, Abstract
This study aimed to investigate how the influence of early tracking, as done in the
Netherlands, affects students' self-confidence and motivation to raise their academic level
through further learning. For this study, we prepared a questionnaire that we distributed to
students in our classes at our placement schools. To broaden the scope, we also collected
data from students at a non-placement school. XYX measured first-year pre-secondary
vocational education students in Hoorn. ZYZ measured first-year secondary vocational
education students in Amsterdam, and I measured second- and third-year pre-secondary
vocational education students in Alkmaar. I also collected data from fourth-year higher
general secondary education and sixth-year pre-university education students in Alkmaar. A
total of 88 students answered the questionnaire.
Students who received a different primary school recommendation than their current level
showed an increase in the percentage on low self-esteem of almost double. It is therefore
recommended to start tracking at a later age, preferably during secondary education, to
avoid wrong advice and consequently lower self-esteem.
