混合分班还是分层教学——基于同群效应视角的理论研究Mixing or Ability-based Grouping——A Theoretical Analysis from the Perspective of Peer Effects
张蕊,宋信息
摘要(Abstract):
如何实现最优教学一直是教育政策制定者、教育管理者和学生家长关心和争论的话题,但在学术界还缺乏严格的理论分析。本文构建了一个可以在不同教学目标情况下分析两种常用分班教育(混合分班还是分层教学)优劣的模型。该模型在一个简易的框架下充分考虑了影响学生成绩的关键变量,包括老师教学能力、学生学习能力、学生努力程度,以及教育经济学实证文献中强调的同群效应。实证文献中发现的“单交叉”“烂苹果”“分层/分流”等同群效应机制可以在模型中进行灵活设定与分析。该模型可以解释不同分班教育的效果差异,为理解文献中不同的研究发现和为学校管理者选择最优的分班教育模式提供了一个理论分析框架,填补了研究分班教学模式的理论文献空白。

- (3)更多相关研究见文献综述。
- (4)这里的录取分数线可以是大学本科的录取分数线,也可以是初中升高中的录取分数线。我们这里讨论的是大多数学校的普遍目标。在现实中,特定学校的目标会有不同,比如省重点中学的目标是使得更多学生的分数超过985或211大学的录取分数线。
- (5)基于学生数量足够多,学生i的学习努力程度相对于同学总体的努力程度小的可以忽略,所以我们可以近似假设所有同学也包括学生i,即■。这样既可以简化数学分析,也不失一般性。
- (6)如Calvó-Armengol and Zenou (2004),Ballester et al.(2006,2010)和Calvó-Armengol et al.(2009)。
- (7)学习能力可以通过学生入学成绩来测度。
- (8)老师的教学能力可以通过老师的教学经验、荣誉称号来衡量,比如特级教师、高级教师。
- (9)这里我们假设一个学校的考生数量相对于全国或者全省全市所有考生来说数量非常小,所以对录取线的影响可以忽略不计。
- (10)这一假设是符合现实的,学校往往是根据以往学校的学生上线率以及学生成绩掌握学校分数所处的位置。
