چکیده
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of the Colombian New School (Escuela Nueva) program in raising student achievement in Spanish and mathematics. Typical program strategies include multigrade instruction, flexible student promotion, and community involvement. The paper finds that New Schools are better endowed with inputs like textbooks and place greater emphasis on active learning than traditional rural schools. Nevertheless, many New Schools have not implemented all the reforms. New Schools are found to have positive and statistically significant effects on Spanish and mathematics achievement in third grade and Spanish in fifth grade.

± Research on learning styles and their assessment has been the focus of growing interest due to rapid advances in educational multimedia applications. As an alternative to conventional questionnaires, the VV-BOS, a computer-based instrument for direct observation of students' preference for visual or verbal learning material in an authentic learning situation, was developed. A study with 103 s...
متن کاملSolving box constrained variational inequalities by using the natural residual with D-gap function globalization
We present a new method for the solution of the box constrained variational inequality problem, BVIP for short. Basically, this method is a nonsmooth Newton method applied to a reformulation of BVIP as a system of nonsmooth equations involving the natural residual. The method is globalized by using the D-gap function. We show that the proposed algorithm is globally and fast locally convergent. ...
متن کاملAttentional control of spatial scale: effects on self-organized motion patterns
Prior to the presentation of a test stimulus, subjects' attentional state was either narrowly focused on a particular location or broadly spread over a large spatial region. In previous studies, it was found that broadly spread attention enhances the sensitivity of relatively large spatial filters (increasing the perceiver's spatial scale), thereby diminishing spatial resolution and enhancing s...
