Abstract:We evaluated the impact of 2 developmental programs aimed at improving the academic achievements of students in a Chilean higher education institution. Both evaluations had quasi-experimental designs. The impact of counseling programs on students' dropout rates was first evaluated using propensity score matching. Then the impact of mathematics remedial courses on students' final grades in mathematics was estimated using regression discontinuity and propensity score matching. The results show that students who participated in these programs had better academic results than those with similar characteristics who did not take part.

咨询和数学辅导计划对智利高等教育学生学业成绩的影响

摘要：我们评估了旨在提高智利高等教育机构学生学业成绩的 2 个发展计划的影响。两项评估均采用准实验设计。首先使用倾向评分匹配评估咨询计划对学生辍学率的影响。然后使用回归不连续性和倾向得分匹配来估计数学补习课程对学生最终数学成绩的影响。结果表明，参加这些项目的学生比没有参加这些项目的具有相似特征的学生的学业成绩更好。
