ABSTRACT We study whether and how teaching style (i.e. traditional vs active mode) affects academic performance of young individuals in tertiary education. We focus on entrepreneurship education as an ideal subject for experimenting alternative teaching methods. Identification relies on Triple Difference estimates based on detailed administrative data for the universe of students in a Master’s program in Management in Italy. Our preferred estimates show no significant effects of the teaching mode on student’s achievement. However, further estimates reveal interesting heterogeneities across students, being active teaching more effective in the case of females and students from secondary schools with an academic track.

谁能从高等教育中积极学习中受益？

摘要我们研究教学方式（即传统方式还是主动方式）是否以及如何影响年轻人在高等教育中的学业表现。我们将创业精神教育作为尝试替代教学方法的理想学科。识别取决于三重差异估算，该估算基于对意大利管理学硕士课程中学生的详细管理数据而得出。我们偏爱的估计显示教学模式对学生的成绩没有显着影响。但是，进一步的估计揭示了学生之间有趣的异质性，对于女性和中学程度良好的中学学生来说，主动教学更为有效。
