| description |
The author explores how schools change
in response to increased competition generated by voucher
programs in Chile. A unique data set provides information on
teacher demographics and labor market characteristics, as
well as teachers' perceptions of school management.
When teacher data are matched with school-level data on
student achievement using a national assessment data set
(SIMCE), some teacher and school characteristics affect
student performance, but a great deal of unexplained
variance among sectors remains important in predicting
student outcomes. Teacher education, decentralization of
decisionmaking authority, whether the school schedule is
strictly enforced, and the extent to which teachers have
autonomy in designing teaching plans and implementing
projects all appear to affect student outcomes.
Interestingly, teacher autonomy has positive effects on
student outcomes only when decisionmaking authority is decentralized. |
