Effects of Grade Retention Policies: A Literature Review of Empirical Studies Applying Causal Inference

2021

The identification of the causal effects of grade retention policies is of enormous relevance for researchers and policymakers alike. Taking advantage of the availability of more detailed longitudinal datasets, researchers have been able to apply different identification strategies that address the classical problems of selection bias and unobserved heterogeneity that have plagued previous studies on the effect of retention. We present a systematic literature review of empirical studies aiming to unveil the causal effects of retention. This study underlines the need to consider and evaluate different kinds of grade retention polices as their effects vary depending on several dimensions (suc…

Factors Influencing Teachers’ Use of ICT in Class: Evidence from a Multilevel Logistic Model

2022

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become a key factor in the educational context, especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, and, correctly implemented, can help to improve academic performance. The aim of this research was to analyse the factors that influence teachers’ decisions to use ICT more- or less frequently to carry out tasks and exercises in their classes. To this end, we estimated a multilevel logistic model with census data from the individualized evaluation of students of the Community of Madrid (Spain) carried out at the end of the 2018–2019 academic year in primary and secondary education. Additionally, we applied multiple imputation techniques…

Is There Real Freedom of School Choice?: An Analysis from a Study in Chile1

2018

Between 1981 and 1990, Chile began to implement an education reform based on school choice and a financing system through vouchers. In theory, the system ensures complete freedom of choice of school by families. This article attempts to identify the existence of factors that conditioned the enrollment process in different types of schools existing nowadays in the Chilean educational system, the largest quasi-market of Latin America. Results show a social stratification and separation by schools and indicate how geographical distance and social composition are the most critical factors for families when choosing a school.

¿Cómo pueden afectar los valores faltantes la robustez de las estimaciones? Una aplicación práctica a partir de la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida (E…

2018

Habitualmente, la literatura empírica en el campo de la economía aplicada basa sus estimaciones en bases de datos que sólo contienen las observaciones con información válida para todas las variables implicadas en el análisis. En la gran mayoría de los casos, esta práctica tiene como consecuencia una pérdida de información que, a su vez,puede originar dos problemas: una menor efectividad de la estimación y un incremento en la probabilidad de llegar a una mala especificación del modelo. El objetivo del trabajo es comprobar la importancia de la imputación de datos faltantes en la minimización de ambas problemáticas. Para ello se aplica la imputación múltiplecomo alternativa para obtener estima…

Heterogeneidad en el impacto de la política de becas en la escolaridad secundaria postobligatoria en España: un análisis por subgrupos poblacionales

2013

El presente trabajo analiza el impacto de las becas sobre la probabilidad de finalizar con éxito el nivel secundario postobligatorio en España en el caso de diferentes subgrupos poblacionales. Se aplica un diseño cuasiexperimental (Propensity score matching) a partir de la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida (ECV-2006). Los resultados confirman la existencia de efectos diferenciales positivos (con relación al impacto medio) de la política educativa en el caso de las mujeres y de los alumnos provenientes de hogares desfavorecidos, demostrando la existencia de heterogeneidad en el impacto de la política analizada.

Exploring the relationship between Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and academic performance: A multilevel analysis for Spain

2021

Abstract With the world becoming increasingly digitalized, determining the relationship between the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and educational outcomes takes on special relevance for guiding educational policy decisions in a reasoned way. The objective of this research is to explore the relationship between different types of ICT use at school and at home, students' attitudes towards ICT, and academic performance, as well as to see if these associations differ according to the level of performance of the students. For this purpose, we apply multilevel regression models and quantile regression models with data from the Programme for International Student assessme…

Factors that influence the financial literacy of young Spanish consumers

2019

This study examines the development of mathematical and financial literacy skills amongst 471 students in Spain. Most studies on this topic have looked at either one or the other skill but they have not examined the relationship between the two. The use of simultaneous equations has enabled us to do so. The aim of the paper is to disentangle the factors determining the financial skills of young consumers in Spain. To do this, the PISA Financial Literacy Assessment conducted by the OECD in 2012 is used. Our paper's main contribution lies in the methodological way to deal with the empirical challenges overshadowing our study. Particularly, our methodological strategy is defined by the applica…

Impact of Bullying on Academic Performance: A Case Study for the Community of Madrid

2021

Bullying is a problem that affects children and teenagers around the world and its repercussions can endure throughout adult life. Its prevalence is, in part, a product of the lack of information and the paucity of studies which analyse the wide-ranging consequences for the individuals involved. The main objective of this research is to study the incidence of bullying on the academic performance of students in education centres in the Madrid Region. The databases used are those of Competency Tests carried out on all 10th grade students in Madrid during the year 2017. These external assessment tests evaluate Spanish language, English language, Mathematics, and Geography and History. Along wi…

Les déterminants de la réussite scolaire à l'école primaire au Brésil: une analyse multifactorielle

2016

RESUMEN: Una problemática educativa actual en Brasil es el alto porcentaje de alumnos en la escolaridad primaria que muestran un bajo nivel académico. Esta situación justifica el análisis de los determinantes del rendimiento académico en matemáticas para la totalidad de alumnos y su comparación al colectivo con un rendimiento considerado insuficiente. Para ello, se emplea una aproximación lineal y multivariante a partir de los datos contenidos en la base de datos del Sistema de Avaliação da Educação Básica 2005. En conjunto, los resultados obtenidos permiten afirmar que las dimensiones asociadas a la educabilidad resultan determinantes para comprender los rendimientos observados en la educa…

Determinantes internos y externos en el proceso de aprendizaje. Una aproximación al caso español a partir de la ECV-05

2009

El principal objetivo del trabajo es determinar el grado de influencia de los diferentes factores individuales y del entorno, familiar y social, en la capacidad de los individuos para alcanzar o no ciertos objetivos educativos, teniendo en cuenta los efectos posteriores de aquellos en relación con su inserción en el mercado de trabajo, su nivel salarial y su productividad (Card, 1999).Para ello, se ha aplicado un método de estimación de máxima verosimilitud, mediante la utilización de un logit ordenado, empleando el modulo especial de 2007 de la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida de EUROSTAT dedicado a la transmisión intergeneracional de la pobreza. Esta base de datos cuenta con valiosa inform…
