This volume examines the specific effects that schools have on the
performance of immigrant students and linguistic minority groups.
Especially in the European context this study fills a gap in examining
the effects that schools have on these students’ performance and
performance differentiation, taking into account school related
factors such as resources and teachers, and the influence of other
variables like mother tongue and socioeconomic status. This report on
an ongoing research project in Portugal examines state schools within
the same district, in the same tests over the same assessment period.
The study is based on the following set of relationships: between
schools that administer proficiency tests to their non-native
students; schools that do not use such tests; and schools with
verifiable support programs (including physical and digital
materials); and between the effect of the school and the predictive
values of the nationality, mother tongue and socioeconomic status
variables on the performance of non-native students of Portuguese.
