- Abstract
Documenting disparities in academic achievement is a key element in educational system monitoring but it is limited to a set of demographic categories to document injustice prevalent in the system. The selection of categories reveals a normative understanding of educational justice that ignores other causes of injustice. Using the example of effect of social background it is argued that a pedagogical perspective on educational processes leads to a more nuanced understanding of educational success than a sociological point of view. Introducing the distinction of legitimate and illegitimate causes of heterogeneity the authors demonstrate that causal mechanisms are complex and differences can be legitimately if they are based on autonomous decisions even if they do not follow meritocratic principles.
