摘要：
Contrary to the broad documentation of substantial absolute differences in mean reading achievement between academic and non-academic track students, little is known about specific strengths and weaknesses of these groups of students in reading tests. Therefore, in this study we investigated Differential Item Functioning of 100 PISA 2009 reading items comparing N = 3824 students attending academic and nonacademic school tracks in Germany. Significant interaction effects between school track and item format were found. Students of academic tracks showed specific strengths in responding to open-ended items compared to equally skilled students in non-academic tracks. Furthermore, the effects were stable even when differences on individual and social dimensions between the groups of students as well as compositional aspects of their school environments were controlled for. Institutional and compositional aspects of school tracking and their effects on reading performance were discussed. © 2015, Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden.
