Conventional wisdom and some empirical research suggest that study abroad programs enhance skills and personal growth in ways that translate into success in the labor market. However, this research is limited by its inability to address sources of selection bias that may confound the positive relationship between study abroad experience and labor-market success. To overcome these limitations, we conduct a field experiment where we submitted fictitious resumes to potential employers, randomizing some resumes to list study abroad experience. With this resume audit, we estimate the causal relationship between participation in study abroad experience and the likelihood of receiving a callback from a potential employer. We also tested for potential heterogeneities by the location (i.e., Asia versus Europe) and length (i.e., two weeks versus one year) of the study abroad experience. Compared to resumes that list no study abroad experience, resumes that list study abroad experience in Asia regardless of length are about 20 percent more likely to receive a callback for an interview if the resume listed study abroad experience. The difference in rates increases to 25 percent when comparing resumes without study abroad experience to those that list two-week programs in Asia. Resumes that list study abroad experience in Europe for one year are 20 percent less likely to receive any callback and 35 percent less likely to receive a call back for an interview, relative to resumes that do not list study abroad experience. Implications about the value of study abroad are discussed.
传统观点和一些实证研究表明,出国留学项目可以提高技能和个人成长,从而转化为在劳动力市场上的成功。然而,这项研究的局限性在于它无法解决选择偏见的来源,这种偏见可能会混淆留学经历与劳动力市场成功之间的积极关系。为了克服这些限制,我们进行了一项实地实验,我们向潜在雇主提交了虚构的简历,随机挑选了一些简历,列出了海外留学经历。通过这份简历审计,我们估计了参加海外留学经历和收到潜在雇主回调的可能性之间的因果关系。我们还根据留学地点(即亚洲与欧洲)和留学时间长短(即两周与一年)测试了潜在的异质性。与没有海外留学经历的简历相比,如果简历中列出了海外留学经历,那么无论简历长短,列出亚洲留学经历的简历获得面试回调的可能性都要高出20%左右。如果将没有海外留学经历的简历与那些在亚洲有两周学习经历的简历进行比较,这一差距将扩大到25%。与没有列出留学经历的简历相比,列出在欧洲一年留学经历的简历收到回电的可能性要低20%,收到面试回电的可能性要低35%。讨论了出国留学价值的含义。

The Assessment of Faith and Learning 信仰与学习的评估
Pub Date : 2019-11-13 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3486401
B. Green, Albert Cheng, David I. Smith
The Practicing Faith Survey (PFS) is a new assessment tool designed to measure the extent to which schoolchildren connect their faith to learning. This paper reviews the landscape of educational assessment and argues that assessment remains a critical element in the design of Christian teaching and learning. It suggests that unease around the concept of educational measurement leads to limited attempts to assess faith formation in the context of learning. The paper discusses PFS as a way to reframe the design process consistent with distinctively Christian practices of teaching and learning.
实践信仰调查(PFS)是一项新的评估工具,旨在衡量学童将信仰与学习联系起来的程度。本文回顾了教育评估的景观,并认为评估仍然是设计基督教教与学的关键因素。它表明,对教育测量概念的不安导致了在学习背景下评估信仰形成的有限尝试。本文讨论了PFS作为一种重新构建设计过程的方式,与独特的基督教教与学的实践相一致。

Assessing Christian Learning: Vocation, Practices, and Investment 评估基督徒学习:职业、实践和投资
Pub Date : 2019-11-13 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3486433
David I. Smith, Mia Kurkechian, B. Green, Albert Cheng
This paper describes a new initiative co-funded by the Kuyers Institute for Christian Teaching and Learning at Calvin University and Cardus. The initiative builds upon past Cardus work on assessing Christian school outcomes as well as the Kuyers Institute’s work on Christian pedagogical practices. The project has developed a new online assessment tool to help Christian secondary schools assess the Christian formation that they seek to offer their students and review their own educational practices. This tool, the Practicing Faith Survey, will be piloted in an initial cluster of schools in 2020. It asks students to self-report on their investment in faith-informed practices that are integral to the student role and uses their responses both to provide formative individual feedback and to offer schools aggregate data on this form of student investment. Here we will unpack some key ideas that have informed our work, focusing in turn on questions concerning faith, vocation, and practices.
本文描述了由加尔文大学和卡都斯的库耶斯基督教教学与学习研究所共同资助的一项新倡议。该倡议建立在过去卡德斯在评估基督教学校成果方面的工作以及库耶斯研究所在基督教教学实践方面的工作。该项目开发了一种新的在线评估工具,以帮助基督教中学评估他们为学生提供的基督教形成,并审查他们自己的教育实践。这一工具,即实践信仰调查,将于2020年在最初的一批学校进行试点。它要求学生自我报告他们对信仰知情实践的投资,这些实践是学生角色不可或缺的一部分,并利用他们的回答提供形成性的个人反馈,并向学校提供有关这种形式的学生投资的汇总数据。在这里,我们将揭示一些影响我们工作的关键思想,依次关注有关信仰、职业和实践的问题。

