          Abstract

          This paper discusses the potential contribution of employing school effectiveness methodological approach within the ongoing research debate on school choice issues. Using the first approach, we estimate the effectiveness of a sample of Chilean schools after controlling by a baseline at the student level. In order to avoid the endogeneity of such a baseline with respect to the school effect, we use a longitudinal data set (SIMCE 2004 and SIMCE 2006) from which a natural pseudo-experiment is defined in such a way that the baseline is by design uncorrelated with the school effect. Thereafter, we investigate possible relationships between parental school choice (as declared in public standardized surveys) and the schools classified by their effectiveness. The main conclusions of this paper are, on the one hand, that there is not remarkable difference between municipal (public) and subsidised schools in terms of their effectiveness analyzed under value-added; and, on the other hand, that there is no relation between parental school choice preferences and school effectiveness.

          Este trabajo discute la potencial contribución de las metodologias de efectividad escolar al debate, en permanente desarrollo, sobre elección de escuelas. Usando dicha aproximaci0n metodol0gica, estimamos la efectividad de una muestra de escuelas chilenas, controlando por una línea de base a nivel de estudiantes. A fin de evitar la endogeneidad de dicha línea de base con respecto al efecto escuela, usamos datos longitudinales (las aplicaciones 2004 y 2006 del SIMCE) a partir de los cuales es posible definir un cuasi-experimento natural tal que, por diseno, dicha linea de base tiene correlaci0n nula con el efecto escuela. A partir de esto, investigamos posibles relaciones entre la elección parental de escuelas (según lo declarado en cuestionarios estandarizados) y las escuelas clasificadas de acuerdo a su efectividad. Las principales conclusiones de este trabajo son dos: en primer lugar, que no hay una notable diferencia entre escuelas públicas y subvencionadas en relaci0n a sus respectivas efectividades cuando esta se analiza con modelos de valor agregado; en segundo lugar, que no hay una relación entre las preferencias de elección parental de escuelas y la efectividad escolar.
