Computers for Education Program: Randomized Experiment in 97 Colombian Schools

5,201 children across 97 public schools in Colombia were part of a two-year randomized evaluation of the Computers for Education program. The dataset likely contains student test scores and survey responses measuring the impact of computer integration on language teaching. The research was conducted by Felipe Barrera‐Osorio and published via paperswithcode.

Use Cases

• Causal inference analysis based on the randomized controlled trial design
• Evaluating the relationship between technology access and test scores based on student assessment data
• Analyzing teacher and student survey responses regarding technology integration in the curriculum

Strengths

• Data is derived from a randomized experiment across 97 schools, providing a strong basis for causal inference
• Includes outcomes for 5,201 children, offering a substantial sample size
• Covers a two-year evaluation period, allowing for longitudinal analysis

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the Colombian school context