Parental Occupational Choice and Children's Entry into a Stem Field 父母的职业选择与孩子进入Stem领域
Pub Date : 2019-09-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3457307

We explore the intergenerational occupational transmission between parents and their children as it pertains to entry into the STEM field. Using the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002, we study student’s aspirations to work in a STEM field and eventual STEM education and employment. We show how these patterns change depending on whether the student’s parents work in a STEM field. We find strong effects of parental occupation type on student’s STEM outcomes that are heterogeneous by student gender. High school boys are more likely to aspire to work in STEM if one of their parents do so. By adulthood, both boys and girls have a higher probability of majoring and working in a STEM field if their parents also do, and in this case, estimated effects are stronger for girls despite a lack of effects on high school girls’ aspirations. For girls but not for boys, having a parent working in STEM increases the probability of entering the STEM field in adulthood above and beyond aspirations to enter the STEM field during adolescence.
我们探讨了父母和孩子之间的代际职业传递,因为它涉及到进入STEM领域。利用2002年的教育纵向研究,我们研究了学生在STEM领域工作的愿望,以及最终的STEM教育和就业。我们展示了这些模式如何根据学生的父母是否在STEM领域工作而变化。我们发现父母职业类型对学生STEM结果的强烈影响因学生性别而异。高中男生更有可能渴望在STEM领域工作,如果他们的父母中有一人这样做的话。到成年时,如果父母也这样做,男孩和女孩都有更高的可能性在STEM领域主修和工作,在这种情况下,尽管对高中女生的抱负缺乏影响,但估计对女孩的影响更大。对于女孩,而不是男孩,父母在STEM领域工作增加了成年后进入STEM领域的可能性,超出了在青春期进入STEM领域的愿望。

Inside the Black Box: Stakeholder Perceptions on the Value of Arts Field Trips 黑箱内部:利益相关者对艺术实地考察价值的看法
Pub Date : 2019-05-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3382486

This descriptive, qualitative study, an extension of an experimental primary study, documents stakeholders’ experiences and perceptions of attending multiple field trips where urban elementary students in fourth and fifth grades were randomly assigned to receive three arts field trips including an art museum, a live theater performance, and a symphony concert. Evidence of declining K-12 attendance to educational cultural or arts field trips has been mounting for decades. Further, minority students in struggling schools and their teachers report attending fewer field trip experiences, as well as limited access to arts experiences in their schools. The full impact of this declining and restricted access to arts and culture on social-emotional learning (SEL) as well as on other academic outcomes is unknown. However, rigorous empirical evidence supporting the educational benefits of culturally enriching field trips continues to amass. I find that adult as well as student stakeholders report the importance of experience and exposure as the main impacts of educational arts field trips. Additionally, I find that classroom teachers support and advocate for experiential field trips for their students and consider it an important part of the job of educating students in their schools and community. Further, students make meaning from these experiences and articulate that meaning in intricate detail months after the field trips occur. Students also recall field trips from years past, connecting new experiences to prior learning, thus indicating that these are important and memorable experiences for them. I also find evidence of student-to-student connection via common experience, and shared meaning and learning. Lastly, students advocate for these experiences for themselves and for their peers, and articulate the importance of these experiences with poignant and compelling detail.
这项描述性质的研究是一项实验性初步研究的延伸,记录了利益相关者参加多次实地考察的经验和看法。在实地考察中,城市小学四年级和五年级的学生被随机分配参加三次艺术实地考察,包括艺术博物馆、现场戏剧表演和交响乐音乐会。几十年来,越来越多的证据表明,参加教育文化或艺术实地考察的K-12学生人数在减少。此外,在处境艰难的学校里,少数族裔学生和他们的老师报告说,他们参加实地考察的经历更少,在学校里接触艺术体验的机会也很有限。艺术和文化机会的减少和限制对社会情感学习(SEL)以及其他学术成果的全面影响尚不清楚。然而,越来越多的严谨的经验证据支持丰富文化的实地考察对教育的好处。我发现成人和学生利益相关者都报告了经验和接触作为教育艺术实地考察的主要影响的重要性。此外,我发现课堂老师支持和提倡学生的体验式实地考察,并认为这是教育学校和社区学生工作的重要组成部分。此外,学生们从这些经历中获得意义,并在实地考察几个月后以复杂的细节表达出这些意义。学生们还会回忆起过去几年的实地考察,将新的经历与之前的学习联系起来,从而表明这些经历对他们来说是重要而难忘的。我还发现了学生之间通过共同的经历、共同的意义和学习而建立联系的证据。最后,学生们为自己和同龄人倡导这些经历,并以尖锐而引人注目的细节阐明这些经历的重要性。

