Summary: | The results of a secondary analysis of the empirical data collected during
PISA 2018 on the sample of pupils from Serbia and Croatia are presented in
this paper. Based on the theoretical model established by Pierre Bourdieu,
we examined the effects of cultural capital in all three forms (objectified,
embodied and institutionalized) on reading, mathematical and science
competencies of pupils, measured through PISA tests. As a mediator of given
variables, we put certain indicators of habitus, which is also one of the
key concepts of Bourdieu?s theory. The indicators which were included are
adjustment to the educational system and education expectations,
specifically marked as educational habitus. The results showed positive
effect of all tree forms of cultural capital on a specific type of
competence, while education expectations are confirmed as a mediator between
cultural capital and competences. A comparative analysis of Serbia and
Croatia showed that there are some differences regarding objectified
cultural capital and education expectations which have stronger effect on
pupil?s competences on the sample from Croatia. The results of this research
can be used for creating implications for educational policies which would
be focused on obtaining cultural capital among pupils, therefore improving
their competencies and, consequently, reducing social inequalities in
education by more equal distribution of this form of capital. |
