1 International vs. national classifications of education: Advantages and limitations in explaining values and attitudes Zbyszek Sawiński Educational Research Institute Poland
2 Problem The cross-country differences in survey results have two sources: o the actual differences between countries; o the differences in quality of measurement. The measurement instruments which are not properly designed cannot identify important details of what is being measured. o As Willem Saris demonstrated in his Keynote Speech, it decreases the correlations between variables. When you find no effect of education on values and attitudes in your country, please check whether the measurement of education has been made properly. o My presentation is about how to overcome some limitations connected with measuring education in surveys. 2
3 ESS 2010: Ten selected questions on attitudes variable ppltrst sclact gincdif imdfetn freehms mnrgtjb wmcpwrk rlgdgr stflife happy question wording / answers A8. Would you say that most people can be trusted, or that you can t be too careful in dealing with people? Scale: 00=You can t be too careful = Most people can be trusted C4. Compared to other people of your age, how often would you say you take part in social activities? Scale: 1=Much less than most, 2=Less than most, 3=About the same, 4=More than most, 5=Much more than most. B30. The government should take measures to reduce differences in income levels. Scale: 1=Disagree strongly, 2=Disagree, 3=Neither agree nor disagree, 4=Agree, 5=Agree strongly. B36. How about people of a different race or ethnic group from most [country] people? Scale: 1=Allow none, 2=Allow a few, 3=Allow some, 4=Allow many to come and live here. B31. Gay men and lesbians should be free to live their own life as they wish. Scale: 1=Disagree strongly, 2=Disagree, 3=Neither agree nor disagree, 4=Agree, 5=Agree strongly. G5. When jobs are scarce, men should have more right to a job than women. Scale: 1=Disagree strongly, 2=Disagree, 3=Neither agree nor disagree, 4=Agree, 5=Agree strongly. G4. A woman should be prepared to cut down on her paid work for the sake of her family. Scale: 1=Disagree strongly, 2=Disagree, 3=Neither agree nor disagree, 4=Agree, 5=Agree strongly. C21. Regardless of whether you belong to a particular religion, how religious would you say you are?

5 Three measures of education in the ESS The EISCED classification common for all countries I II IIIb IIIa IV V1 V2 Less than lower secondary Lower secondary Lower tier upper secondary Upper tier upper secondary Advanced vocational, sub-degree Lower tertiary education, BA level Higher tertiary education, MA+ level The number of years of education F16. About how many years of education have you completed, whether full-time or part-time? Please report these in full-time equivalents and include compulsory years of schooling. % The national classifications specific for countries United Kingdom 3 variables Ukraine 14 Switzerland 23 Sweden 20 Spain 25 Slovenia 12 Slovakia 19 Russia 11 Portugal 17 Poland 14 Norway 14 Netherlands 17 Israel 18 Ireland 18 Hungary 14 Greece 15 Germany 3 variables France 26 Finland 14 Estonia 15 Denmark 12 Czech Republic 12 Cyprus 12 Croatia 14 Bulgaria 12 Belgium 18 5

7 Three methodological pitfalls when measuring education 1. Categories of classification are too internally diverse; 2. Distinct types of education are classified to the same category; 3. Too narrow levels of education are defined, which are not represented in a sample. 7

26 Conclusions The EISCED classification provides a limited picture of how education shapes the values and attitudes in the ESS countries. Two main shortcomings of EISCED: o combining distinct levels of education within the same category (too internally diverse categories); o maintaining the same set of categories in all countries, even if some categories are not well matched to the actual education system. National classifications can help to reach a better insight into the bottom categories of education, but not in all countries. Combining ISCED categories may be a solution when you can not identify the differences between the education levels due to the small sample size. 26