Is Collegiate Political Correctness Fake News? Relationships between Grades and Ideology 大学政治正确是假新闻吗?年级与意识形态的关系
Pub Date : 2019-04-08 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3383704

While considerable quantitative research demonstrates ideological liberalism among American professors, only qualitative work examines whether this affects undergraduate education. Using the HERI dataset surveying students in their first and fourth years in college (n=7,207), we use OLS regressions to test whether students’ political beliefs are associated with reported college grades and perceived collegiate experiences. We find that while standardized test scores are the best predictors of grade point average, ideology also has impacts. Even with controls for SES, demographics, and SAT scores, liberal students report higher college grades and closer relationships with faculty. Nevertheless, conservative students consistently show higher levels of satisfaction with college courses and experiences, and higher high school grades. We discuss implications.
虽然大量的定量研究证明了美国教授中存在意识形态自由主义,但只有定性研究考察了这是否影响了本科教育。使用HERI数据集调查了大学一年级和四年级的学生(n=7,207),我们使用OLS回归来测试学生的政治信仰是否与报告的大学成绩和感知的大学经历相关。我们发现,虽然标准化考试成绩是平均绩点的最佳预测指标,但意识形态也有影响。即使控制了社会经济地位、人口统计和SAT分数,自由派学生的大学成绩也更高,与教师的关系也更密切。然而,保守的学生始终对大学课程和经历表现出更高的满意度,高中成绩也更高。我们讨论影响。

This paper presents second year results from the first ever multi-visit, longitudinal experiment on the benefits from arts-focused field trips. Students in fourth and fifth grades in ten elementary schools in a large urban school district were randomly assigned to receive three arts-related field trips throughout the school year, including an art museum, a live theater production, and a symphony performance or to serve as a control. We find that treatment students exhibit higher levels of school engagement as measured by students’ behavioral infractions and self-reported engagement. We also find that treatment students perform significantly better on their end of year standardized tests, up to 16% of a standard deviation increase. These effects are persistent even one year following treatment. However, the effects appear to be stronger for the first cohort of students in our sample.
本文介绍了第一次多访问的第二年的结果,纵向实验从艺术为重点的实地考察的好处。在一个大型城市学区的10所小学中,四年级和五年级的学生被随机分配到整个学年中接受三次与艺术相关的实地考察,包括艺术博物馆,现场戏剧演出和交响乐表演,或者作为对照。我们发现,通过学生的违规行为和自我报告的参与度来衡量,接受治疗的学生表现出更高水平的学校参与度。我们还发现,接受治疗的学生在年终标准化考试中表现明显更好,标准偏差增加了16%。这些影响甚至在治疗一年后仍持续存在。然而,在我们样本中的第一批学生中,这种影响似乎更强。

Private School Choice and Character: More Evidence from Milwaukee 私立学校的选择和特点:来自密尔沃基的更多证据
Pub Date : 2019-02-26 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3335162

