Region- and student-centered outcomes

A/3 - Aims 1. …is to argue for the interpretational capacity of the social capital theory in connection with the differences between the potential/actual HE students’ achievement. 2….is to point out, that social capital is not only family resource but can be institutional capital 3. … is to distinguish social capital rooted in inner/external and intergenerational/intragenerational relationships 4.. ..is to compare the effects of some representative social and cultural capital indicators.

Theoretical background
Social capital from relational resources can compensate the reproductive mechanisms of cultural capital in educational career (Coleman & Hoffer 1987, Coleman 1988) 2. Institutional characters (relationships, trust and expanded faculty role models) can serve as social capital (Bryk-Lee 2002, Pusztai 2009) 3. Students’ institutional integration and institutional context attributes effect on student achievement (attendance, persistence) also in Higher Education (Astin 1993, Tinto 1993, Pascarella-Terenzini 2009) 4. Institutional habit effects on carrier path of non-traditional students more than others (Tierney2000, Reay et al.2009)

Our former studies 1. It was revealed that student achievement differences do not only originate from the advantages or disadvantages of social background, they can be explained by the form, size and composition of relationships in institutions according to the social capital hypothesis. (Pusztai 2006, 2007) 2. We pointed out that students in our region come from middle and lower strata, and their attendance to university and further educational career is supported by social capital, namely the number and composition of friends, relationships with teachers and so on. (Pusztai 2010, Fónai-Márton 2010) 3. Having analyzed our regional longitudinal HE data we revealed that students integration into campus community affects their learning attitudes fundamentaly.(Pusztai 2011)
