Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to empirically analyze the influence of merit payment on student achievement in South Korea, specifically the proportion of students with above-average test scores and the proportion of students with below-average test scores over six years (2011–2016). EduData Service System (EDSS) school-level panel data was utilized for analysis, which included pooled OLS, a fixed-effects model, and a two-way fixed-effects model. The results of the fixed-effects model showed that merit payment in Korea likely increases the proportion of students with high proficiency in Korean and English, but tends not to reduce the proportion of students with low proficiency in Korean, English, and math. However, the results of the two-way fixed effects model indicated that merit payment has no statistically significant effect on the proportion of students with above-average or below-average test scores in Korean, English, and math. Recommendations for policymakers, researchers, and educators are provided.

中小学教师绩效工资对学生学习成绩的影响分析

摘要本研究的目的是实证分析成绩支付对韩国学生成绩的影响，特别是六年（2011-2016年）内考试成绩高于平均水平的学生比例和考试成绩低于平均水平的比例。利用教育数据服务系统（EDSS）学校层面的小组数据进行分析，其中包括合并OLS、固定效应模型和双向固定效应模型。固定效应模型的结果表明，韩国的择优录取可能会增加韩语和英语水平较高的学生比例，但不会减少韩语、英语和数学水平较低的学生比例。然而，双向固定效应模型的结果表明，成绩支付对韩国语、英语和数学考试成绩高于平均水平或低于平均水平的学生比例没有统计学上的显著影响。为政策制定者、研究人员和教育工作者提供了建议。
