Applying Organizational Research to Public School Reform: The Effects of Teacher Human and Social Capital on Student Performance
研究教师人力资本和社会资本对学生成绩增长的影响，发现特定情境和任务的人力资本及部分社会资本指标能预测学生成绩提升，团队层面的平均学历和横向联系强度也有显著作用。
We investigated the effects of teacher human and social capital on growth in student performance in a sample of 1,013 teachers organized into 239 grade teams. We found that teacher human capital that is specific to a setting and task, and some indicators of teacher social capital, predicted student performance improvement. At the team level, average educational attainment and horizontal tie strength were significant predictors of student improvement. We provide some evidence that team horizontal tie strength and density moderate the relationship between teacher ability and student performance. Implications of our multilevel analysis for theory, research, and policy are discussed.
