This study examines the relationships between school processes and literacy in public schools that serve low-income families in a midsize city in Colombia. We focus on four categories of school processes: instructional practice; school-community engagement; well-being of students, teachers, and parents; and community belonging. We present two key results. First, we find considerable variation in literacy performance across schools, despite serving students with similar family background characteristics. Second, we find community belonging to be the most salient school process for predicting literacy. Among measures of community belonging, higher levels of students’ sense of belonging and lower levels of bullying were associated with higher literacy. This study contributes to the field of international and comparative education by highlighting the importance of relational and interpersonal dimensions of school processes for children’s learning. Our study also demonstrates the value of adopting an interdisciplinary lens that combines economics, child development, and sociology to better understand the links between school processes and student learning.

学习杠杆:哥伦比亚低收入学校的学校层面因素与识字结果之间的关系

本研究调查了为哥伦比亚一个中等城市的低收入家庭提供服务的公立学校的学校进程与识字率之间的关系。我们专注于四类学校过程:教学实践;学校社区参与;学生、老师和家长的福祉;和社区归属感。我们提出了两个关键结果。首先,尽管为具有相似家庭背景特征的学生提供服务,但我们发现不同学校的识字表现存在相当大的差异。其次,我们发现社区归属是预测识字率的最显着的学校过程。在社区归属感的衡量标准中,较高水平的学生归属感和较低水平的欺凌与较高的识字率相关。本研究强调了学校过程中关系和人际关系方面对儿童学习的重要性,从而为国际和比较教育领域做出了贡献。我们的研究还展示了采用结合经济学、儿童发展和社会学的跨学科视角来更好地理解学校进程与学生学习之间的联系的价值。
