Peer effects in the light of students interactions and the subjective dimensions of school experience

2011

This Thesis addresses the issue of peer-effects in the context of school. From analysis of a large database produced by a Chilean national study (SIMCE 2004), this work investigates the mechanisms through which pupils with different levels of scholastic, human and cultural capital influence each other. These influences seem present for a diverse range of school outcomes, including academic achievement.

The presence of subjective dimensions capable of reflecting, in part, the school experience of p…

La méritocratie scolaire, une idéologie partagée ?

2006

06049; Au sein du domaine assez nourri des travaux sur les sentiments de justice (Kellerhals et al, 1997 ; Dubet, 2005), la recherche présentée ici se centre sur l'intériorisation du principe de mérite et sur la légitimité de l'assimilation entre mérite et mérite scolaire. Il s'agit de tester l'hypothèse émise dans le cadre des théories de la reproduction selon laquelle l'école joue en ce domaine, avec entre autres conséquences que l'intériorisation de la méritocratie scolaire doit être sensible au niveau d'instruction. Dans ce volet qualitatif, on se fonde sur l'analyse de cent entretiens auprès d'adultes tout-venant. L'intériorisation de la méritocratie scolaire est appréhendée par des qu…
