Development and validation of domain specific school diversity model scales among pupils and teachers: A multilevel approach.

The present study consisted of the development and validation of a novel multi-rater Domain-Specific School Diversity Model scale (DS-SDM) that captures pupils' and teachers' perceptions of the extent to which their school adopts assimilationist, colorblind, and pluralist approaches to the domains of (a) languages, (b) religions, (c) the curriculum, and (d) students' identities. Using data collected from 3073 students ages 10-12 years and 816 teachers from 59 primary schools in Flanders, Belgium, we performed multilevel exploratory factor analyses and confirmatory factor analyses to evaluate these novel scales. We identified a total of nine measurement scales among students and seven among teachers that were reliable (internal consistency range = 0.

The Association Between Perceived Discriminatory Climate in School and Student Performance in Math and Reading: A Cross-National Analysis Using PISA 2018.

This study investigated whether a perceived discriminatory climate in school is associated with lower academic performance across adolescents from ethnic minority and majority groups, and which psychological mechanisms may account for this link.
