A Cross-national Analysis of the Relation of Educational Trust to Expected Educational Attainment
نویسنده
چکیده
While student perceptions of the fairness and trustworthiness of educational institutions have been shown to relate to civic participation, this relationship has not been extended to issues of continued participation in the education system. Using data from the IEA Civic Education Study of 14-yearolds, measures of trust in schools and perceptions of educational inequality are examined in their relationships with perceived educational attainment. The extent to which academic achievement levels mediate this relationship is also assessed. Additionally, differences are examined and discussed between genders. This relationship is observed in four countries-Cyprus, England, the Russian Federation, and the United States-who differ both in their systems of education and in nationwide expectations of educational attainment.
