流动人口子女教育的同伴效应

在中国，由于大规模的城乡人口流动造成了一个规模庞大的流动人口子女群体。据估算，2015年全国0-17岁流动儿童和留守儿童总数1.03亿人，占中国儿童总人口的38%。流动人口子女的教育问题已经成为我国当前面临的一个重大社会问题，事关教育公平与国家长治久安。尤为重要的是，流动人口子女的教育问题不仅仅关乎他们自身，还会产生极大的外部性问题，他们对于其他学生的“同伴效应”值得特别关注。本课题将针对流动人口子女对其同学产生的影响以及他们之间的互动情况进行研究，重点理解同伴效应中异质性群体的交互关系、作用机制和长期效果等方面。子课题一将重点研究流动儿童的同伴效应问题。子课题二将研究留守儿童的同伴效应问题。子课题三将研究流动人口子女教育同伴关系的长期后果。本研究力图进一步拓展同伴效应的研究方法与实践领域，同时也为更充分理解我国流动人口子女教育中的外部性问题，寻找切合实际的解决方案做出贡献。

China has witnessed a growing number of children of migrants due to the large scale rural-to-urban migration flows. It is estimated that in 2015, the total number of migrant children and left-behind children aged between 0 and 17 years old was 103 million, accounting for 38% of the total population of Chinese children. The education of children of migrants has become a major social problem in China, which is related to education equity and the long-term stability of the country. In addition, the education of the children of migrants does not just concern themselves, but also their “peers”, or other students in the same schools and classrooms. This research project will focus on children of migrants and their “peers”, to understand the interactions among heterogeneous peer groups, as well as the intermediate mechanisms and long-term effects related to peer relationships. The first sub project will focus on the peer effect of migrant children. The second sub project will study the peer effect of left behind children. The third sub project will study the long-term consequences of the educational peer relationship of migrant children. This study attempts to further expand the research methods and practice fields of peer effect, and make contributions to a better understanding of the externalities in the education of migrant children in China, so as to find more practical solutions to the education problems of migrant children.
