Title: An Evaluation of a "Trade-Offs" Implementation Using Canonical Estimation of Joint Educational Production Functions
Abstract: Learning and attitude formation resulting from the use of the "Trade-Offs" television series is evaluated from a joint generalization production function estimated using canonical correlation. Employing this technique, the cognitive achievement and attitudes of students exposed to the television series are compared to students not using the series. As a bonus, the instructional output of teachers who have attended workshops of various duration are also compared.
