q2 i? Student grit and parental network centrality are unrelated to estimated pandemic effects across outcomes and SES groups. → van de Werfhorst 2024

Evidence¶

van de Werfhorst 2024¶

van de Werfhorst, H. G., Zwier, D., Geven, S., Bol, T. & Haelermans, C. (2024). Inequality in pandemic effects on school track placement and the role of social and academic embeddedness. npj Science of Learning 9:71. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-024-00283-1

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Structural equation models on the matched dataset (N=402), with embeddedness indicators estimated in separate models. The null holds across SES groups and schooling outcomes: grit and parental network centrality are not significantly associated with pandemic effects for any socioeconomic group or outcome.

"Student grit and parental network centrality are unrelated to estimated pandemic effects."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Personality Traits — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it

Related Claims¶

• Limited socioeconomic heterogeneity in the embeddedness–pandemic-effect association: multigroup model fits better but point estimates are largely consistent across SES groups — related
• In a Chicago middle-grades study, the combination of grades and attendance provided the best prediction of high school on-track rates, and adding test scores and grit measures did not further improve prediction — related
