Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Irrespective of individual achievement, schoolmates' achievement, and track level, students who received the intermediate school-leaving certificate had higher academic self-concepts, believed their certificate would give them better labor market chances, and were less disengaged from school than students who received the low school-leaving certificate. → Dumont 2017

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Analysis of questionnaire, achievement, and administrative data from 2,155 Berlin students compared certificate groups; the intermediate-certificate group "had higher academic self-concepts" and were "less disengaged from school than students who received the low school-leaving certificate."
"students who received the intermediate school-leaving certificate had higher academic self-concepts, believed that their certificate would give them better chances of success in the labor market, and were less disengaged from school than students who received the low school-leaving certificate."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Academic Self-Concept — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Educational certificates are the most important tracking feature shaping students' self-beliefs and school disengagement at the end of schooling — a broader claim this one bears on
- Schoolmates' achievement (big-fish-little-pond effect) relates only to academic self-concepts, not to labor market beliefs or disengagement — related
- Track level did not predict students' self-beliefs or school disengagement at the end of schooling — related
