本文探讨了在爱尔兰共和国，逃学水平是由个人社会阶层和学校的社会组合构成的，在爱尔兰共和国，关于逃学和学生成绩之间关系的研究有限。根据一项针对年轻人的全国性调查，工薪阶层和Traveller学生的逃学水平更高。此外，逃学在以工人阶级为主的学校中更为普遍，可能是因为年轻人认为逃学的环境不那么支持他们，更无序。实证分析是在个人和机构习惯概念以及抵抗理论的背景下进行的。我们的发现表明，学校的机构习惯是影响年轻人逃学水平的一个重要因素。虽然逃学是学生抵抗学校制度的一种形式，但它会重现社会阶层不平等，因为从长远来看，它与更负面的教育和劳动力市场结果有关。
This paper explores the way in which truancy levels are structured by individual social class and the social mix of the school within the Republic of Ireland, where limited research is available on the relationship between truancy and student outcomes. Drawing on a national survey of young people, truancy levels were found to be higher among working‐class and Traveller students. In addition, truancy is more prevalent in predominantly working‐class schools, perhaps because young people see them as less supportive and more disorderly environments. The empirical analyses are situated within the context of the concepts of individual and institutional habitus as well as resistance theory. Our findings suggest the institutional habitus of the school is a strong factor in influencing truancy levels among young people. While truancy operates as a form of student resistance to the school system, it serves to reproduce social class inequalities since it is associated with more negative educational and labour market outcomes in the longer term.
