TY - RPRT T1 - Recommendations for High School Preparation for Postsecondary Education and Employment. A Report Submitted to the Florida State Board of Education by the Task Force on High School Preparation for Postsecondary Education and Employment. AN - 62805006; ED370633 AB - Blueprint 2000 is the Florida state policy moving Florida education toward higher standards in the long term, requiring extensive collaboration among the public schools, community colleges, state universities, and the Florida Department of Education. The Task Force on High School Preparation for Postsecondary Education and Employment was formed in June 1993 and charged to review high school graduation requirements and make recommendations to the State Board of Education and the 1994 Legislature to ensure that students are prepared for postsecondary education and that graduation requirements conform to the competency-based goals of the Blueprint 2000 plant. This report presents the 11 Task Force recommendations for: (1) raising expectations by making changes in course requirements, focusing on competencies rather than credits, changing grade point average requirements, aligning curriculum and assessment, and making changes in assessment; (2) ensuring a caring learning environment by supporting staff development to prepare staff for greater involvement with students and for interdisciplinary and/or integrated instruction; (3) providing flexibility for transition to Blueprint 2000 via a modified funding system to support interdisciplinary and/or integrated instruction between vocational and academic courses; and (4) enhancing school, college, and university collaboration. The report concludes with a timeline for implementation of the high school preparation recommendations. Appendixes include a listing of task force members, resource persons, meeting dates, high school graduation requirements, and 1993-94 math and science courses by levels.

AN - 62803337; ED366614 AB - This compilation of recent statistical information on science and mathematics degrees in the United States also describes the larger environment of employment of individuals with science and mathematics degrees and provides some information on non-U.S. citizens receiving degrees in these areas. Data are derived from four survey programs of the National Center for Education Statistics, as well as from other government agencies. On the national level, bachelor's degrees in science and mathematics declined by close to 16 percent between 1985-86 and 1989-90, in contrast to an increase of 6 percent in bachelor's degrees overall. Decreases were found for every state. In contrast, master's degrees in science increased in 37 states and doctoral degrees in science increased in 44 states in the same period. On the national level, master's degrees in science and mathematics rose by 9 percent and doctor's degrees in these field rose by 25 percent. Increases were noted for computer sciences, engineering, and health sciences, but decreases were seen for the agricultural sciences, life sciences, and physical sciences. Nonresident aliens were awarded over 50 of all doctor's degrees in engineering and mathematics in 1989-90, and master's and doctor's degrees in these field increased at a faster rate for nonresident aliens than for U.S. students. Forty-five tables and four charts summarize information on degrees attained. A glossary of terms and a guide to data sources are included.

AN - 62805764; ED364586 AB - This publication was created to meet the needs of policymakers who must establish a context for viewing trends in the well-being of youth. It cuts across disciplines and agency lines, presenting statistics that address important aspects of the lives of youth--family, work, education, health, behavior, and attitudes. Taken together, the data create an outline of the conditions under which young people live in America today and the many challenges they face. An objective is to present changes over time, rather than just snapshots of contemporary conditions. When possible, tables go back as far as 1950. A total of 63 indicators are treated in this report, and each indicator contains a table, a chart, and a brief descriptive text. Tables provide current and trend information, while charts illuminate the tables, highlighting their most important aspects. Indicators are grouped into the following sections that feature particular areas of youth experience: (1) home (demographics and family composition and income); (2) school (description, outcomes, and out-of-school experiences); (3) health; (4) citizenship and values; and (5) the future, especially educational aspirations and employment plans). A glossary is included. (SLD) AU - Snyder, Thomas D.

It includes projections for enrollment, graduates, classroom teachers, and expenditures to the year 2004. Projections reflect the 1990 Census, with the incorporation of 1992 estimates and assumptions for fertility rate, net immigration, and mortality rate. The report also contains a section on methodology, describing models and assumptions used to develop the national projections, which are based on an age-specific enrollment rate model, exponential smoothing models, and econometric models. Most of the projections include three alternatives, based on different assumptions about growth paths. Although the first alternative set of projections in each table is deemed to represent the most likely projection, the low and high alternatives provide a reasonable range of outcomes. Chart 1 provides an overall summary of forecast assumptions. Total enrollment for public and private elementary and secondary education and for higher education is projected to increase to 55.7 million over the projection period, with increases in the numbers of high school and college graduates, the numbers of teachers, and total expenditures. Data are presented in 62 graphs and 44 tables. Five technical appendixes about methodology contain an additional 35 tables. (SLD) AU - Gerald, Debra E. AU - Hussar, William J.

