    A School Effectiveness Approach to Good Citizenship
    (Springer, Cham, 2021) Treviño Villarreal, Juan Ernesto; Carrasco Ogaz, Diego; López Hornickel, Natalia Verónica; Zúñiga, Carmen Gloria
    Schools are traditionally considered agents of political socialization. However, the school’s capacity to promote citizenry among students is often considered limited, in comparison to the expected influence of the socioeconomic background of students’ families. Using data from IEA’s International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS), this chapter inquires if schools’ differences are related to students’ citizenship norms endorsement, focusing on the relationship between civic learning opportunities and open classroom discussion of schools on promoting citizenship norms endorsement among students. To this end, a multilevel multinomial base category logit model is used, including students’ and schools’ characteristics specifying citizenship norms profiles as the dependent variable. Citizenship norms profiles is a nominal variable, that summarize the way students endorse 12 different citizenship norms, across countries. Results suggest that schools explain a non-ignorable portion of the variance of students’ citizenship norms endorsement. Additionally, civic learning opportunities and open classroom discussion are school practices that promote a comprehensive endorsement of citizenship norms, above students’ socioeconomic background, and students’ civic background across countries. Implications for civic education are discussed.

    Indirect effects of bullying on school mathematics achievement in Chile
    (2022) Carrasco Ogaz, Diego; Banerjee, Robin; López Hornickel, Natalia Verónica; Treviño Villarreal, Juan Ernesto
    Students who experience bullying at school present different negative outcomes, including lower academic achievement. However, the process by which bullying is connected to academic achievement is not clear. Using the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) dataset from Chilean schools in 2011, we sought to estimate the indirect effects of bullying on mathematics achievement via two key socio-motivational factors, namely school belonging and students’ engagement. Results of our multilevel latent covariate analyses showed that schools’ bullying rates were predictive of school differences in mathematics achievement, but these effects were explained by broader characteristics of the school environment such as perceived levels of safety and discipline. Crucially, the hypothesized indirect pathway was evident at the within-school level, showing that individual experiences of bullying are related to a poorer sense of belonging with the school as a whole, as well as poorer classroom engagement.
