Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
I work with 70 schools of a large rural school chain in northern India. The study sample will consist of teachers and students in grades 2, 4, 6, and 8 in these 70 schools, comprising 280 teachers and their students. I consider non-adjacent grades within each school to avoid the possibility of spillovers across adjacent grades, and conduct pairwise randomization across all possible grade pairings within schools. All teachers in the study sample will be observed at baseline and administered a survey module that elicits beliefs about perceived role in education production. Teachers will then be randomized to receive treatment or placebo training for a period of 5 weeks. At the end of the training, surveyors will administer Endline 1 survey. Two additional rounds of endline will be conducted after 3, and 6 months of intervention.

I work with 83 schools of a large rural school chain in northern India. The study sample will consist of teachers and students in grades 2, 4, 6, and 8 in these 83 schools, comprising 292 teachers and their students. I consider non-adjacent grades within each school to avoid the possibility of spillovers across adjacent grades, and conduct pairwise randomization across all possible grade pairings within schools. All teachers in the study sample will be observed at baseline and administered a survey module that elicits beliefs about perceived role in education production. Teachers will then be randomized to receive treatment or placebo training for a period of 5 weeks. At the end of the training, surveyors will administer Endline 1 survey.
