The playful learning curriculum
Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) in Norway has play, exploration, and discovery as foundations for children's learning, but lacks a curriculum that describes and supports principles of playful learning. The present study examines the effects of the Playful Learning Curriculum in ECEC on children's school readiness skills in the play-based ECEC context of Norway. A total of 96 ECEC centers signed up for the project and recruited 1,313 chi…
Do Students Learn More with an Additional Teacher in the Classroom? Evidence from a Field Experiment
We present a field experiment investigating treatment effects of an additional teacher in the classroom on student learning. The treatment targets literacy instruction during first and second grades. Nearly 6,000 students in 300 classrooms participated in the experiment. The treatment has on average no effects on student learning. However, boys seem to benefit, with treatment impacts of about 0.12 and 0.09 standard deviations on the national lite…
Teacher relationship skills and student learning
Despite extensive evidence on variation in teacher value-added, we have a limited understanding of why some teachers are more effective in promoting human capital than others. Using rich, high-quality data from Norway, we introduce and validate a new approach to measuring teachers’ overall capacity to form positive relationships in the classroom, relying on student survey items previously developed and validated (at the student level) in the educ…
Implementing implementation science in a randomized controlled trial in Norwegian early childhood education and care
The emerging interest in implementation processes in the social, health, and educational sciences has increased the recognition of implementation science. Still, the literature provides limited practical insights on how to successfully develop and conduct interventions within educational settings in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in line with implementation science. This paper uses the Agder RCT study to provide such insights. We describe ho…
How can we inspire nations of learners? An investigation of growth mindset and challenge-seeking in two countries
Here we evaluate the potential for growth mindset interventions (that teach students that intellectual abilities can be developed) to inspire adolescents to be "learners"-that is, to seek out challenging learning experiences. In a previous analysis, the U.S. National Study of Learning Mindsets (NSLM) showed that a growth mindset could improve the grades of lower-achieving adolescents, and, in an exploratory analysis, increase enrollment in advanc…
We Are Family
Resident fathers have increased the time they spend in active childrearing in recent decades. This paper examines how fathers’ time in childrearing is associated with relationship dissolution. We use longitudinal survey and time-diary data on young children from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC; n = 5,604). We investigate mothers’ and fathers’ parenting time, alone and with each other, in a wide variety of activities. Controlli…

The Impact of Paternity Leave on Fathers’ Future Earnings
Using Norwegian registry data, we investigate the effect of paternity leave on fathers’ long-term earnings. If the paternity leave increased long-term father involvement, then we should expect a reduction in fathers’ long-term earnings as they shift time and effort from market to home production. For identification, we use the Norwegian introduction of a paternity-leave quota in 1993, reserving four weeks of the total of 42 weeks of paid parental…
Parental Job Loss and Children's School Performance
Using Norwegian register data, we estimate how children's school performance is affected by their parents' exposure to plant closure. Our estimates suggest that paternal job loss has a negative effect on children's school performance. In contrast, maternal job loss is associated with a non-significant increase in school performance. Importantly, the negative effect of paternal job loss appears largely unrelated to its effect on father's income, f…
Divorced Fathers’ Proximity and Children’s Long-Run Outcomes
This study examines the link between divorced nonresident fathers’ proximity and children’s long-run outcomes, using high-quality data from Norwegian population registers. We follow (from birth to young adulthood) each of 15,992 children born into married households in Norway in the years 1975–1979 whose parents divorced during his or her childhood. We observe the proximity of the child to his or her father in each year following the divorce and …
