Abstract

Schools present an ideal setting for intervention. We demonstrate that a greater prevalence of group discussion used in schools positively affects students' life satisfaction and noncognitive skills, and has no negative impact on test scores, based on a sample from the 2015 PISA, which includes more than 35 thousand students from approximately 1500 schools in 14 countries. We perform regressions of student life satisfaction on school-level group discussion and lecturing, including a battery of controls and random intercepts by school. For robustness, we use instrumental variables and methods to account for school-selection. The impact of group discussion is meaningful—a one-standard-deviation increase leads to an increase in life satisfaction that is about one-half of the negative-association with grade repetition. In contrast, lecturing does not have any effects. We are the first to show group discussion improves student life satisfaction and noncognitive skills, and thereby likely positively affects later-life outcomes.

教学实践对生活满意度和考试成绩的影响:来自国际学生评估项目(PISA)的证据
学校为干预提供了理想的环境。根据2015年国际学生评估项目的样本(包括来自14个国家约1500所学校的35000多名学生),我们证明,学校中更普遍的小组讨论对学生的生活满意度和非认知技能有积极影响,对考试成绩没有负面影响。我们对学校层面的小组讨论和讲课进行了学生生活满意度的回归,包括一系列的控制和学校的随机截取。为了稳健性,我们使用工具变量和方法来解释学校选择。小组讨论的影响是有意义的——一个标准偏差的增加导致生活满意度的增加,这大约是与年级重复负相关的一半。相比之下,讲课没有任何效果。我们是第一个表明小组讨论可以提高学生的生活满意度和非认知技能,从而可能对以后的生活产生积极影响的人。
