reported in this paper employs enactment theory to provide…

St-Amand, Jérôme; Smith, Jonathan; Rasmy, Aziz – International Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Over the last two decades, several studies have overlooked at-school belonging and engagement, two dimensions that are associated with several positive outcomes. However, the relative influence that contexts and interventions may have on these components has received much less attention. In this study, school belonging and engagement were examined…

Hettinger, Katharina; Lazarides, Rebecca; Schiefele, Ulrich – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
Mathematics interest is highly relevant for students' academical and emotional development in the domain of mathematics. Thus, it appears alarming that students' mathematics interest decreases during the course of secondary school. Teacher self-efficacy is a central facet of teacher motivation and is assumed to be highly relevant for student…

Tulagan, Nestor B.; Puente, Kayla; Simpkins, Sandra D. – Applied Developmental Science, 2023
Integrating situated expectancy-value and family systems theories, the current study tested the extent to which Latinx adolescents' 9th-grade school-related science conversations with parents and older siblings/cousins positively predicted their 10th-grade science ability self-concepts and task values. We also tested whether these links were…
