The theoretical framework of the paper was Bourdieu’s theory of cultural and social reproduction (1977a). The main objectives were an analysis of the association between the students’ cultural capital and their school achievement and analyses of the predictive power of the cultural capital theory in the context of educational decisions in the transition to tertiary education. In the analysis of school achievement, sequential multiple regression analysis was used, while in the analyses of educational decisions logistic regression analyses were performed (binary and multinomial logistic regression). The results indicated that cultural capital had statistically significant correlation with school performance. Among the cultural capital indicators, statistically significant predictors of the probability of the intention to enrol into vocational higher education were the material dimension of cultural capital and naturalness of higher education aspirations of students. For the prediction of the probability of intention to enrol in university, significant predictors were embodied cultural capital, the naturalness of higher education aspirations of students, and father’s educational level. The study results on a selected sample of graduates tend to support Bourdieu’s theory of cultural reproduction through education.  \nKeywords: cultural capital; educational decisions; educational inequality; school achievement  \n1 Institute for Social Research, Zagreb, Croatia; [iva@idi.hr](iva@idi.hr).  \n150 the role of cultural capital in higher education access and institutional choice  \nVloga kulturnega kapitala pri dostopu do visokošolskeizobrazbe in institucionalne izbire  \nIva Košutić  \n• Namen prispevka je raziskati socialne neenakosti v šolskih dosežkih in pri sprejemu izobraževalnih odločitev dijakov zadnjega letnika srednje šole v mestu Zagreb in občini Zagreb (N = 534) . Teoretski okvir prispevka predstavlja Bourdieuejeva teorija kulturne in socialne reprodukcije (1977a). Glavna cilja sta bila analiza povezanosti med kulturnim kapitalom dijakov in njihovim šolskim uspehom ter analiza napovedne močiteorije kulturnega kapitala v kontekstu izobraževalnih odločitev v prehodu na terciarno raven izobraževanja. Pri analizi šolskih dosežkov jebila uporabljena analiza sekvenčne multiple regresije, medtem ko je bilapri analizi izobraževalnih odločitev uporabljena logistična regresija (binarna in multinominalna logistična regresija) . Rezultati so pokazali, da je kulturni kapital statistično pomembno povezan s šolsko uspešnostjo. Med indikatorji kulturnega kapitala so kot statistično pomembninapovedniki verjetnosti namere za vpis v poklicno srednješolskoizobraževanje predstavljeni opredmetena dimenzija kulturnega kapitala in aspiracije dijakov. Pri napovedovanju verjetnosti namere za vpis na univerzo so bili pomembni napovedniki utelešen kulturni kapital, srednješolske aspiracije dijakov in izobrazbena raven očeta. Rezultati študije na izbranem vzorcu diplomantov podpirajo Bourdieujevo teorijokulturne reprodukcije v polju izobraževanja.  \nKljučne besede: kulturni kapital, izobraževalne odločitve, izobraževalna neenakost, šolski dosežki  \nIntroduction  \nEducational inequalities have long been the interest of sociologists of education as numerous studies continuously emphasise the association between students’ social background and their educational performance. The period after World War II was marked by the need to ‘change the elitist nature of universities’ (Guri-Rosenblit, Sebkova, & Teichler, 2007, p. 1) by widening the access to students from all social strata, with expectations that wider access would eventually lead to greater opportunity ","cbCaithvYw4Nf6JK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaithvYw4Nf6JK","pdf",223433,21,"English","# Introduction\n## Research aims and theoretical framework\n## Methodology and statistical models\n## Findings on school achievement\n## Findings on educational decisions\n## Implications for cultural reproduction theory","[{\"question\":\"What is the main research aim of the paper?\",\"answer\":\"To explore social inequalities in school achievement and how students’ educational decisions are shaped when transitioning to tertiary education, focusing on the role of cultural capital.\"},{\"question\":\"How is school achievement analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"The paper uses sequential multiple regression analysis to assess associations between cultural capital and school performance.\"},{\"question\":\"Which cultural capital indicators predict different higher education enrollment intentions?\",\"answer\":\"Vocational higher education intention is predicted by the material dimension of cultural capital and the naturalness of students’ aspirations, while university intention is predicted by embodied cultural capital, aspiration naturalness, and father’s educational level.\"}]","The Role of Cultural Capital in Higher Education Access and Institutional Choice | PDF",1792086159,53]