Indicator of the Month. AN - 62802292; ED366657 AB - Most students planning to enter college do so immediately after graduating from high school, and most baccalaureate programs can be completed within 4 years. Taking longer may have a variety of causes and a number of implications, including costs for the individual and the institution. Approximately 31% of college graduates in 1990 completed their baccalaureate degree within 4 years of graduating from high school, while 43% completed it within 4 years of entering college. This percentage was larger for females than males, for students at private colleges than for those at public colleges, and for White students than for Blacks, Hispanic Americans, or American Indians. Between 1977 and 1990, the percentage completing college within 4 years of graduating from high school declined and the percentage taking more than 6 years to graduate increased. Two tables present statistics about graduates by sex, control of institution, and race and ethnicity. Two graphs illustrate trends in times of degree completion.

The National Center for Education Statistics produces many publications each year, including "The Digest of Education Statistics,""The Condition of Education Statistics," and "Projections of Education Statistics." Similar publications can be imagined for environmental data, including the same sorts of indicators to present key features. Issues that will have to be considered in preparing an indicator series on the environment would be: (1) whether confidentiality is a factor in the design of the data system; (2) whether data are collected by sample surveys; (3) how subject-matter specialists fit in; and (4) whether the suggested approach is so "exotic" as to require justification. The previous presentations have shown that better methods for displaying data are needed, and that tools are available to develop them. Two figures illustrate the discussion.

Statistics in Brief. AN - 62811276; ED361882 AB - Findings of a study that examined parent and student perceptions of school learning environments are presented in this document. The data are from the 1993 National Household Education Survey (NHES:93), a national survey conducted by Westat for the National Center for Education Statistics. This report is based on data from telephone interviews conducted with 10,117 parents of students in grades 6-12 and 6,504 students in grades 6-12. A Positive School Environment Scale (PSES) was constructed of seven elements. Overall, parents and students gave relatively positive ratings to the schools with which they had direct and current experience. School ratings varied by school characteristics: public schools were rated lower than private schools; larger schools were rated lower than smaller schools; and middle/junior high schools were rated lower than elementary schools. Despite the generally positive assessments, low percentages of youth strongly agreed that they were challenged at school, that they enjoyed school, and that students and teachers had respect for each other. Low percentages of students also reported that their friends thought it very important to work hard for good grades and to behave well in school. Overall scores did not differ by racial/ethnic or urban/rural factors. Five tables are included.

AN - 62810414; ED369068 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress' (NAEP) 1992 reading assessment was administered to nationally representative samples of 4th-, 8th- and 12-grade students attending public and private schools, and to state representative public-school samples of 4th graders in 43 jurisdictions. In Colorado, 2,897 fourth-grade students in 122 public schools participated in the reading assessment. The sample of students was directly representative of 95% of the eligible student population in participating schools in Colorado. Data were summarized on the NAEP reading proficiency scale ranging from 0 to 500, and results were reported according to three achievement levels at each grade--basic, proficient, and advanced. Major findings were that: (1) the overall average proficiency of the students was 218, about the same as that of students across the nation (216); (2) the lowest performing 10% of the fourth graders had proficiency levels below 175 while the top 10% of the fourth graders had proficiency levels above 257; (3) 60% were at or above the basic level, 22% were at or above the proficient level, and 4% were at or above the advanced level; (4) White students demonstrated higher proficiency that did Black, Hispanic, or American Indian students, but about the same as did Asian students; (5) boys had a lower average reading proficiency than girls; and (6) 70% of the students were taught by teachers who placed heavy emphasis on the integration of reading and writing.

