This study focused on the social determinants of the objectified state of cultural capital in adulthood. It examined whether intergenerational transmission is still the dominant determinant of the size of a person’s home library in post-communist Czech society. We applied structural equation modelling to data (N = 1958) from the Czech Household Panel Survey (CHPS) and found that while the size of a person’s home library was significantly affected by the size of the parents’ library, the parents’ educational attainment had only an indirect effect that was manifested through the respondent’s education and reading preferences....

Available statistics and research show that there are large differences in the content and conditions of education and the socio-economic composition of students between the tracks offered in the Czech secondary school system (the vocational track, technical track, and academic track). The graduates of these different tracks show large differences in educational outcomes, including non-cognitive outcomes such as motivation to study, self-concept, and civic attitudes. There is no consensus on whether differences in outcomes are primarily due to differences in the knowledge and attitudes that young people already have upon entering the different tracks,...

The Whole Class First and Individuals Second? The Ethnography of Pre-Service Teachers’ Learning to Address Student Diversity during Their Practicum

Jana Obrovská, Petr Svojanovský

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2024, 60(4): 415-439 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2023.035  

Social inequalities can be reproduced or levelled through education. Czech schools tend to increase social inequalities, which is why discussion has increasingly turned to approaches that address the individual educational needs of every student. Such approaches include the concept of differentiated instruction. However, differentiation in teaching can be a professional challenge, especially for pre-service teachers, who during their practicum in lower-secondary schools need the support of mentors when learning to address student diversity. The aim of this study is to discover how pre-service teachers learn to work with student diversity during their...
