Thus, the choice appears to be an internal process which come under the policy teach school, which consists in part in managing the social background of the pupils by allocating the later more or less equally between the different tracks available.

2008
This thesis examines the contribution of ‘ethnic' background to the school experiences of educationally and socially disadvantaged students in the senior years of high school (n=927). To investigate the role both of ethnic identification and its interplay with institutional factors, a comparative analysis of secondary student experiences in two national settings was undertaken. The case of Turkish-background students in Australia and France suggests that the influences of ethnic identity are thoroughly transformed from one setting to the other by distinctive pedagogical structures.

Les effets de la composition scolaire et sociale du public d'élèves sur leur réussite et leurs attitudes : évaluation externe et explorations qualita…
2003
Cette recherche met en lumière les effets de la composition sociale du contexte scolaire – school mix dans la littérature anglo-saxonne – sur les progressions des élèves et leurs attitudes, en primaire et en lycée (classe de seconde). Les effets de la composition sociale et scolaire du contexte sur les progressions des élèves apparaissent relativement faibles, en moyenne, même s’ils sont plus marqués pour les élèves de milieu populaire. En revanche, ils ont un effet sur l’expérience quotidienne des écoliers ou des lycéens, même si leurs impacts sur la réussite restent incertains. Enfin, la composition scolaire et sociale de l’établissement fréquenté peut jouer sur l'orientation en ce sens q…

Améliorer l'école
2006
06003; "L'idée que l'école peut s'améliorer n'est pas qu'un acte de foi. Les recherches empiriques en sciences sociales mettent en évidence que l'école agit à partir d'un contexte social qui en détermine fortement les effets mais que, dans un contexte semblable, certaines approches pédagogiques, certains établissements, certains systèmes éducatifs produisent des effets différents : des élèves faibles moins faibles, des inégalités sociales moins élevées. La recherche en sciences sociales peut contribuer à cette amélioration de plusieurs façons, à la condition de se rappeler que la transformation radicale de l'école n'est pas possible, que les obstacles rencontrés par les élèves ne sont pas d…
