Abstract
This study examines the educational effect of the Academic Support Center at Kogakuin University. Following the initial assessment, it was suggested that group bias had led to an underestimation of the Center's true impact. To address this issue, the authors applied the theory of causal inference. By using T-learner, the conditional average treatment effect (CATE) of the Center's face-to-face (F2F) personal assistance program was evaluated. Extending T-learner, the authors produced a new CATE function that depends on the number of treatments (F2F sessions) and used the estimated function to predict the CATE performance of F2F assistance.
