--the positive correlation between teacher knowledge and student skills could simply reflect the 'better learning conditions' due to improved school buildings-- the author, Jan, states concern about the possibility that 'better learning conditions' might invalidate the study's findings. as an attempt to dismiss this concern, Jan uses 'improved school buildings' to represent 'better learning conditions'. did Jan provide evidence that 'improved school buildings' truly represents 'better learning conditions'? is there research that explores the relationship between 'improved school buildings' and 'better learning conditions'? i would like to review such, if it exists. my guess is that the relationship between 'improved school buildings' and 'better leaning conditions' is no t very significant. if not, the study's findings are questionable. there are other research design concerns, as well. here's 'learning conditions' research by educational researchers at the learning policy institute: "... across all schools,teachers’ collective practices and effcacy...student conduct...teacher and school leadership, community support and parent engagement,time for teaching, andstudent assessment data, also predicted the school’s probability of exceeding its growth target... ... [schools that exceeded growth targets] were also more resource rich: They had more teachers, a greater proportion of National Board–certifed teachers, and higher levels of total spending. These resources were more plentiful in schools serving more affuent students...." files.eric.ed.gov Jan might consider revising the study to evaluate these variables in that african population. such results might provide valuable information for that specific population.
