Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Impact of School Infrastructure on Learning: A Synthesis of the Evidence provides an excellent literature review of the resources that explore the areas of focus for improved student learning, particularly the aspiration for “accessible, well-built, child-centered, synergetic and fully realized learning environments.†? Written in a style which is both clear and accessible, it is a practical reference for senior government officials and professionals involved in the planning and design of educational facilities, as well as for educators and school leaders. --Yuri Belfali, Head of Division, Early Childhood and Schools, OECD Directorate for Education and Skills This is an important and welcome addition to the surprisingly small, evidence base on the impacts of school infrastructure given the capital investment involved. It will provide policy makers, practitioners, and those who are about to commission a new build with an important and comprehensive point of reference. The emphasis on safe and healthy spaces for teaching and learning is particularly welcome. --Harry Daniels, Professor of Education, Department of Education, Oxford University, UK This report offers a useful library of recent research to support the, connection between facility quality and student outcomes. At the same time, it also points to the unmet need for research to provide verifiable and reliable information on this connection. With such evidence, decisionmakers will be better positioned to accurately balance the allocation of limited resources among the multiple competing dimensions of school policy, including the construction and maintenance of the school facility. --David Lever, K-12 Facility Planner, Former Executive Director of the Interagency Committee on School Construction, Maryland Many planners and designers are seeking a succinct body of research defining both the issues surrounding the global planning of facilities as well as the educational outcomes based on the quality of the space provided. The authors have finally brought that body of evidence together in this well-structured report. The case for better educational facilities is clearly defined and resources are succinctly identified to stimulate the dialogue to come. We should all join this conversation to further the process of globally enhancing learning-environment quality! --David Schrader, AIA, Educational Facility Planner and Designer, Former Chairman of the Board of Directors, Association for Learning Environments (A4LE)

Download or read book Public Program Evaluation written by Laura Langbein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This readable and comprehensive text is designed to equip students and practitioners with the statistical skills needed to meet government standards regarding public program evaluation. Even those with little statistical training will find the explanations clear, with many illustrative examples, case studies, and applications. Far more than a cookbook of statistical techniques, the book begins with chapters on the overall context for successful program evaluations, and carefully explains statistical methods--and threats to internal and statistical validity--that correspond to each evaluation design. Laura Langbein then presents a variety of methods for program analysis, and advise readers on how to select the mix of methods most appropriate for the issues they deal with-- always balancing methodology with the need for generality, the size of the evaluator's budget, the availability of data, and the need for quick results.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dissertation Three Essays on Cost-effectiveness of Promotion of Health Goods and the Linkage Between Health and Education in Developing Countries: Evidence from China focuses on developing innovative ways to design and evaluate policies that deliver subsidized health goods to low income populations as well as the interactions of health and education initiatives in developing countries. I study these issues through field experiments applying both reduced form and structural estimation methods to empirically test relevant microeconomic theory and to evaluate the impacts of potential policy options. The cost-effectiveness of policies providing welfare-enhancing products for free or at highly subsidized prices is often compromised by the fact that many individuals do not use the products provided. In my first dissertation chapter Ordeal Mechanisms and Training in the Provision of Subsidized Products in Developing Countries, my coauthors and I use a randomized field experiment to test two policy instruments designed to improve the cost-effectiveness of a program to distribute free eyeglasses to myopic children in rural China. Requiring recipients to undergo ordeal mechanism (redeeming a voucher) to acquire eyeglasses targeted eyeglasses to those who would use them without reducing uptake. A training program that addressed misinformation concerning the use of eyeglasses increased use when eyeglasses were freely distributed but not when an ordeal was required. Free distribution with training dominates other policies in both programmatic and social cost-effectiveness, both in terms of increasing the percentage of myopic children using eyeglasses and in improving the average lines of visual acuity. When myopic students make decisions about whether to own and/or use glasses, peer effects might play a role in their decision-making. In in my second dissertation chapter Estimating Peer Effects: A Structural Econometric Model Using a Field Experiment of a Health Promotion Program in Rural China, my coauthors and I take advantage of a large-scale field experiment that provides free eyeglasses and training to 3,177 myopic students in rural China, and from which we collected three rounds of glasses ownership and usage data. We estimate peer effects using both reduced-form models and structural models of both the ownership decision and the usage decision; as well as a structural model of the multi-stage timing game in which the first stage is the decision to own glasses and, conditional on deciding to own, the second stage is the decision to use glasses. In the multi-stage model, our preferred model, we find that the fraction of all peers who own glasses has a significant positive effect on the payoff to a myopic student from using glasses. The peer effect is roughly half as important as partially relieving the liquidity constraint combined with providing a training program; completely relieving the liquidity constraint; or completely relieving the liquidity constraint combined with providing a training program.The first two essays study how to promote vision care among myopic student. In my third dissertation chapter, Improving Learning by Improving Vision: Evidence from Two Randomized Controlled Trials of Providing Vision Care in China, I present empirical evidence examining the causal link between the provision of vision care on educational performance of school-aged children in two difference school settings in China: public schools in a rural area of Western China and private schools for migrant communities in Eastern China. Overall, I find a significant impact in Intention-to-Treat analysis and a large and significant Local Effect (LATE) of providing free eyeglasses and vision care training to students with poor vision in Western China but not in Eastern China. The difference in impact between two settings is not a matter of underpowered experimental design or low compliance. Instead, I find that the lack of impact in Eastern China is due to a lower quality educational environment, including both lower resources and teacher quality. Overall, my findings are in line with the literature that finds that a causal pathway linking a health intervention and learning outcomes can be clearly identified only when school quality is sufficiently high.
