Why Providing More Information to Parents May Not Always Improve Children's Education Outcomes: Lessons from a Study in China

The data in this repository is from a field experiment conducted in an elementary school in Shenzhen. Parents of five classes were randomly selected to receive more feedback about their children's in-school performance. The main hypothesis to test is whether providing information helps students achieve better scores. There are scores of four subjects and 6 semesters in this dataset. The experiment were conducted in the 4th and 5th semester.本仓库所收录的数据源自深圳某小学开展的一项实地实验（field experiment）。研究团队随机选取五个班级的家长，使其能够获取更多关于子女在校表现的反馈信息。本研究的核心检验假设为：向家长提供此类学业反馈信息是否有助于提升学生的学习成绩。本数据集涵盖四门学科的成绩数据，时间跨度覆盖6个学期，本次实验的实施时段为第4和第5学期。
