Abstract

This volume addresses questions that lie at the core of research into education. It examines the way in which the institutional embeddedness and the social and ethnic composition of students affect educational performance, skill formation, and behavioral outcomes. It discusses the manner in which educational institutions accomplish social integration. It poses the question of whether they can reduce social inequality,  – or whether they even facilitate the transformation of heterogeneity into social inequality. Divided into five parts, the volume offers new insights into the many factors, processes and policies that affect performance levels and social inequality in educational institutions. It presents current empirical work on social processes in educational institutions and their outcomes. While its main focus is on the primary and secondary level of education and on occupational training, the book also presents analyses of institutional effects on transitions from vocational training into tertiary educational institutions in an interdisciplinary and internationally comparative approach.

Abstract

In den letzten 20 Jahren wurden in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung vermehrt Einflussfaktoren auf diskrete Zustände und im Zeitverlauf eintretende Ereignisse untersucht. Die für die statistische Analyse von Zuständen und Ereignissen entwickelten Regressionsverfahren werden in diesem einführenden Lehrbuch anschaulich und anwendungsorientiert dargestellt. Der Anspruch des Buches besteht darin, den Leserinnen und Lesern die Grundprinzipien dieser fortgeschrittenen Regressionsverfahren verständlich zu machen. Sie sollen durch einen möglichst leichten Einstieg in die Thematik zur Anwendung dieser Modelle angeregt werden, ohne dabei jedoch die Komplexität der Verfahren aus dem Blick zu verlieren.   Der Inhalt Zustände und Ereignisse in den Sozialwissenschaften.- Das generalisierte lineare Regressionsmodell.- Die binäre logistische Regression.- Korrelierte Übergänge: Das bivariate Probit-Modell.- Ereignisanalyse I: Zensierung, Sterbetafel und Kaplan-Meier-Schätzer.- Ereignisanalyse II: Regressionsmodelle.- Schätzung der Anzahl von Ereignissen: Modelle für Zähldaten.- Mehr oder weniger: Ordinale logistische Regression.- Multinomiale logistische Regression und deren Erweiterungen.- Abgeschnittene, zensierte und selektive Daten: Tobit-Regression und Heckman-Modell   Die Zielgruppen Studierende und Dozierende der Soziologie, Demographie, Gesundheitswissenschaften, Psychologie sowie Betriebs- und Volkswirtschaft   Der Autor Dr. Michael Windzio ist Professor für Soziologie an der Universität Bremen.

Abstract

In this open access volume, the editors identify the trajecto­ries and pat­terns displayed by education systems and investigate the causes of change from a global and historical perspective. The contributors argue that the emergence and de­velopment of educa­tion systems can be traced back to inherent national factors, as well as to the interna­tional diffusion of ideas. The research presented in this volume is a wide-ranging analysis and explana­tion of the dynamics of emergence, diffusion, and change in relation to state educa­tion systems. The chapters offer an empirical investigation into whether the global diffusion of West­ern-rational educational content and organizational forms occurs as expected by neoinstitu­tionalist theory, or whether culturally specific developmen­tal paths dominate in different parts of the world. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in various social science disci­plines, including social policy, education, sociology, political science, international relations, organizational the­ory, and economics.

Abstract

In dem Lehrbuch werden grundlegende Methoden zur Analyse von Paneldaten vorgestellt. Die Autoren diskutieren dabei  die unterschiedlichen Motive zur Verwendung von Paneldaten und leiten dann für unterschiedliche Variablentypen, Fragestellungen und Motive die jeweils passende Regressionsmethode ab. Die Mechanik und Funktionsweise der verschiedenen Methoden wird dabei auf der Basis replizierbarer Beispiele verdeutlicht, das Buch ist somit gleichzeitig Lehr- und Übungsbuch. Neben der Darstellung zentraler Analysetechniken (Fixed Effects, Random Effects, Hybride Ansätze) bieten die Autoren den Leserinnen und Lesern konkrete Entscheidungsstrategien zur Auswahl des geeigneten Verfahrens in unterschiedlichen Analysesituationen.

Abstract

This open access book analyses the global diffusion of social policy as a process driven by multiplex ties between countries in global social networks. The contributions analyze links between countries via global trade, colonial history, similarity in culture, and spatial proximity. Networks are viewed as the structural backbone of the diffusion process, and diffusion is anlaysed via several subfields of social policy, in order to interrogate which network dimensions drive this process. The focus is on a global perspective of social policy diffusion via networks, and it is the first book to explicitly follow this macro-quantitative perspective on diffusion at a global scale whilst also comparing different networks. The collection tests the network structures in terms of their relevance to the diffusion process in different subfields of social policy such as old age and survivor pensions, labor and labor markets, health and long-term care, education and training, and family and gender policy. The book will therefore be invaluable to students and researchers of global social policy, sociology, political science, international relations, organization theory and economics.

Abstract

Over the last four decades the sociological life course approach with its focus on the interplay of structure and agency over time life course perspective has become an important research perspective in the social sciences. Yet, while it has successfully been applied to almost all fields of social inquiry it is much less used in research studying migrant populations and their integration patterns. This is puzzling since understanding immigrants' integration requires just the kind of dynamic research approach this approach puts forward: any integration theory actually refers to life course processes. This volume shows fruitful cross-linkages between the two research traditions. A range of studies are presented that all apply sociological life course concepts to research on migrants and migrant groups in Europe. The book is organized thematically, indicating different important domains in the life course. Using a wide variety of methodological approaches, it covers both quantitative studies based on population census data and survey material as well as qualitative studies based on interviews. Attention is paid to the life courses of those who migrated themselves as well as their offspring. The studies cover different European countries, relating to one national context or a particular local setting in a city as well as cross-country comparisons. Overall the book shows that applying the sociological life course approach to migration and integration research may advance our understanding of immigrant settlement patterns as well as further develop the life course perspective
