Deutschland braucht dringend ein #Bildungsverlaufsregister um gute Forschung zu ermöglichen & den bildungspolitischen Blindflug zu beenden. Details in unserem (K. Schneider, @IngoIsphording, @CK_Spiess, F. Hertweck und ich) neuen VfS Standpunktpapier (cf. Kapitel Bildungsdaten).

Die (Forschungs-)Dateninfrastruktur in Deutschland ist teils stark verbesserungswürdig. Das Thema ist enorm wichtig - gerade jetzt, da ein neues Forschungsdatengesetz erarbeitet wird. 6 Stellungnahmen des VfS zeigen auf, was sich ändern muss: https://t.co/gvuaiONV55

@KolemanStrumpf @instrumenthull @J2dubyas What is this about? I’m not following.

[Sönke H. Matthewes @reflecmec]

@florianederer @wagonomics „this setup“ refers to EB5 or the new proposal? And could you elaborate on why you think one or the other is better? Thanks!

[Sönke H. Matthewes @reflecmec]

Much more in the paper ofc. Check it out here in case you're interested. It's open access. https://t.co/mtbwI3qiRf

Camilla Borgna and I have a new paper forthcoming in Economics of Education Review.
We study how marginal increases in the flexibility of Germany’s between-school tracked school system have affected student attainment.
A short 🧵on what we do & find. [1/n]

CS don't raise Abitur attainment likely bc they don't provide a better peer environment than lower tracks bc the academic-track still cream-skims the best students. Despite their name, CS fail to deliver a truly comprehensive alternative within an otherwise tracked system. [n/n]

@Prashant_Garg_ Cool! When I asked it to only use uploaded papers, it indeed dropped the imaginary ones and gave me two real ones. I just tried without the explicit instruction in a new CClara window, but atm it says that it "can’t do more advanced data analysis right now." Will try again later!

[Sönke H. Matthewes @reflecmec]

@Prashant_Garg_ Maybe I can even post the results here? https://t.co/viJykrJhx2

[Sönke H. Matthewes @reflecmec]

@Prashant_Garg_ but none of them are real! (At least judging by a quick Google search - also never heard of any of them. Paper IDs are: 1023, 1145, 1307, 1489). What's going on here? Thank you! [2/2]

@RomanFolw @lakens Ok I agree that we shouldn’t teach this. But it is true that if they don’t overlap then the difference is significant. It’s just when they do then we can’t directly tell, right?? (Or am I missing something here?)
