This study examines the effects of key social group variables (e.g. socioeconomic status, class size, ability grouping and school type) on the science achievement of secondary school students in Canberra, Australia after controlling for student level effects (e.g. prior performance, attitudes toward school, liking of science and educational aspirations). The study employed a multilevel analysis procedure to examine the data at the student, classroom and school levels for both direct effects and cross-level interaction effects. The major finding is that sociological factors in this school system operated at the classroom level, together with cross-level interaction effects operating at the school and classroom levels, with no main effects operating at the school level to explain nearly all the variability between classrooms and schools. At the student level prior achievement, socioeconomic status, attitudes and aspirations were found to be significant but a substantial amount of the variability between students was not explained. The importance of complex group effects operating within classrooms and schools as well as between classrooms, but not between schools is emphasized. Multilevel analysis at three levels advances the systematic examination of group and sociological factors as well as individual psychological factors.
