Remedying Education: Evidence from Two Randomized Experiments in India
通过印度孟买和瓦多达拉的两项随机实验,评估了补救教育项目(由社区年轻女性教授落后儿童基础读写和算术)和计算机辅助学习项目(四年级学生每周两小时共享电脑玩数学游戏)对教育质量的影响。
This paper presents the results of two experiments conducted in Mumbai and Vadodara, India, designed to evaluate ways to improve the quality of education in urban slums. The authors argue that resources alone may not be sufficient to improve educational outcomes. The authors study the impact of a remedial education programme which hired young women from the community to teach basic literacy and numeracy skills to children lagging behind in government schools. A computer-assisted learning programme also provided each child in the fourth grade with two hours of shared computer time per week, in which students played educational games that reinforced mathematics skills.
