Abstract | Invited by the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), during the Winter 2011/12, the author gave a series of lectures about ‘Statistical methods in sociological research of education’. This text comprises an elaboration of two of the lectures discussing models of educational stages. The author considers two kinds of such models, both dealing with a sequence of two learning frames. Models of the first kind assume that individuals sequentially participate in both learning frames; models of the second kind involve a selection process that concerns transitions to the second learning frame. Following the introduction of these two kinds of models, the author takes up the distinction between primary and secondary effects of the family background. First, he considers the standard approach where primary effects concern individual’s level of academic performance, and secondary effects concern transition probabilities given fixed performance levels. Then he introduces an alternative approach where primary effects concern individual’s opportunities to make a transition (which in turn may depend on academic performance), and secondary effects correspondingly concern how they actually use these opportunities.
