El Beneficio de Caminos Rurales: Ampliando oportunidades de ingreso para los probes
Get PDFMuchos estudios han evaluado los beneficios de los caminos rurales concentrándose en la reducción de costos monetarios y de tiempo en que los pobladores incurren para acceder a mercados de bienes e insumos o a servicios públicos clave. Esta investigación complementa dicho enfoque con una evaluación del impacto de este tipo de infraestructura sobre indicadores clave de bienestar como el ingreso y el gasto de los hogares atendidos. Con una muestra de hogares rurales de algunos de los distritos más pobres del Perú, este estudio compara hogares conectados a caminos rurales rehabilitados con hogares control cuidadosamente escogidos, mediante técnicas de propensity score matching. Los resultados muestran que las mejoras en la infraestructura rural de transporte pueden tener un impacto positivo sobre los ingresos rurales y su composición, ya que un camino en mejores condiciones amplía las oportunidades de generación de ingresos de los hogares, especialmente en actividades de empleo asalariado no agropecuario. El estudio identifica, sin embargo, que esta expansión de ingresos no viene aparejada con un incremento del gasto de consumo de los hogares; aparentemente, esto se debe a que el ingreso adicional se destina al ahorro y no al consumo, vía incrementos en el stock de ganado. Ello podría ocurrir porque la mayor accesibilidad a los mercados es percibida como transitoria por los hogares beneficiados por las mejoras en la infraestructura de caminos

No full textDesarrollando mercados rurales: El rol de la incertidumbre y la restricción crediticia
Get PDFEl estudio evalúa cuáles son los factores más relevantes para que un pequeño productor agrícola demande asistencia técnica con el propósito de incursionar en mercados “dinámicos”; es decir, en mercados que puedan absorber cantidades crecientes de su cultivo. Los resultados muestran que existe un segmento de productores cuya “distancia” a estos mercados no es tan significativa como para que no puedan incursionar en ellos. Sin embargo, restricciones asociadas al grado de organización de los productores, a su percepción del riesgo y a las posibilidades de acceso al mercado de crédito les impiden acceder a los beneficios adicionales que estos mercados ofrecen

A MODIFIED CASE STUDY EXAMINING THE EFFECTS OF SPECIFIC SCHOOL GRADE-LEVEL ORGANIZATIONAL MODELS ON NINTH-GRADE LEARNERS
Get PDFThis doctoral dissertation represents a qualitative study employing a modified case study research design that is intended to assess the perspectives of school practitioners (i.e., principals, guidance counselors, and teachers) who work with ninth graders relevant to their perceptions of the developmental needs of those students, how their respective schools address those needs, and the effects their schools’ grade-level organizational plans may have on grade nine. This study employs semi-structured interviews, document reviews, and direct observations for data collection. Two case sites were selected for this dissertation—one populated by students in grades nine through twelve (9-12) and another with pupils in grades seven through nine (7-9). Both sites were selected purposefully on the basis of their grade-level configurations, their contemporary and historical relevance to ninth-grade-level education, and their proximity to the principal researcher. Sample groups at each school included 10 practitioners who worked directly with ninth graders within a multitude of professional realms, particularly administration, counseling, and teaching. Upon site selection, building principals were recruited for participation in this study; henceforth, those subjects selected nine other participants of faculty rank based on their professional positions and affiliations with students at the ninth-grade level.
The data seems to indicate that practitioners at the grades 9-12 high school perceive ninth graders differently from that of their counterparts at the grades 7-9 junior high school. The high-school subjects generally describe ninth graders as being immature, whereas participants at the junior high school perceive them the opposite of that. It also appears that participants at the grades 9-12 site lack consensus on the attributes of ninth-grade developmental needs with some questioning the appropriateness and/or legitimacy of four-year high schools for educating students at that grade level, while others ardently support that construct. Conversely, practitioners at the grades 7-9 junior high school seem to be unified in their perspectives on ninth-grade-level development—contending that ninth graders are better educated in junior high schools versus senior high schools and that their school is developmentally appropriate and more suitable for ninth-grade learners
Diagnóstico de los organismos intermedios del sistema educativo peruano: un estudio de casos de las Unidades de Gestión Educativa Local – UGEL
Get PDFRecoge los hallazgos de una investigación realizada por GRADE bajo el auspicio de la Fundación Ford, la cual estuvo orientada al análisis de la problemática de los organismos intermedios dentro del sistema educativo peruano. El objetivo de la investigación fue conocer el funcionamiento de las Unidades de Gestión Educativa Local (UGEL) y ubicar los principales obstáculos que estas enfrentan para asumir una adecuada gestión de la educación en sus jurisdicciones. El supuesto fundamental de la misma es que los niveles intermedios tienen directa incidencia sobre lo que ocurre en las instituciones educativas; no solo porque son transmisores y ejecutores de las políticas centralizadas del Estado, sino porque se trata de instancias desconcentradas desde donde —de una forma u otra— se definen y se moldean las decisiones que conciernen a la calidad y la equidad educativa
Grade Non-Disclosure
Get PDFThis paper documents and explains the existence of grade non-disclosure policies in Masters in Business Administration programs, why these policies are concentrated in highly-ranked programs, and why these policies are not prevalent in most other professional degree programs. Related policies, including honors and minimum grade requirements, are also consistent with our model.
Grade Retention and School Performance: An Extended Investigation
Get PDFThis study extends Reynolds’ (1992) investigation of the social- psychological influences on grade retention and school adjustment in early childhood by tracing the predictors and consequences of grade retention for school achievement, perceived competence, and delinquency in early adolescence (age 14). The study sample included 1,164 (93 percent of the sample from the original study) low-income, mostly black children in the Chicago Longitudinal Study. Twenty-eight percent of the study sample were retained-in-grade by age 14 (first grade to eighth grade). The strongest predictors of retention were early school performance (test scores and grades), sex (boys were more likely to be retained), parent participation in school, and school mobility. Overall, grade retention was significantly associated with lower reading and math achievement at age 14 above and beyond a comprehensive set of explanatory variables. Results based on same-age comparison groups yielded larger effects of retention on school achievement than those based on same-grade comparisons, but both approaches indicated that grade retention was associated with significantly lower reading achievement. In the full model, grade retention was unrelated to perceived school competence at age 12 and to delinquency infractions at age 14. With the exception of reading achievement, retention during the primary grades and retention during grades 4 to 7 yielded a similar pattern of effects. Findings were largely consistent with the earlier study and suggest that intervention approaches other than grade retention are needed to better promote school achievement and adjustment.
