Relational Networks, Social Trust, and Norms: A Social Capital Perspective on Students' Chances of Academic Success.
Goddard, Roger D.
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v25 n1 p59-74 Spr 2003
Elaborated a theoretical rationale for relational networks, norms, and trust as structural and functional norms of social capital that facilitate student achievement. Results of hierarchical generalized linear modeling show that the odds of fourth graders passing state-mandated assessments are modestly increased in urban schools (n=49) characterized by high social capital.
