Longitudinella data för studier av ojämlikhet i skolan (MapIE)
Kort beskrivning
The MapIE project aims at identifying and analysing longitudinal data both to understand how inequalities develop in different educational contexts and particularly to identify effective mechanisms and interventions to close achievement gaps.
We aim at understanding how educational inequalities develop as an interplay of pupil-level predictors and the features of the local, regional and national policies and practices. MapIE focuses on the contextual differences between the Nordic and Central European countries that have structurally different education systems and thereby varying approaches to tracking and school selection, which are considered central system-level factors contributing to school segregation.
Till minne av Monica Rosén
Vi vill uttrycka vår djupa tacksamhet gentemot professor Monica Rosén för hennes betydande insats som tidigare projektledare för MapIE. Monica är tyvärr inte längre med oss, vilket är en stor sorg. Vi kommer att fortsätta arbeta i hennes anda och med hennes inspirerande vision som ledstjärna.
Work Packages
The project has seven interrelated work packages:
- WP1: Project management
- WP2: Literature review
- WP3: Framework for data mapping
- WP4: Data mapping and data management
- WP5: Effective interventions and policies
- WP6: Framework for future longitudinal studies
- WP7: Dissemination, exploitation, communication
Research Outputs
The main research outputs of our project are a systematic literature review published both for scientific audiences and the wider public, an open metadata database containing descriptions of a wide range of European longitudinal datasets identified in data mapping with links to original data where applicable, and empirical analyses of the accessed data that are published in a large number of publications and dissemination events for both scientific audiences and educational policy makers as well as authorities, schools and the public media. Finally, we create a public framework for studying educational inequalities longitudinally in future studies, acknowledging the role of local contexts but aiming for comparability at the European level.
