Educational trajectories in secondary education: Mapping out factual and perceived choice options and acceptable alternatives
Start a new DMP in Loading
Secondary school choice options include choice of track (vmbo/havo/vwo), profiles, and school subjects. Our first aim is to explain students’ educational trajectories within the context of the factual, offered and recommended choice options at their school. That is, school policy and/or culture may restrict students’ choice options and influence their decisions. Our second aim is to explain students’ educational trajectories within the context of the choice options they are aware of, their school performance and alternative choice options they evaluate as acceptable. The necessary data will be derived from schools’ management information systems, student monitoring systems, questionnaires and interviews. The project provides a systematic evaluation of pros and cons of each choice option and makes this information available to students and schools, which can lead to broader sets of perceived choice options among students. An “Online Decision Tool” will be developed that supports students’ educational decisions.
