教育机构是构建友谊机会的环境。在种族多样化的教室里，种族间的友谊可以是一个重要的资源。进入“正确”或“错误”的人群被认为会影响学校的表现以及辍学的风险。本研究利用不莱梅市小学四年级学生的社会网络数据，分析了移民和当地人在学校班级网络中的社会资本。在友谊网络和做家庭作业网络中，社会资本联系的高低是有区别的。这种区分将通过两个标准来进行：首先，高和低的社会资本关系将根据家庭在“客观化状态”下的文化资本来定义，以家中的书籍数量来衡量。第二，这两种不同的关系将通过自我的朋友或家庭作业伙伴的平均成绩来区分。指数随机图模型表明，土耳其移民的孩子有一个更高的倾向，使他们的家庭作业与其他土耳其儿童，比德国本土的德国人做。然而，当我们将网络限制在包含高水平文化资本的关系时，很明显，土耳其儿童与Alteri的关系几率要低得多，Alteri要么在家里拥有高水平的文化资本，要么平均成绩好。这些研究结果将与教育机构中的社会资本理论进行讨论。
Educational Institutions are contexts which structure the opportunity to form friendships. In ethnically diverse classrooms, inter-ethnic friendships can be an important resource. Getting into the “right” or “wrong” crowd is supposed to have effects on school performance as well as on the risk of dropping out from school. Using social network data from 4th graders in elementary schools in Bremen the study analyses social capital in school-class based networks of immigrants and natives. In friendship networks as well as networks of doing homework it will be distinguished between high and low social-capital ties. This distinction will be made by two criteria: First, high and low social-capital ties will be defined according to families’ cultural capital in the “objectified state”, measured by the number of books at home. Secondly, these two different kinds of ties will be distinguished by the grade point average of Ego’s friend or homework-partner. Exponential random graph models show that children of Turkish immigrants have a much higher tendency to make their homework together with other Turkish children, than native Germans do with Germans. However, when we restrict the networks to ties containing high levels of cultural capital it becomes obvious that Turkish children have much lower odds of ties to Alteri who either have high levels of cultural capital at home or good grade point averages. Theses results will be discussed with regard to the theory of social capital in educational institutions.
