Wie erfolgreich sind Gymnasiasten ohne Gymnasialempfehlung?

Die Kluft zwischen Schullaufbahnempfehlung und Schulformwahl der Eltern

authored by: Joachim Tiedemann, Elfriede Billmann-Mahecha
Abstract: This contribution has the objective of analyzing the school success of pupils, whose parents chose a school with a higher academic profile than recommended by their teachers. On the basis of longitudinal data for a complete transition cohort of 81,811 pupils in Lower Saxony, Germany, we will investigate the link between teachers' recommendations for school-type at the end of year 4, the parents' choice of school-type and pupils' ultimate success. The criterion used here for measuring success is reaching year 7 without repeating a year. 15% of the parents chose a school-type with a higher academic profile than had been recommended. All groups of pupils with conflicting recommendations and eventual choice-whether for the academically-oriented Gymnasium or the more vocationally-oriented Realschule-were generally successful. Overall 12% of the total sample is successfully studying at a school-type of higher academic profile than recommended. These results mean that educational resources are not being fully exploited and educational chances restricted.
