This week on Wonkhe: Mature student numbers have seen more than a decade of decline. For Rachel Hewitt, it’s high time this was turned around
This article is part of the Erasmus+ project Complex trajectories: promoting students’ successful trajectories in higher education institutions (face-to-face and online)
University progression is diverse and complex. Policies should support transition to university, academic reorientation, and work–study balance.
Social background matters less once entry grades are controlled, though we find evidence of compensatory advantage for students from highly educated families.
Entry grades are the strongest predictor of academic success. But we also find that women are more likely to follow successful paths (including in STEM fields), while students aged 26+ tend to be more polarized: either they succeed through the optimal route or they drop out.
We analyse the academic trajectories of 30,000+ students entering Catalan universities in 2012–2013, tracked over 7 years.
Six different patterns emerge ranging from the “optimal route” (44%) to various dropout paths (early, stable, or late withdrawal).

"Put simply, regardless of whether they played by the rules by raising their hands or broke the rules by calling out or interrupting others in class, working-class children were less likely to be engaged with by their teachers."

Are you tired of analyzing your nominal and ordinal variables like its the 1950s? Then read @sociologicalsci.bsky.social today and see if ME inequality and total ME are right for you. We develop new methods for summarizing effects for nominal/ordinal independent and dependent variables.
