ABSTRACT

Research shows that the concept of academic futility is promising for studying the mechanisms that cause differences in educational outcomes in general and vocational programmes. The aim of this paper is to test the hypothesis that in the Czech Republic, a country with one the largest VET sectors in Europe, the worse achievement of students in vocational programmes can also be explained by academic futility, and to explore the relationship between futility and the track attended. The conceptualisation of academic futility returns to the three-dimensional concept proposed by Brookover and Schneider in 1975. The analysis was carried out on a sample of 4871 upper secondary students. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit of the model for a two-level (student and class) concept of academic futility. Two-level structural equation modelling showed a negative relationship between futility and achievement and a lower culture of futility in classes with higher socio-economic status.

摘要

研究表明，学术无益的概念对于研究导致普通课程和职业课程教育成果差异的机制很有希望。本文的目的是检验这样一个假设，即在捷克共和国这个欧洲职业教育和培训部门规模最大的国家之一，学生在职业课程中成绩较差也可以用学业无用来解释，并探讨无用之间的关系。和赛道参加了。学术无益的概念又回到了布鲁克弗和施奈德在1975年提出的三维概念。该分析以4871名高中学生为样本进行。验证性因素分析表明，该模型非常适合学术无益的两个层面（学生和班级）概念。