Statistics in Brief. AN - 62807361; ED363429 AB - Opinions vary widely as to what young children should know or be capable of doing to be ready for kindergarten. This paper looks at the beliefs held by two groups who play critical roles in the early education of children: parents of preschoolers and kindergarten teachers. Two surveys that were sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education and were conducted in the spring of 1993 asked parents and teachers to rate several attributes and attitudes in terms of their importance to any child's readiness for kindergarten. Parents and teachers agreed that it was very important or essential that the children be able to communicate their needs and wants verbally, and that the children be enthusiastic and curious in approaching new activities. There was considerable disagreement on other characteristics, however. A majority of the parents believed that for a child to be ready to enter kindergarten, knowing the letters of the alphabet, being able to count to 20 or more, and being able to use pencils and paint brushes were very important or essential, whereas few kindergarten teachers shared these beliefs. Four tables and seven endnotes are included. Contains 16 references.

For a half century, Smokey has been helping children and adults protect forests and wildlands from careless fire. With this kit students can celebrate Smokey's message using a variety of activities that include dramatic play, stories, games, and things to make and do. Through these activities, students learn about Smokey Bear, about forests as habitats, and about what they can do to protect the forests. The kit encourages children to recognize Smokey Bear as a symbol of forest fire prevention and to take pride in their own responsible behavior toward fire. The lessons and activities in the guide were designed for the classroom teacher of kindergarten and first, second, and third grades. The kit provides 11 lessons that include both individual and whole group activities. The booklet provides teachers with background facts about Smokey Bear, fire, and forest habitats. Ten other activities comprise the main body of the document. Each activity is described, and objectives, grade level, group size, and materials are specified.

AN - 62803253; ED363647 AB - This report is based on information from the 1991-92 "Public Elementary and Secondary School Universe" and the "Public Elementary and Secondary Education Agency Universe" surveys of education in the United States. These are two of the surveys of the Common Core of Data collected annually by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics. Nineteen tables summarize statistical information for each school and education agency as supplied by state education agency officials. The 84,578 public schools represent a slight increase over the number for the previous school year. The average student body size of public schools of 522 in 1991-92 was slightly larger than that of 1990-91, with high schools generally larger than elementary schools. The median pupil-teacher ratio in 1991-92 was 18.3 students for each teacher in elementary schools, 17.0 students for each teacher in middle schools, and 15.4 students for each teacher in high schools. The number of school districts declined slightly to 15,173. The 1.2 percent of school districts in the largest size range (25,000 or more students) served some 29.1 percent of the nation's public school students. Two appendixes contain sample survey forms for the school and agency surveys. The text also contains information on survey methodology and definitions and abbreviations.

The Trial State Assessment at Grade 4. AN - 62427268; ED426391 AB - In 1990, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) included a Trial State Assessment (TSA); for the first time in NAEP's history, voluntary state-by-state assessments were made. In 1992, the NAEP Program included an expanded TSA in fourth-grade reading. The 1992 reading assessment considered students' performance in situations that involved reading different kinds of materials for different purposes. The fourth-grade assessment measured two global purposes for reading--reading for literary experience and reading to gain information. In Utah, 2,829 students in 108 public schools were assessed. This report describes the reading proficiency of Utah fourth-graders and compares their overall performance to students in the West region of the United States and the nation (using data from the NAEP national assessments). The distribution of reading results and reading achievement level results are provided for subpopulations of students (race/ethnicity, type of location, parents' educational level, and gender, and performance according to purpose for reading). To provide a context for the assessment data, participating public school students, their reading teachers, and principals completed questionnaires which focused on: policies and practices related to reading (time for instructional activities and instructional resources for reading); delivery of reading instruction (instructional materials and activities, workbooks/worksheets/writing, discussion and group activities, time to read, reading and use of libraries, assessing progress in reading); reading instructors (preparation, experience and professional development); students' home support for literacy (reading outside of school and in the home and hours of television watched per day). The average reading proficiency of fourth-grade public school students in Utah on the NAEP reading scale was 222 compared to 216 nationwide.

E.D. TABS. AN - 62894733; ED359888 AB - Using two large national survey databases, a study was done of trends in degrees conferred by colleges and universities. The data were gathered from: (1) the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) 1986-87 through 1990-91 "Completions" surveys, and the 1990 and 1991 "Consolidated" surveys; and (2) the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) 1984-85 survey of "Degrees and Other Formal Awards Conferred in Institutions of Higher Education." These surveys collected information on degrees conferred by level of award (associate's, bachelor's, master's, doctor's, first-professional; race, ethnicity, and sex of recipients; and major field of study. The results are displayed in eight tables. Highlights of the study include the following: (1) the number of all degrees awarded in 1990-91 increased by 2.7 percent over the previous year with the greatest increase occurring among Hispanics; (2) degrees awarded to women accounted for 54 percent of the total degrees in 1990-91; (3) computer and information sciences, engineering and related technologies, and theology were the only fields experiencing a decline in bachelor's degrees awarded; and (4) over the 6-year span of the study the number of master's and doctor's degrees had the largest overall percentage increases. Appendixes contain a crosswalk for selected fields and four additional tables.

