Quantile regression analysis of cooperative learning effects

Abstract

This paper examines a quasi-experiment designed to analyze the effects of cooperative learning on exam grades earned in Principles of Macroeconomics. In this quasi-experiment, the researcher taught three sections of Principles of Macroeconomics during one term and randomly chose two treatment sections and one control section. Students in all sections engaged in active learning by completing problem sets. Students in the treatment sections were instructed to share and explain their answers to problem sets with peers. The results from OLS regression analysis suggest students in the treatment sections earned higher grades on the Final Exam. Quantile regression analysis suggests a positive relationship between treatment and Final Exam grades for high-achieving students and a negative relationship between treatment and grades earned on Exam 1 and Exam 2 for low-achieving students.
