Abstract:
We study how Vietnam's Escuela Nueva, a pedagogical reform that promotes participatory and collaborative learning in primary schools, affects students' learning behaviors in short and long run. Using a propensity score matching approach, we find that the model increases the likelihood of giving and receiving feedback from peers as well as asking questions in class. The peer-learning effects appear to persist in the long run as students enter lower secondary school. Qualitative interviews with lower secondary teachers and school principals also provide evidence of these long-term effects. However, teachers also highlighted important concerns of this model.

E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
