Purpose

As accountability policies worldwide press for higher student achievement, schools across the globe are enacting a host of reform efforts with varied outcomes. Mounting evidence suggests reforms, which encourage greater collaboration among teachers, may ultimately support increased student learning. Specifically, this study aims to investigate the relationship between human and social and student achievement outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach

In exploring this idea, the authors draw on human and social capital and examine the influence of these forms of capital on student achievement using social network analysis and hierarchical linear modeling.

Findings

The results indicate that teacher human and social capital each have a significant and positive relationship with student achievement. Moreover, both teacher human and social capital together have an even stronger effect on student achievement than either human or social capital alone.

Originality/value

As more schools across the globe adopt structures for teacher collaboration and the development of learning communities, there is a need to better understand how schools may capitalize on these opportunities in ways that yield improved student learning. Our work sheds new light on these critical foundational elements of human and social capital that are individually and collectively associated with student achievement.

资本理念：探索人力资本和社会资本与学校学生成绩之间的关系

目的

随着世界范围内的问责制政策要求更高的学生成绩，全球各地的学校正在采取一系列改革措施，取得不同的成果。越来越多的证据表明，鼓励教师之间加强合作的改革最终可能会支持学生学习的增加。具体而言，本研究旨在调查人类与社会与学生成就结局之间的关系。

设计/方法/方法

在探索这一想法时，作者借鉴了人力资本和社会资本，并使用社会网络分析和层次线性模型研究了这些资本形式对学生成绩的影响。

发现

结果表明，教师的人力和社会资本均与学生的成绩有着显着的正相关关系。此外，教师的人力资本和社会资本对学生成绩的影响甚至比单独的人力资本或社会资本还要强大。

创意/价值

随着全球越来越多的学校采用教师合作和学习社区发展的架构，有必要更好地了解学校如何利用这些机会以改善学生学习的方式来利用它们。我们的工作为人类和社会资本的这些至关重要的基本要素提供了新的启示，这些要素与学生的成就个别地或集体地联系在一起。
