Przezwyciężenie statusowej determinacji karier szkolnych

Overcoming the Status Determination of Educational Careers

The theoretical considerations and research questions and hypotheses presented in the book are connected to the phenomenon of academic resilience, defined as a higher probability of achieving success in school despite facing setbacks caused by the ascribed traits of the individual, his/her life circumstances and experiences. Students described as being “academically resilient” uphold a high level of educational achievements despite the presence of stressful conditions and events during their studies.

Keywords: academic resilience, social status, education career, educational achievements, social mobility.
