“…Whether or not an education degree is a proxy for effective teachers depends on different factors, including the quality of teacher education programs. In Latin America, teacher education programs have some of the least selective admission processes and tend to attract the lowest performing students compared to other college majors (Elacqua et al, 2018). According to data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), secondary school students who aspire to pursue a teaching degree have significantly lower test scores than those who are interested in other careers across all countries in Latin America (Elacqua et al, 2018).…”

“…In Latin America, teacher education programs have some of the least selective admission processes and tend to attract the lowest performing students compared to other college majors (Elacqua et al, 2018). According to data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), secondary school students who aspire to pursue a teaching degree have significantly lower test scores than those who are interested in other careers across all countries in Latin America (Elacqua et al, 2018). Moreover, value-added studies suggest that students in teacher education programs in the region have the lowest growth in content knowledge and skills over the course of their undergraduate studies compared to those in other degree programs (Dalmon et al, 2019;Elacqua et al, 2018).…”

It is unclear whether teachers with a degree in education are more effective than those who are not trained in an education-related field. To further examine this issue, we analyze the rela- tionship between teachers college major and student achievement by using unique data from Ecuador, which, for a period of time, allowed any graduate, regardless of their major, to apply for a teaching position in the countrys centralized selection process. Results from all specifi- cations indicate a non-significant relationship between degree type and student achievement, suggesting that teachers with and without an education degree are equally effective. We also found that teachers content-related and pedagogical knowledge do not seem to mediate the relationship between having an education degree and student learning. Finally, we observe no heterogeneous effects across different student demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Examining these claims empirically is crucial for ensuring that greater flexibility in teacher re- cruitment does not have negative effects on the quality of the education workforce.

“…The measure of the success of coaching and development in an area is the success in the field of education (Elacqua & Marotta, 2020;Sung, 2017;Wang et al, 2020). Therefore, one indicator of the success of community development is the low dropout rate in the region.…”

“…Teachers are a crucial input in the education production function as they have a significant effect on students' test scores (Rivkin et al 2005;Kane and Staiger 2008), non-cognitive outcomes such as absenteeism and school suspension (Ladd and Sorensen 2017;Jackson 2018), as well as long-term outcomes, including college attendance, earnings, and teenage pregnancy (Chetty et al 2014). Importantly, teachers' impact has been found to be greater among low-performing and low-income students (Aaronson et al 2007;Araujo et al 2016;Marotta 2019;Elacqua and Marotta 2020). Due to teacher sorting, disadvantaged schools tend to experience more severe shortages of teachers and often fail to attract higher-quality professionals (Sutcher et al 2016;Dee and Goldhaber 2017;Bertoni et al 2020).…”