We examine the effects of Milwaukee’s school voucher program on adult criminal activity and paternity suits. Using matched student-level data, we find that exposure to the program in 8th or 9th grade predicts lower rates of conviction for criminal activity and lower rates of paternity suits by ages 25 to 28. Specifically, exposure to the MPCP is associated with a reduction of around 53 percent in drug convictions, 86 percent in property damage convictions, and 38 percent in paternity suits. The program effects tend to be largest for males and students with lower levels of academic achievement at baseline.
我们研究了密尔沃基的学校代金券计划对成人犯罪活动和亲子诉讼的影响。使用匹配的学生水平数据,我们发现在八年级或九年级接触该项目可以预测25至28岁的犯罪活动定罪率和亲子诉讼率较低。具体来说,接触MPCP与毒品定罪减少约53%,财产损害定罪减少86%,亲子诉讼减少38%有关。该项目对男性和学业成绩较低的学生的影响最大。

Promises Fulfilled? A Systematic Review of the Impacts of Promise Programs 承诺兑现?对承诺项目影响的系统评价
Pub Date : 2017-10-26 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2849194

This review examines the existing evidence on the impacts of Promise Programs on community development, K-12 academic achievement, and student postsecondary outcomes. Promise Programs are place-based, guaranteed college scholarships offered to all students who graduate from a certain school or district while meeting the minimum thresholds of the program. We delineate Promise Programs by their design - whether the scholarships are available to all students, are awarded based on merit, or are awarded based on need. We also note the applicability of Promise Programs - whether the funds be used at a wide range of postsecondary institutions, or if they are narrowly targeted towards certain institutions. We find suggestive evidence that Promise Programs are successful at improving housing prices, attracting residents to Promise zones, improving student K-12 academic outcomes, and increasing postsecondary enrollment. However, the number of studies examining Promise Programs remains limited, and skewed towards particular programs.
本综述考察了承诺计划对社区发展、K-12学业成绩和学生高等教育成果影响的现有证据。承诺计划是基于地点的,有保证的大学奖学金,提供给所有从某一学校或地区毕业并达到该计划最低门槛的学生。我们根据项目的设计来划分承诺项目——奖学金是否对所有学生开放,是否根据成绩授予,是否根据需要授予。我们还注意到承诺计划的适用性——这些资金是用于广泛的高等教育机构,还是只针对某些机构。我们发现有证据表明,承诺项目在提高房价、吸引居民到承诺地区、提高学生K-12学业成绩和增加高等教育入学率方面取得了成功。然而,研究承诺计划的数量仍然有限,并且偏向于特定的计划。

Promise Programs are place-based, guaranteed college scholarships offered to all students who graduate from a certain school or district while meeting the minimum thresholds of the program. We delineate Promise Programs by their design - whether the scholarships are available to all students, are awarded based on merit, or are awarded based on need. We also note the applicability of Promise Programs - whether the funds be used at a wide range of postsecondary institutions, or if they are narrowly targeted towards certain institutions. We find suggestive evidence that Promise Programs are successful at improving housing prices, attracting residents to Promise zones, improving student K-12 academic outcomes, and increasing postsecondary enrollment. However, the number of studies examining Promise Programs remains limited, and skewed towards particular programs.","PeriodicalId":336198,"journal":{"name":"University of Arkansas Department of Education Reform Research Paper Series","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121845533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some commentators argue that private religious schools are less likely to inculcate the attributes of good citizenship than traditional public schools, specifically proposing that private Islamic schools are relatively more likely to produce individuals sympathetic to terrorism. This study offers a preliminary examination of the question by studying the educational backgrounds of Western educated terrorists. While data are limited, in accord with prior work findings indicate the vast majority of both Islamic and reactionary terrorists attended traditional public schools and had no religious education; hence findings suggest that early religious training and identification may actually encourage prosocial behavior.
一些评论家认为,私立宗教学校不太可能像传统的公立学校那样反复灌输良好公民的品质,他们特别提出私立伊斯兰学校相对来说更有可能培养出同情恐怖主义的人。本研究通过研究受过西方教育的恐怖分子的教育背景,对这一问题进行了初步的考察。虽然数据有限,但根据以前的工作结果,绝大多数伊斯兰恐怖主义分子和反动恐怖主义分子都上过传统的公立学校,没有受过宗教教育;因此,研究结果表明,早期的宗教训练和认同实际上可能会鼓励亲社会行为。
