Unpacking the education production function : essays on teaching, parenting, and measurement in emerging contexts
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation consists of three essays that investigate topics concerning the three main characters in the education production function-the teacher, the parent, and the student. All three essays speak to modes of learning that have a broad reach and leverage novel sources of data to inform implementation, policymaking, and future research. The first chapter of this dissertation brings experimental evidence to the problem of improving parental execution, i.e. taking action with their children, in mobile education. The second chapter of this dissertation presents quasi-experimental evidence to answer an age-old question-how does faculty research affect student learning? The third chapter of this dissertation concerns the estimation of student models using large sparse data from online learning.
