Transmitting Rights: Effective Cooperation, Inter-gender Contact, and Student Achievement
在巴基斯坦的实验中,教师观看支持女性权利的视觉叙事后,自身和学生的性别态度更平等,学生与异性合作能力提升,数学成绩在混合性别学习组中提高。
We provide experimental evidence of teacher-to-student transmission of gender attitudes in Pakistan. We randomly show teachers a pro-women’s rights visual narrative. Treated teachers increase their and students’ support for women’s rights, unbiasedness in gender implicit association tests (IATs), and willingness to petition parliament for greater gender equality. Students improve coordination and cooperation with the opposite gender. Effects are larger when teachers teach a gender-rights curriculum. Mathematics achievement increases for classrooms assigned to form mixed-gender study groups treated with an intense program (visual narrative and curriculum), while absent in same-sex study groups. Gender attitudes are transmissible and cooperation improves student outcomes.
