论文摘要
超出强制性教育的继续教育是青少年必须做出的最重要的选择之一。高等教育与该人及其社区的许多社会和经济利益有关。如今，有充分的证据表明，教育愿望是该选择的重要决定因素。我们在45所墨西哥高中实施了多级，网络的实验，并提供了教育愿望的延展性的证据。我们还表明，学生选择的相互依存以及我们对同伴网络的干预效果。我们发现，结合了榜样和有关教育回报的信息的视频干预成功地更新了学生的信念和教育愿望。
Continuing education beyond the compulsory years of schooling is one of the most important choices an adolescent has to make. Higher education is associated with a host of social and economic benefits both for the person and its community. Today, there is ample evidence that educational aspirations are an important determinant of said choice. We implement a multilevel, networked experiment in 45 Mexican high schools and provide evidence of the malleability of educational aspirations. We also show there exists an interdependence of students' choices and the effect of our intervention with peer networks. We find that a video intervention, which combines role models and information about returns to education is successful in updating students' beliefs and consequently educational aspirations.
