Is ADHD a determinant of grade retention? A case study of the Flemish secondary education system
No full textStudents diagnosed with ADHD are at risk of academic underachievement and may face stigmatization due to learning difficulties. The disorder also affects personality attributes such as frustration management, emotion regulation and self-control, leading to school misconduct and a strained teacher-student relationship. As a result, students with ADHD are more likely to face school detention or other disciplinary measures. In Flanders, grade retention can be used as a disciplinary response to misconduct. Hence, it is hypothesized that students with ADHD have an increased likelihood of being retained. Grade retention leads to a three to seven times higher chance of dropping out early, illustrating the need to study its potential determinants. What remains unclear, however, is whether a potential overrepresentation of students with ADHD would be caused by lower academic achievement levels, school misconduct resulting from specific personality attributes, stigmatization related to the diagnosis, or a combination of these factors. Therefore, this study examines whether ADHD remains a determinant of grade retention when accounting for academic performance and school misconduct. Longitudinal logistic regression analyses will be carried out on the Flemish LiSO dataset, in which 6,265 students from 50 schools were followed throughout secondary education over a period of six years (2013-2019). Academic achievement was repeatedly tested in mathematics, Dutch, and French, while school misconduct was based on both self-reported and teacher-reported data. Overall, studying the underlying causes of ADHD as a determinant of grade retention may contribute to the development of more effective educational interventions tailored to students with learning disorders