Contractor Report. Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62888664; ED360313 AB - This report on the supply of newly qualified teachers (NQTs) is based primarily on data from the Recent College Graduates (RCG) study of 1991. The survey, which was originally designed to provide information on NQTs alone, was expanded to cover graduates in all major fields of study; however, it continues to emphasize graduates qualified to teach at the elementary or secondary school level. It focuses on the number, characteristics, and teaching status of NQTs who were defined as college graduates receiving a bachelor's or master's degree between July 1, 1989, and June 30, 1990; who became eligible or certified to teach during that same period; and who had not been employed as teachers before receiving their degree. The number of NQTs who graduated from the nation's colleges and universities increased from 126,200 in 1986 to 140,500; the number at the master's level decreased by 1,000. Of the NQTs in 1991, 71 percent were female. Among NQTs, about 50 percent had a grade point average of 3.25 or above, compared to 42 percent of other bachelor's degree recipients. Fifty-nine percent of the NQTs had majored in education, about the same as the percentage in 1987 (57 percent). One year after graduation, 91 percent of the NQTs were employed, 73 percent full-time. The average annual salary for NQTs who were employed full time was $19,200 in 1991, compared to $24,200 for other bachelor's degree recipients. Of all NQTs, 85 percent were eligible or certified to teach at the elementary or secondary level. A bibliography of RCG reports and numerous text tables and figures are included. Four appendixes provide tables containing additional data referenced in text, tables with standard errors for data reported in text, technical notes, and definitions of terms and codes used in the report.

AN - 62808909; ED362322 AB - To examine the proposition that students who do not remain active participants in class or school may be at risk for school failure, regardless of status characteristics such as ethnicity or family income, two studies of engagement and achievement were conducted. The studies used a nationwide sample of eighth-grade students from the U.S. Department of Education's National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) survey. The first study examined the association of participation in school and classroom activities with academic achievement in 15,737 eighth-graders attending public schools. The study found that participation and academic achievement were positively related, even after controlling for gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. The second study examined behaviors that distinguish students who are at risk, but who are successful in school subjects, from their less successful peers. A sample of 5,945 eighth-graders identified as at risk by virtue of race, home language or socioeconomic status were classified as unsuccessful, passing, or successful, based on reading and mathematics achievement tests. It was found that achievement groups were distinct in terms of variety of classroom participation behaviors, out-of-class participation, and interactions with their parents regarding school. Three major conclusions were drawn from the investigation: (1) behavioral risk factors are indeed related to significant outcomes of schooling; (2) risk behaviors have their roots in the early school years or before; and (3) more attention should be given by educators and researchers to encouraging the potential of "marginal" students. Further research is needed to identify manipulable aspects of classroom and school processes that encourage student engagement. Appendices provide details of the measures used in the studies and the standard deviations and correlations of the measures. Contains 91 references. (MDM) AU - Finn, Jeremy D.

Issue Brief. AN - 62803224; ED364571 AB - In recent years, concern over students dropping out of school has increased. A primary focus is the size of the dropout population, a question that has been addressed in two National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) longitudinal studies. Both studies provide the data needed to consider the dropout experiences between the sophomore and senior years of two groups of students a decade apart in time. Over the 10 years between the 1980-82 High School and Beyond survey (HS&B) and the 1990-92 data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) (follow-ups), there was a 43 percent reduction in the percent of sophomores who dropped out of school. The NELS:88 rate for the sophomore cohort of 1990 is 6.2 percent. Relative rankings for racial and ethnic groups did not change over the decade, and in both cohorts the dropout rates for Hispanics were higher than those for Whites and Asians. Rates for Blacks were between those of Hispanic Americans and Whites. In both periods, failure in school and dislike for school were major factors leading students to drop out of school. Pregnancy and marriage were important factors influencing females' decisions to leave school early. Three figures illustrate the discussion.

