Putting Inputs to Work in Elementary Schools: What Can Be Done in the Philippines?
The paper consists in estimating a value-added educational production function of primary education in the Philippines. The information used match household and school-based survey data. The Huber White technique is used so as to take into account the problem of heteroscedasticity when merging individual pupil variables with class/school variables; this procedure helps relate the outcome side of the production (student learning) that concerns the individual level with the input side (school inputs such as teacher qualification, class-size, availability of pedagogical materials, ..) that concerns an aggregate level (class or school). The results show that students taught by a teachers holdin…
Les modèles multiniveaux dans l'analyse écologique : le cas de la recherche en éducation
Multilevel analysis are a recent development of mathematical modelling, adapted to the problem of ecological analysis in social sciences, in other words capable of producing the effects of surroundings on individuals' behaviour. One of the ideal fields for multilevel analysis is in the educational sector, where students' learning takes place in particular class and on particular premises. This article is concerned with a comparison between the classical treatment and the multilevel treatment of the problem of ecological analysis, from both a theorical and an empirical results point of view.
