Abstract

We assess the effects of a Brazilian extended high school day program on college admission test scores. The program entails an increase in Math/Science and Language class time, and the introduction of extra-class activity time. We exploit variation in program implementation timing to apply a difference-in-differences strategy and an event-study approach. Results show positive large effects on test scores and suggest that these effects are likely driven by increased class and extra-class activity hours. Moreover, the program affects not only scores in subjects for which it contemplates increased class time, but also in Humanities. Finally, we are able to show that increased time dedicated to academic-related extra-class activities works as a multiplier of program effects. In fact, these additional hours spent in complementary activities make the magnitude of program effects double from 0.092-0.150 to 0.180-0.317 standard deviation.
延长在校时间会影响大学入学考试的成绩吗?
我们评估了巴西延长高中日课程对大学入学考试成绩的影响。该计划需要增加数学/科学和语言课程时间,并引入课外活动时间。我们利用程序实施时间的变化来应用差异中的差异策略和事件研究方法。结果显示对考试成绩有很大的积极影响,并表明这些影响可能是由课堂和课外活动时间的增加所驱动的。此外,该计划不仅会影响那些考虑增加上课时间的科目的分数,还会影响人文学科的分数。最后,我们能够证明,增加与学术相关的课外活动的时间可以作为项目效应的乘数。事实上,这些花费在补充性活动上的额外时间使程序效果的大小从0.092-0.150增加到0.180-0.317标准差。
