CERVINI, Rubén. Los efectos de la escuela y del aula sobre el logro en matemáticas y en lengua de la educación secundaria: Un modelo multinivel. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2006, vol.28, n.112, pp.68-97. ISSN 0185-2698.

In this article, the schools and classrooms effects on mathematics and language achievement of student at the last year of secondary education in Argentina is investigated. Data on a total of 68 803 students in 2 527 class of 915 schools in 20 states from the Censo Nacional de Finalización del Nivel Secundario 1998 (High School National Census) were considered. Student's math and language scores were based on standard tests applied to the students at the end of the academic year. Using multilevel modeling techniques with four levels (student, classroom, school and state) it was found that the student background and compositional characteristics explain a large proportion of 'between school' variance. After controlling for this, class effect (intra-school variance) became more important than the school effects (between-school variance).It was observed that the inter-class (in)equity variation is stronger than the between school (in)equity variation. Some implications for research and policy are drawn from the analysis.
