TL;DR: A prominent explanation of intergenerational educational inequality is Bourdieu's cultural reproduction theory as mentioned in this paper, and previous studies have frequently shown that children's cultural capital relativizes with their parents' cultural capital.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the interplay of social and cultural capital orientation, cognitive learning ability, and family background, and found that literacy practices and global-cultural competence are correlated to students' cognitive ability.
Abstract: In the educational context, the necessity of recognizing the structure of relations among social and educational institutions by examining how individuals’ different social and cultural experiences affect the educational learning outcomes towards global digital communication. The current study examined the interplay of Social and Cultural Capital orientation, cognitive learning ability, and family background. The descriptive correlational research design was employed. It adopted two research instruments, namely the Social and Cultural Capital Questionnaire (SCCQ) and the Otis-Lennon Scholastic Ability tests (OLSAT), to a total of 377 undergraduate college students of select universities in Indonesia. The results of the study showed that the respondents manifest a high level of social and cultural capital orientation, with literacy having the highest factor. Likewise, the respondents have an average cognitive level of ability. Test of difference showed that respondents whose parents with high educational achievement exhibit high social competence, social solidarity, cultural competence, and extraversion, social solidity, and extraversion. Similarly, fathers’ education is the single variable which spelled difference on the student’s cognitive ability implying students whose fathers have high academic qualification exhibit high cognitive ability. Test of relationship showed that literacy practices and global-cultural competence are correlated to students’ cognitive ability. Finally, family income is a predictor of students’ high level of cognitive ability and social and cultural capital orientation. The implications of the results were discussed within, and suggestions were made for future research.

TL;DR: In this paper, PISA-I-plus-Langsschnittdaten of N = 2539 Schulern und ihren Mathematiklehrkraften in Hinblick auf Unterstutzungsverhalten, Mathematikkompetenz, and Schulnoten untersucht.
Abstract: Schulen sind Bourdieu zufolge Mittelschichtsinstitutionen, die entsprechende Verhaltensweisen erwarten und pramieren und so zur Benachteiligung von Schulerinnen und Schulern aus niedrigeren Sozialschichten beitragen. Doch welche Rolle spielen dabei Lehrkrafte, die – gepragt von ihrer eigenen Herkunft – als zentrale Akteure die Schulkultur reprasentieren? Der Beitrag untersucht, ob Schuler von Lehrkraften profitieren, die aus ahnlichen sozialen Verhaltnissen stammen. Dazu werden PISA-I-Plus-Langsschnittdaten von N = 2539 Schulern und ihren Mathematiklehrkraften im Hinblick auf Unterstutzungsverhalten, Mathematikkompetenz und Schulnoten untersucht. Die Ergebnisse aus Propensity-Score-Matching-Analysen zeigen, dass Schuler bei einer sozial ahnlichen Lehrkraft weder besser lernen noch bessere Noten erzielen. Hingegen fuhlen sich Schuler unabhangig von ihrer sozialen Herkunft weniger unterstutzt von Lehrkraften aus Arbeiter- und Nichtakademikerfamilien. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass Lehrkrafte aus niedrigeren Sozialschichten nur aufgrund ihrer Herkunft kaum zur Eindammung von sozialen Bildungsungleichheiten beitragen.
