Research project Educational achievement - measurement of Swedish lower-secondary school students' results

My research project as a Phd student focuses on to describe and analyse school results in the later years of the compulsory school level.

With school results, grades, national test results, and PISA results are referred to in the current context. Within the project I have used aggregated data from Sweden’s Ministry of Education, individual data from the UGU database and from PISA 2018. The factors that I have examined are socioeconomic status (SES), migration background, cognitive abilities, non-cognitive abilities, teacher competene, and geographical position. Some of the project’s studies focus on some of these factors, but SES is included in all three articles.