The introductory section points out that the United States has no centralized authority exercising national control over its educational institutions and that nongovernmental, peer evaluation of educational institutions and programs by private educational associations insures a basic level of quality. The full text of the federal regulations regarding the procedures and criteria for recognizing accrediting agencies is provided. The document includes a discussion of the functions of accreditation, the accrediting procedure, types of accreditation, and the role of nongovernmental coordinating agencies. Accrediting bodies are listed under the following categories: regional institutional accrediting associations; regional institutional accrediting commissions; national institutional and specialized accrediting bodies (by subject); and accrediting agencies and associations recognized for their preaccreditation categories. Usually provided in each listing is agency name; dates of original, most recent, and next regular review; director, address, and phone number.

AN - 62890874; ED360380 AB - The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) represents the union of three surveys by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the Teacher Demand and Shortage Survey, the School and School Administrator Surveys, and the Teacher Survey. The SASS measures critical aspects of teaching supply and demand, the composition of the teacher and administrator workforce, and the status of teaching and schooling in general. The merger of the studies produces one database. SASS is designed to provide estimates to meet its analytical goals: (1) national estimates for public and private schools; (2) state estimates for public schools; (3) state/elementary, state/secondary, and national combined public school estimates; (4) detailed association estimates and grade school estimates for private schools; (5) estimates of change from 1988 to 1991 in school level characteristics; and (6) national estimates for schools with greater than 25% American Indian enrollment. This report describes the procedures used in the following areas: (1) school and teacher sample stratum allocation; (2) overlapping 1988 and 1991 SASS samples; (3) public school sample design; (4) local education agency sample design; (5) private school sample design; (6) teacher sample design (including within school teacher allocation); (7) weighting; (8) imputation; (9) variance estimation techniques; and (10) frame evaluation. Changes in the study design since the inception of the study in 1987-88 are reviewed. Twenty figures and 24 tables illustrate the study design and changes.

Statistical Analysis Report. AN - 62808395; ED361352 AB - Data for this report are taken from the 1987-88 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), which was designed to measure teacher supply and demand conditions, characteristics of the teacher workforce, and factors related to teacher supply and demand. This analysis used a subsample of the SASS teacher sample consisting of 2,041 newly hired public school teachers and 954 newly hired private school teachers. In the 1987-88 school year, 152,000 teachers were newly hired, 112,000 in public and 40,000 in private schools. Only 27 percent of public and 19 percent of private school teachers were supplied by the pool of "newly minted" college graduates who have traditionally met the nation's demand for new teachers. The primary source for new hires was the reserve pool of former teachers. Reentrants supplied 41 percent of new hires for public schools and 44 percent in private schools. Transfers from other teaching positions supplied 19 percent of public and 23 percent of private new hires. A fourth source of new hires was the delayed entrant, first-year teachers who engaged in other activities after completing their degrees but before entering teaching. Measures of teacher qualifications are needed to distinguish better among teachers of varying quality. Continued reporting of these data will be useful in tracking the relative contribution of each supply source in meeting the demand for newly hired teachers. Ten tables and five figures present survey findings. Technical notes on survey methodology are included, and an appendix contains 10 tables of standard errors. (SLD) AU - Rollefson, Mary R.

Statistics are based on data from two of the four surveys of the Common Core of Data program of the National Center for Education Statistics. In comparing findings of the State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary and Secondary Education and the National Public Education Financial Survey with those of previous years, several findings stand out. There were 42.0 million students in public schools in 1991-92, an increase of 1.9 percent over the previous year's total. The 2.2 million high school graduates for 1990-91 represent a decrease from 1989-90, although the ratio of graduates to 12th-grade enrollment increased slightly. Of the 4.5 million school staff reported for 1991-92, 53.5 percent were teachers and 410,000 were teacher aides. The national ratio of total students to total teachers in 1991-92 was 17.3 students per teacher, a slight increase over the previous year. Total reported revenues for public elementary and secondary education were 222.8 billion dollars for 1990-91, compared with 207.7 billion dollars for 1989-90. Expenditures averaged 4,890 dollars per pupil in membership.

