中文摘要

本研究就计算机辅助学习(CAL)软件与传统教学的相对有效性提供了证据。基于在萨尔瓦多小学开展的一项田野实验,我们评估了三项旨在改善数学学习的干预措施:(i) 增设教师主导的课时;(ii) 增设由监督员监管的 CAL 课时;以及 (iii) 增设由教师指导的 CAL 课时。我们发现,与以教师为中心的课时相比,CAL 课时带来更大的学习增益,且对班级规模和学生能力的敏感度更低。我们的研究结果凸显了 CAL 在班级异质性强、教师资质不足的环境中的价值。

Abstract

This study provides evidence on the relative effectiveness of computer-assisted learning (CAL) software and traditional teaching. Based on a field experiment in Salvadoran primary schools, we evaluate three interventions that aim to improve learning in mathematics: (i) additional teacher-led classes, (ii) additional CAL classes monitored by a supervisor, and (iii) additional CAL classes instructed by a teacher. We find that CAL lessons lead to larger learning gains and are less sensitive to class size as well as student ability than teacher-centered classes. Our results highlight the value of CAL in an environment with heterogeneous classes and poorly qualified teachers.
