Abstract

RESUMEN: En el último siglo se ha evidenciado un importante aumento en la cobertura educativa en Colombia, mientras que la calidad no ha mejorado significativamente. Diferentes proyectos se han implementado para afectar el desempeno escolar pero con escasa evaluación. El objetivo de este trabajo es, específicamente, evaluar el efecto de los programas educativos llevados a cabo en Antioquia entre 2011 y 2015 sobre el desempeno en las pruebas SABER 11. Se estima, inicialmente, un modelo por Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios (OLS) para identificar las características de estudiantes, docentes y colegios que afectan el desempeno educativo en donde se aplicó la política educativa. Adicionalmente, se propone una metodología de análisis por cuartiles mediante un modelo PROBIT Ordenado, considerada una mejor estrategia para identificar efectos de los programas educativos en el corto plazo dada la restricción de información que se tiene. En general, se muestra que la política educativa tuvo efectos favorables, principalmente, sobre los estudiantes que estaban en colegios con más bajo desempeno. Es decir, se evidencia una movilidad de estudiantes entre cuartiles de desempeno cuando se les aplican los programas educativos. ABSTRACT: In the last century, there has been a significant increase in educational coverage in Colombia, while quality has not improved significantly. Different projects have been implemented to affect school performance but with little evaluation. The objective of this paper is, specifically, to evaluate the effect of the educational programs carried out in Antioquia between 2012 and 2015 on the performance of the SABER 11 tests. Initially, an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model is estimated to identify the characteristics of students, teachers and schools that affect the educational performance in which the educational policy was applied. Additionally, an analysis methodology by quartiles is proposed by means of an Ordered PROBIT model, considered a good strategy to identify effects of educational programs in the short term with the restriction of information that is available. In general, it is shown that the educational policy had favorable effects, mainly, on the students who were in the lowest performing schools. That is to say, there is evidence of a movility of students between quartiles of performance when the educational programs are applied.
