Abstract

BACKGROUND Academically resilient students are those who exhibit high performance starting from a disadvantaged socioeconomic situation. This study aims to identify the personal, school, and national factors that are associated with that resilience in the European Union (EU). METHOD The sample comprised 96556 fourth grade students from 21 EU countries participating in TIMSS-2019. Two three-level logistic regression models were specified for the overall sample. RESULTS The EU has an average of 25.67% resilient students in mathematics and 24.16% in science. Student confidence and having done prior linguistic tasks at school were the variables with the most predictive power after accounting for gender and students’ immigrant background. The European countries analyzed largely compensated for the doubly-disadvantaged situation of immigrant students. Those countries with higher proportions of low-performing students had fewer resilient students. CONCLUSIONS The educational policies in the EU member states are able to largely compensate for unfavorable starting positions; fundamentally, policies of a social nature such as support for immigrant students, families, or schools.

数学和科学的学术弹性：欧洲TIMSS-2019数据。

背景有学术韧性的学生是那些从不利的社会经济状况开始表现出优异成绩的学生。本研究旨在确定与欧盟（EU）恢复力相关的个人、学校和国家因素。方法样本包括来自21个欧盟国家的96556名四年级学生，他们参加了TIMSS-2019。为整个样本指定了两个三级逻辑回归模型。结果欧盟平均有25.67%的学生在数学方面有弹性，24.16%的学生在科学方面有弹性。在考虑性别和学生的移民背景后，学生信心和之前在学校完成过语言任务是最具预测力的变量。所分析的欧洲国家在很大程度上弥补了移民学生的双重不利处境。那些成绩较差的学生比例较高的国家，有韧性的学生较少。结论欧盟成员国的教育政策能够在很大程度上弥补不利的起步位置；从根本上讲，社会性质的政策，如对移民学生、家庭或学校的支持。
