School systems, segregation and civic competence Germ Janmaat LLAKES International Conference, Birkbeck, London 5-6 July 2010

Research questions What are the links between ability grouping, segregation and civic competences? Is ability grouping associated with greater disparities of civic competences? Is ability grouping associated with high levels of social and ethnic school segregation? Is ability grouping intensifying the effect of school social and ethnic composition on civic competences?

Why these research questions? Academia has disregarded disparities of civic competences; yet these are likely to be of interest for policy makers; Ability grouping may enhance disparities of civic competences across schools through curriculum differences and different teacher expectations; Ability grouping has been linked with social and ethnic segregation because of the close relation between social and ethnic background and achievement; In countries with the highest level of school social segregation the effect of social composition on achievement is greatest (OECD 2002; Green et al 2006) But does the latter also apply for civic competences?

What are civic competences? A comprehensive, multidimensional collection of qualities consisting of: -Civic knowledge and skills (cognitive component) -Civic attitudes (normative component) -Participation (behavioural component) Are attitudes and participation responding in the same way to school conditions as knowledge and skills?

Data sources Data: Green et al’s (2006) classification of countries regarding grouping by ability in lower secondary (LS): - Nordic states: full comprehensive systems with strict mixed ability classes; - Southern Europe: centralised comprehensive systems with some streaming; - English-speaking states: incomplete comprehensive system with widespread streaming and setting; - the “German”-speaking states: early selection systems with stratified LS schools IEA Civic Education Study (1999) to explore civic competences Analysis on 13 states Methods: Multilevel analysis with cross-level interaction effects

Civic competence outcomes Four outcomes: Cognitive component: -Civic knowledge and skills (scale based on 38 test items) Normative component: -Interpersonal trust (single item tapping trust in compatriots) -Ethnic tolerance(scale based on 5 items on immigrants) Behavioural component: -Civic participation(composite index based on 15 items on participation in various organizations)

Methods Intra Class Correlation coefficient to assess disparities of civic competences and levels of social and ethnic segregation Multilevel analysis using SPSS mixed methods option to assess individual and classroom effects

Results 1: Cross classroom disparities in civic competences (ICCs) Full compre- hensive CentralizedIncomplete compre- hensive Early selection Civic knowledge and skills Ethnic tolerance Civic participation Interpersonal trust

Results 2: Classroom social and ethnic segregation Social segregation: (ICC) Ethnic segregation: (ICC) Denmark.05 Finland Norway Sweden Full comprehensive Greece.10-* Italy Portugal.20-* Centralized Australia England United States Incomplete comprehensive Belgium (French) Germany Switzerland Early selection.19.11

Conclusions Results are as expected for social segregation and civic knowledge and skills (CKS): the more grouping by ability, the more segregation, the greater the disparities of CKS and the greater the effect of social composition on CKS Results are not in line with expectation for ethnic segregation and the attitudinal and behavioural component of civic competences. Why not? – Ethnic segregation may depend more on residential segregation in combination with strict catchment areas; – Pupils in lower status tracks may be unaware of the disadvantaged position they find themselves in; by contrast pupils in mixed ability classes may be much more aware of inequalities; One thing is certain: civic competences are a diverse set of qualities
