A Simultaneous Equations Model of the Educational Process.

摘要: Abstract This paper models the educational process as a system of six simultaneous equations. The endogenous variables include student's achievement, motivation, expectations, efficacy, and perceived parents' teachers' expectations. model also includes forty-eight individual, home, peer, teacher, school exogenous variables. Using sample over sixteen thousand twelfth grade students from Equality Educational Opportunity survey, we estimate by two-stage least squares present reduced form structural We find that many outputs jointly determine one another. Also, results suggest teacher have important effects on outcomes.
