Private Schooling, Educational Transitions, and Early Labour Market Outcomes: Evidence from Three Anglophone Countries
This article considers the extent to which private-state school differences in post-secondary outcomes can be explained by family background, secondary school achievement, or neither of the above. We find that privately educated childrenâs more advantaged family backgrounds and higher levels of school achievement are the main reasons why this group is more likely to enter university and work in professional jobs. However, even after accounting for family background and high school achievement, non-trivial private-state school differences in later lifetime outcomes remain. Empirical evidence is presented for three industrialized nations (Australia, England, and the United States), with broadly similar patterns of association observed within each
Changes in catastrophizing and kinesiophobia are predictive of changes in disability and pain after treatment in patients with anterior knee pain
Purpose. The purpose of the study was to investigate if changes in psychological variables are related to the outcome in pain and disability in patients with chronic anterior knee pain. Methods. A longitudinal observational study on 47 patients with chronic anterior knee pain was performed in a secondary healthcare setting. Pain was measured with the visual analogue scale and disability with the Lysholm scale. The psychological variables, such as anxiety, depression, pain coping strategies, catastrophizing and fear to movement beliefs, were studied by using self-administered questionnaires. Results. Among the pain coping strategies, only the catastrophizing subscale showed a significant reduction. Similarly, anxiety, depression and kinesiophobia were significantly reduced after treatment. Those patients who decreased the catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, anxiety and depression showed a greater improvement in pain and disability after a purely biomedical treatment. A multiple regression analysis revealed that changes in catastrophizing predicted the amount of improvement in pain severity and that changes in both catastrophizing and anxiety predicted changes in disability after treatment. Conclusion. What has been found suggests that clinical improvement in pain and disability is associated with a reduction in catastrophizing and kinesiophobia. Therefore, co-interventions to reduce catastrophizing thinking and kinesiophobia may enhance the results. Level of evidence. Prospective Cohort Study, Level I for prognosis

âEveryone has their own qualitiesâ : tracking and academic self-appraisal in Flemish secondary education
Track position has an impact on studentsâ perceptions of educational
success. These perceptions matter as they relate to educational and professional
aspirations and choices. In this ethnographic study, based on ethnographic observations
and semi-structured interviews in three secondary schools in Flanders
(northern part of Belgium), we want to increase our understanding of the combination
of within- and between track comparisons for studentsâ perceptions of their
educational success. The hierarchical nature of the Flemish educational system is
reflected in studentsâ comparison groups to evaluate their school success. In academic
tracks, most students considered their educational career automatically as
successful, regardless of their actual grades. Conversely, students in vocational
tracks developed more contradictory feelings with respect to their personal school
success and felt the need to distinguish themselves from their classmates. Thus,
regardless the existence of different school cultures across tracks, students searched
for strategies to define themselves as successful in school
