This paper evaluates the impact of a student-centered teaching pedagogy program by a local education authority on cooperative behaviors of 610 students in five middle schools. We measure changes of students’ cooperation with lab-in-the-field experiments, implemented before and after the program. Relying on a classroom-level fixed effect strategy, we show that the program has a positive effect on cooperation in a linear public goods experiment by way of remediating a negative time trend of contribution. Our findings support the idea that teaching practices stimulating interpersonal interaction affect the formation of cooperative norms among students.

教学实践对合作至关重要吗？

本文评估了当地教育机构以学生为中心的教学法计划对五所中学610名学生的合作行为的影响。我们通过该计划之前和之后实施的现场实验来衡量学生合作的变化。依靠课堂水平的固定效应策略，我们表明该程序通过纠正负贡献时间趋势，对线性公共物品实验中的合作产生了积极影响。我们的发现支持这样的观点，即刺激人际互动的教学实践会影响学生之间合作规范的形成。
