论文摘要
通常用学生和学校因素来解释种族成就差距。因此，这些差距将这些差距分解成其内部和学校间成分，以量化每组因素的整体影响。以前已经提出了三种相互竞争的方法，但每种方法都限于研究两个种族群体之间差距（例如白人和黑人）之间差距的学生学校分解。作者表明，可以将这些方法重新制定为促进新扩展的调解模型，以允许学校系统（例如教室，学区，地理区域）和多个种族群体（例如白人，黑人，西班牙裔，亚洲）中的其他水平。作者使用哥伦比亚高中学生的行政数据说明了这些扩展，并强调了他们提供的实质性见解和细微差别的政策影响。
Ethnic achievement gaps are often explained in terms of student and school factors. The decomposition of these gaps into their within- and between-school components has therefore been applied as a strategy to quantify the overall influence of each set of factors. Three competing approaches have previously been proposed, but each is limited to the study of student-school decompositions of the gap between two ethnic groups (e.g., White and Black). The authors show that these approaches can be reformulated as mediation models facilitating new extensions to allow additional levels in the school system (e.g., classrooms, school districts, geographic areas) and multiple ethnic groups (e.g., White, Black, Hispanic, Asian). The authors illustrate these extensions using administrative data for high school students in Colombia and highlight the increased substantive insights and nuanced policy implications they afford.
