School nutritious feeding and cognitive abilities of students in poverty: Evidence from the nutrition improvement program in China

While considerable attention has been paid to the benefits of school nutritious feeding, little literature focused on the effect on human capital accumulation for students in poverty. By drawing on the quasi-natural experiment of the Nutrition Improvement Program (NIP) and adopting the Difference-in-Differences (DID) method, we sought to determine the causal relationship between school nutritious feeding and the cognitive ability (CA) development among poor students in China. Specifically, our estimates confirmed that NIP implementations significantly improved the CAs of students in poverty, which is supported by several robustness checks. Moreover, the potential mechanisms of this positive effect included improved health status, enhanced sense of belonging at school, and increased positive expectations for the future. Our study further enriches the literature on the positive effects of school nutritious feeding and provides insights for developing countries to customize nutritional poverty alleviation programs to promote human capital development.

The development of this cognitive ability (i.e., critical thinking, reflective judgment, problem-solving) in accountants falls heavily on higher education. To address the limited investigation of cognitive ability in accounting students, this research seeks to better understand cognitive development in accounting education via an empirical study. The study attempts to expand the current discussion of student cognitive ability by exploring the relationship between students’ cognitive ability and academic performance by developing hypotheses focused on both lower-level memorization and higher-level analytical assignments. Data from accounting students attending a major university in the United States support the positive link between measures of cognitive ability (i.e., reflective judgment) and both overall course grades and data analytics assignment grades. These results suggest that accounting education needs to go beyond testing within the multiple-choice paradigm and shift the focus to descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive data analytics assignments. Further, this research provides a path forward for educators attempting to prepare today’s graduating accounting students for their future careers.

Effect of extracurricular tutoring on adolescent students cognitive ability: A propensity score matching analysis.

In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in the number of adolescent students attending extracurricular tutoring. However, extracurricular tutoring, being a distinct form of education, may have varying effects on cognitive capabilities compared to conventional education. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to conduct a thorough examination of the effects of extracurricular tutoring on cognitive abilities among adolescent students. The study utilized national data from the China Family Panel Study 2018 to explore the relationship between involvement in extracurricular tutoring among students and cognitive abilities. The study included 2567 valid respondents. A binary logistic regression model was built to determine the factors associated with tutoring involvement while controlling for 19 individual, family, and school factors. Furthermore, a propensity score-matched analysis was conducted in order to mitigate potential bias by using confounding variables identified in the previous step. The study results show that participation in extracurricular tutoring can significantly increase the level of cognitive ability of adolescent students, with adjustments made for age, gender, ethnicity, number of family members, net family income per capita, education and training expenditure in the past years, change of residence for enrollment, change of domicile address for enrollment, locality of the current school, class size, hold a position as a class cadre, average daily study time on weekdays, average study time per day during weekends.
