中文摘要
我们在智利低收入城市学校开展了一项实验，检验一项通过每周和每月短信向家长发送出勤、成绩和课堂行为信息的项目所引发的效应及行为变化。我们为期18个月的干预使数学平均成绩提高了0.09个标准差，并使达到升年级出勤要求的学生比例提高了4.7个百分点。处理效应对日后留级和辍学风险较高的学生更大。我们的结果表明，频繁向家长传达现有的学校信息可以缩小家校信息差距，并以一种轻度介入、可扩展且具有成本效益的方式改善学校成果。
Abstract
We conducted an experiment in low-income urban schools in Chile to test the eects and behavioral changes triggered by a program that sends attendance, grade, and classroom behavior information to parents via weekly and monthly text messages. Our 18-month intervention raised average math scores by 0.09 of a standard deviation and increased the share of students satisfying attendance requirements for grade promotion by 4.7 percentage points. Treatment eects were larger for students at higher risk of later grade retention and dropout. Our results demonstrate that communicating existing school information to parents frequently can shrink parent-school information gaps and improve school outcomes in a light-touch, scalable, and cost-eective way.
