Educational strategies to reduce the achievement gap: a systematic review

Despite continuous efforts, the educational achievement gap is still, in most societies, a significant obstacle to ensuring more equity and social justice. Much of this inequality derives from belonging to historically discriminated groups. Indeed, coming from a lower socioeconomic status (SES), of an immigrant, or descendant situation, being Black, Hispanic, Gypsy, or any other racialized condition, still strongly influences academic attainment, school dropout and career choices. However, many innovative strategies and policies have been implemented to minimize this bias. This investigation proposes to gather, assess, and analyze these most recent interventions and perceive which of these present a better level of efficacy. Using the PRISMA guidelines, this Systematic Review of Literature yielded 27 studies that fit the inclusion criteria. The analysis considered the level of efficacy, intervention method and scope. Results show that targeted strategies, such as working on reading abilities and school subjects' focused interventions are more effective in improving minorities' and lower SES students' attainment. Other beneficial initiatives include whole-school, state and community-based projects, innovative pedagogies, and, finally, programs that deal with the psycho-social consequences of racism and discrimination, e.g., the internalization of negative perceptions and expectations. Overall, there is a strong need to develop mixed-method and longitudinal designs that will further our knowledge about what type of measure works, while considering a situated and contextual perspective, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.

“…Furthermore, in practice, compensatory education programs have often presented poor results and their accomplishments have mostly been below expectations, especially regarding their attempts to improve the academic performance of the most disadvantaged students. Ultimately, what has recurrently been questioned is their ability to improve schools' and students' achievement, and thereby contribute to the social mobility of disadvantaged students [1, 2,5,[11][12][13]. This fact appears to be particularly relevant for high school contexts given that, as stated by [14] (p. 198), "Whereas the social and emotional components of school climate are often perceived as more important in elementary and middle schools, academic performance is a more central mission of high schools".…”

A central goal of the Portuguese compensatory education program—Territórios Educativos de Intervenção Prioritária (TEIP)—is the improvement of the academic performance of socioeconomically disadvantaged students. In this article, we seek to understand whether the schools involved in the program have been successful in reducing their academic performance gaps—as measured by grades in national exams—relative to non-TEIP schools. We also analyze the evolution in the proportion of national exams carried out in TEIP schools relative to non-TEIP schools, as these are a proxy for students’ desire to proceed into higher education. The analysis points to a general failure of the program in reducing the gap between TEIP and non-TEIP public schools regarding academic performance. In addition, the proportion of national exams undertaken in TEIP schools has been decreasing. These results question TEIP’s ability not only to enhance academic performance, but also to drive students into higher education.

O artigo analisa efeitos da Política Territórios Educativos de Intervenção Prioritária (TEIP), em curso em Portugal, como medida de promoção da aprendizagem e sucesso escolar, a partir da caracterização do quadro político e de percepções de professores do ensino superior que têm como foco de estudo políticas educacionais e curriculares e de professores gestores de agrupamentos de escolas. Metodologicamente, o estudo configura-se em uma orientação qualitativa que utilizou documentos legais e entrevistas reflexivas com três professoras do ensino superior da área da educação e três professoras gestoras de Agrupamentos de Escolas da Região Metropolitana do Porto com intervenção ativa nas políticas de gestão curricular e no programa TEIP. Como resultados conclui-se que os TEIP são uma política de discriminação positiva que se alinha, em seus princípios e propósitos, com os conceitos de justiça social e curricular e tem vindo, no contexto das escolas/agrupamentos de escolas, promovendo movimentos de mudança e mais-valias nos modos de pensar a atuar de professores e diretores. As melhorias no sucesso escolar têm vindo a acontecer gradativamente e convivem com limites que extrapolam o âmbito escolar. Nestas, identificam-se tensões entre a dimensão do cuidar, proteger, promover o desenvolvimento pessoal e social e promover o sucesso escolar.
