Resumo: | Student achievement is often considered a product of student background, school variables, and institutional setting. Literature also indicates that these educational inputs have varying effects on students. This dissertation performs an in-depth analysis of student achievement in Norway, using the data from PISA 2015, to see which educational inputs contributed to the fact that Norway performed better than the OECD average. The persisting achievement gap between native and immigrant students was also thoroughly researched. Student achievement was measured through two main channels: 1) characteristic effects, and 2) return effects, and these were elaborated using descriptive statistics, t-tests, educational production functions, and Blinder-Oaxaca decompositions. Results indicate that home possessions such as cultural items and books at home, student motivation and expectations, and parental background had significant positive impacts on student achievement, while significant negative effects were found for wealth items, study time outside of class, emotional support, student anxiety, and absenteeism. The school variables were not found very relevant for student achievement. Furthermore, immigrant students experienced significantly worse endowments, particularly for language, home possessions, and parental background, and this, together with experiencing worse returns than native students, helped to explain the negative differences between the groups. |

A literatura também indica que esses fatores têm efeitos variados nos alunos. Esta dissertação realiza uma análise aprofundada do desempenho dos alunos na Noruega, usando os dados do PISA 2015, para ver quais fatores educacionais contribuíram para o fato de a Noruega ter tido um melhor resultado do que a média da OCDE. A lacuna persistente entre estudantes nativos e imigrantes também foi investigado. O desempenho dos alunos foi medido através de dois canais principais: 1) efeitos característicos, e 2) efeitos de retorno, e estes foram elaborados usando estatística descritiva, testes t, funções de produção educacional e decomposiçãos de Blinder-Oaxaca. Os resultados indicam que bens domésticos como posses culturais e livros em casa, motivação e expectativas dos alunos, e o trabalho e a educação dos pais tiveram um impacto significativamente positivo no desempenho do aluno, enquanto efeitos negativos foram encontrados para posses de riqueza, tempo de estudo fora da aula, apoio emocional dos pais, ansiedade estudantil e absenteísmo. Por outro lado, as características das escolas não parecem ter um efeito importante para o desempenho dos alunos. Além disso, estudantes imigrantes tinham dotações significativamente piores, particularmente para linguagem, posses em casa, e o trabalho e a educação dos pais, e isso, juntamente com piores retornos do que os estudantes nativos, ajudou a explicar as diferenças negativas entre os grupos.2019-02-12T12:46:09Z2018-07-19T00:00:00Z2018-07-192018-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/17262TID:201953420engCorreia, David Aasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:58:19Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/17262Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:30:20.054646Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

Student achievement is often considered a product of student background, school variables, and institutional setting. Literature also indicates that these educational inputs have varying effects on students. This dissertation performs an in-depth analysis of student achievement in Norway, using the data from PISA 2015, to see which educational inputs contributed to the fact that Norway performed better than the OECD average. The persisting achievement gap between native and immigrant students was also thoroughly researched. Student achievement was measured through two main channels: 1) characteristic effects, and 2) return effects, and these were elaborated using descriptive statistics, t-tests, educational production functions, and Blinder-Oaxaca decompositions.
