  •   IEA Richard M. Wolf Memorial Award

    International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement

    Alemania, 2020

    Dr Carrasco received the Wolf Award for his paper Civic knowledge and open classroom discussion: explaining tolerance of corruption among 8th-grade students in Latin America. The present piece was a joint effort with colleagues from the University of Sussex (Robin Banerjee), and the Pontificia Universidad Católica (Ernesto Treviño and Cristobal Villalobos). Using data from ICCS 2009, the article inquires about 8th graders’ tolerance of corruption from Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Paraguay. The paper proposed a conceptual model that includes the socio economic background, the exposure to open classroom discussion, civic knowledge, and the endorsement of authoritarianism from students. The paper found that students with more political proficiency and less endorsement of authoritarianism are less tolerant of corruption. Open classroom discussion indirectly contributes to this phenomenon. Schools, where teachers encourage students to express their opinions and discuss differing points of view on political and social issues, promote civic knowledge of students, and protects them from endorsing authoritarian beliefs and, as a consequence, from condoning corruption. However, results presented in the paper show that students from lower socio-economic status do not have equal access to open classroom discussion practices, and consequently also present higher tolerance for corruption, partially attributable to this learning opportunity gap. If democratic systems expect their citizens to participate in accountability efforts to prevent corruption, it is necessary that the system also provides students with adequate learning opportunities for such a task. Dr Carrasco is a full-time researcher at Centro de Medición MIDE UC, at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. He holds a Doctoral degree in Psychology and a Master of Research in Psychological Methods from the University of Sussex. His research focuses on the estimation of contextual effects involving measurement and inferential problems. This line of research includes methodological challenges to national and international large-scale assessment, present in the exercise of school comparisons. Dr Carrasco’s focus is on substantive applications for civic education, learning environments research, and teacher turnover.

    2021 CANDE Outstanding Paper Award for your co-authored work titled, “Tolerance of Corruption Among Students in Latin America.” The annual award, established by esteemed Dr. Judith Torney-Purta, recognizes the work of early career scholars who have successfully submitted an unpublished paper to the CIES Conference on issues related to education, democracy, and citizenship. Your paper was reviewed by Judith Torney-Purta, Professor Emeritus (University of Maryland, College of Education) and her colleague, Amanda Fogle-Donmoyer, in relation to the following criteria: originality and contribution to the comparative education field; clarity and strength of method, argument, and substance; quality of the writing, and particularly interesting insights. The reviewers were especially pleased to see that you addressed major regional challenges using the representative cross-national data set from the IEA ICCS Study of 2016. For the reviewers, “The Carrasco/Pavón paper was strong in its discussion of like-minded communities and their role in tolerance of corruption and in its discussion of mechanisms of attitude development.” Dr. Judith Torney-Purta commented that she would be glad to provide editorial advice to you before you submit the paper to a journal. She also encourages you to investigate the pre- and post-doctoral fellowship programs of the National Academy of Education.
