Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of a student-centered teaching pedagogy program on cooperative behaviors of 610 students in five middle schools. We combine the school- level program of changing teaching practice with laboratory experiments, implemented before and after the program, measuring changes of students¡¯ cooperation. We show that the program increased students¡¯ voluntary contributions in a linear public goods experiment and raised teamwork performance in a real-effort task where members pursue a common interest. Our findings support the idea that teaching practices stimulating interpersonal interaction among students affect the formation of cooperative norms among students.
