In 'Discrimination in Education' the author makes methodological, theoretical, and empirical contributions to the study of discriminatory behavior by teachers towards students of different ethnicity, social class background, and gender. He reviews different motivations to study discrimination in education and beyond, provides an indepth discussion of numerous definitions of discrimination, and shows the potentials and limitations of theories from different disciplines to explain discrimination on the individual level and inequality between groups in the education system. In the empirical part of the book, the author examines the two major determinants of discrimination - prejudice and stereotypes - using data from the German General Social Survey (GGSS/ALLBUS) and the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). The major empirical contribution in Discrimination in Education is an experimental study with a random sample of over 200 elementary school teachers. In this study, the author addresses several shortcomings of prior research. After discussing the complex findings of his experiment, he concludes by suggesting several routes future research should take to gather more evidence on discrimination in education, its determinants and consequences.... view less

In 'Discrimination in Education' leistet der Autor methodische, theoretische und empirische Beiträge zur Untersuchung diskriminierenden Verhaltens von Lehrkräften gegenüber Schülerinnen und Schülern unterschiedlicher Ethnizität, sozialer Herkunft und Geschlecht. Er beschreibt verschiedene Motivationen zur Untersuchung von Diskriminierung innerhalb und außerhalb des Bildungswesens, diskutiert ausführlich zahlreiche Definitionen von Diskriminierung und zeigt die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen von Theorien aus verschiedenen Disziplinen zur Erklärung von Diskriminierung auf der individuellen Ebene und der Ungleichheit zwischen Gruppen im Bildungswesen auf. Im empirischen Teil des Buches untersucht der Autor die beiden wichtigsten Determinanten von Diskriminierung - Vorurteile und Stereotype - anhand von Daten der Allgemeinen Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften (ALLBUS) und dem Nationalen Bildungspanel (NEPS). Der wichtigste empirische Beitrag in 'Discrimination in Education' ist eine experimentelle Studie mit einer Zufallsstichprobe von über 200 Grundschullehrkräften. Mit seinem Studiendesign adressiert der Autor verschiedene Limitationen der bisherigen Forschung. Nachdem er die vielschichtigen Ergebnisse seines Experiments diskutiert hat, macht er abschließend verschiedene Vorschläge, wie zukünftige Studien weitere Evidenz zum Problemkomplex Diskriminierung im Bildungswesen sammeln können.... view less
