| Résumé : | While there has been extensive work on the effect of teachers, school quality, and competition on pupil achievement, little is known about the effect of pupils' beliefs and pupils' strategic behaviour in the classroom on educational achievement. Do pupils hold different beliefs about male or female teachers, teachers of different ethnic backgrounds, teachers of different subjects. Understanding students' assumptions about teachers' behaviour helps to design policies that tackle the problem of underachievement at school, as well as policies that address the gender and ethnic gap in education. This study presents the results of an experimentl. The experiment provides students with economic incentives in the classroom to estimate how students' beliefs are affected by grading conditions. The autors rely here on students' actual choices rather than students' subjective statements as subjective statements may not predictive of students' actual choices. They find that students' perceptions strongly depend on their gender and their teacher's gender. Male students invest less when graded by a female teacher, and female students invest more when graded by a male teacher. [d'après résumé auteur] |
