NELS:88 and ELS:2002 Databases Training Seminar II Announcement
Training will be conducted using the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) and the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002)
Wednesday, July 20, through Friday, July 22, 2005
Washington, DC
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, will sponsor a 2½-day advanced studies seminar on the use of longitudinal education databases for research and policy studies. This seminar will focus specifically on the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) and the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002) databases. The design of NELS:88 and ELS:2002 permits the examination of education, work, and the socialization of youth in the United States and the influences of schools, teachers, community, and family in promoting growth and positive outcomes.
This seminar is open to researchers, education practitioners, and policy analysts from state and local education agencies and professional associations as well as advanced graduate students and faculty members from colleges and universities nationwide.
Purpose
The overall goal of the seminar is to provide researchers with opportunities to gain access to some of the most comprehensive education resources in the nation and to use NELS:88 and ELS:2002 data in substantive research. The 2½-day seminar will include both lecture and hands-on instruction. Specifically, the seminar will include the following topics and activities:
* an overview of NELS:88 and ELS:2002 sample designs, data components, and coverage;
* methodological and technological issues relevant to data use;
* instruction and practice on how to analyze longitudinal data; and
* hands-on experience in conducting analyses.
National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88)
Beginning with an 8th grade cohort in 1988, NELS:88 provides trend data about critical transitions experienced by young people as they develop, attend school, and embark on their careers. Data were collected from students and their parents, teachers, and high school administrators as well as from existing school records such as high school transcripts. Cognitive tests (math, science, reading, and
history) were administered during the base year (1988), first follow-up (1990), and second follow-up (1992). The third follow-up data were collected in 1994. All dropouts were retained in the study. A fourth follow-up was conducted in the year 2000.
The following are examples of research issues that can be addressed with NELS:88:
* students' academic growth over time;
· the transition from 8th grade to high school;
* the process of dropping out of school, as it occurs from 8th grade on;
* the role of the school in helping the disadvantaged;
* school experiences and academic performance of minority students;
* students' pursuit of the study of mathematics and science;
* features of effective schools;
* access to and choice of postsecondary schools;
* attainment of education and career development;
* transitions to postsecondary education and work; and
* trend analyses with previous longitudinal studies (e.g., NLS-72 & HS&B).
For further information about NELS:88 and a list of available publications which can be downloaded or ordered, visit the NCES website (http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/nels88).
Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002)
ELS:2002 began with a 10th grade cohort in 2002. In addition to students, school administrators, teachers (math and reading), school librarians, and parents were surveyed. A short survey on school facilities was completed by field interviewers. Math and reading cognitive assessment instruments were completed by the students. First follow-up data were collected in the Spring of 2004 when most survey respondents were seniors. Dropouts were followed with certainty. Hopefully, first follow-up data will be available for the seminar.
For further information about ELS:2002, visit the NCES website (http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/els2002).

o For example, an instructor teaching a course on "Religion in Contemporary America" asks students to work with data from a subset of the General Social Survey (GSS) and construct an index of religiosity and then to the use the index to predict and analyze answers to other clusters of issue questions in the GSS. The instructional module includes the GSS subset data and the assignment sheet given to students.
o For example, an instructor teaching a course in "Political Parties, Elections, and Voting" asks students to work with data from a subset of the American National Election Series (ANES) to track the strength of party identification among women voters over time, by age cohort and by region. The instructional module includes a subset of the Cumulative ANES and the assignment sheet given to students.
o For example, an instructor teaching a survey level course on "U.S. History since 1865" asks students to work with data from the aggregate federal population census between 1870 and 1930 to track the origins, numbers, and proportions of immigrants in the population of selected counties and states. The instructional module includes a subset of ICPSR Study # 0003 and Study # 2896—the aggregate census—and the assignment sheet given to students.
o Additional examples of instructional modules archived at ICPSR's Site for Instructional Materials and Information are available at http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/SIMI/search.html
