Online data collection in SITES 2006: paper survey versus web survey - do they provide comparable results?

Brečko, Barbara Neža (author), Carstens, Ralph (author)

Family income and parents' educational background are strong predictors of a student reading achievement. Schools with children from wealthier and better educated families have easier job to do - in terms of teaching children how toread and write. They are not always successful, though. On the other hand, there are schools where students come from economically disadvantaged homes and yet schools tend to have reading achievement above the national levels or,above the expected level according to the environmental factors. We were interested in schools which exceeded the expectations according to the family income and parents' educational background. Various variables were tested to find out which are relevant for the effective schools in various countries.