Schools and Staffing Survey. E.D. Tabs. AN - 62873237; ED359225 AB - This report on the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) of 1990-91 presents data on public and private schools, school administrators, and teachers. Data reported for schools include programs or services offered, schools with students receiving Chapter 1 services, graduation rates, and college application rates. The SASS was first conducted in 1987-88 and repeated in 1990-91. It is planned for 3-year intervals in the future. The approximately 80,000 public schools and nearly 25,000 private schools account for approximately 76 percent and 24 percent, respectively, of the almost 105,000 schools in the United States. Of the nation's 44.8 million children in kindergarten through 12th grade, about 89.6 percent were enrolled in public schools. Among the highlights from the survey are the following: (1) some 8.5 percent of public school teachers and 14.5 percent of private school teachers were newly hired in 1990-91; (2) almost 5.4 million public school students and about 200,000 private school students received publicly funded Chapter 1 services in 1990-91; (3) the percent of public high school graduates who applied to college averaged 53 percent compared to 76 percent private school rates; (4) a Master's degree is the highest degree held by 60.5 percent of public school principals and 47.4 percent of private school principals; (5) about one-quarter of public school teachers and 11 percent of private school teachers had over 20 years of full-time teaching experience in school year 1990-91; and (6) the average base salary of public school teachers was $31,296 and $19,783 for private school teachers. Study data are presented in 38 tables, and there are 26 tables of supplemental data in Appendix A. (SLD) AU - Bobbitt, Sharon A.

Statistics in Brief. AN - 62868342; ED358365 AB - A survey of educational activities of adults in the United States was a component of the 1991 National Household Education Survey, a telephone survey of 12,568 adults. This survey found that 32 percent of adults, defined as persons aged 17 and over, were enrolled in a part-time educational activity over a 12-month period in 1990-91. Eleven percent of senior citizens participated in such educational activities. Most frequently, participants wanted to improve, advance, or keep up to date in their current jobs. Other reasons included personal enrichment, training for a new job, and obtaining a diploma or degree. The reasons cited depended on the participants' age, sex, race/ethnicity, and educational attainment. Young adults were more likely to participate to obtain a diploma or train for a new job. Men were more likely to enroll in courses to improve or update their work skills in their current jobs; women were likely to enroll in courses for personal, family, or social reasons. More Whites than Blacks or Hispanics took courses to improve skills in the workplace. Whites were more likely to enroll for a diploma or degree than Blacks and less likely to train for a new job or to enroll in basic skills than Hispanics. Adults with some postsecondary education were more likely to participate in adult education. (Three data tables and one figure illustrate participation rates and main reason for participating by age, sex, parental status, race/ethnicity, and educational attainment and standard errors for those participation rates.)

The survey found that 98.7 percent of principals had taught an average of 10.6 years before taking their administrative positions. The number of years of teaching increased with age; those under 40 spent an average of 8 years teaching, and those 50 or over spent an average of 11.3 years teaching. Nearly half of the principals surveyed, 49.8 percent, held other administrative positions in education for an average of 5.7 years before becoming principals. About 17 percent of the principals held nonteaching, nonadministrative positions such as guidance counselor, librarian, or curriculum specialist before becoming principals, averaging about 6 years in those positions.

AN - 62858957; ED360318 AB - This study of high school sophomores in 1980 and 1990 compares the experiences of students in the two cohorts, identifying changes in in-school and out-of-school activities, academic achievement, self-concept, values, plans, and aspirations. Similarities and differences between the two groups are documented using data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) and High School and Beyond (HS&B, 1980). HS&B and NELS:88 sophomores are marked by basic demographic differences, including the smaller size of the NELS:88 1990 cohort, reflecting the baby bust of the 1970s, and a higher proportion of racial minority and poverty status sophomores in 1990. NELS:88 sophomores also reflect the influence of various waves of school reform since the late 1970s and early 1980s. Overall, the comparison paints a pictures that is in most respects encouraging in its portrayal of the high school academic orientation and postsecondary expectations of the 1990 sophomore class. Positive changes, however, are typically small or moderate in magnitude. Among the findings are: (1) general and college preparatory program placement has increased, at the expense of vocational program placement; (2) patterns of extracurricular participation changed especially in musical activities (31% in 1980 to 22% in 1990) and in hobby clubs (21% in 1980 to 7% in 1990); (3) changes in sophomores giving high importance to particular life values (e.g., marriage and family 83% rating this as very important in 1980, 72% in 1990); (4) small but statistically significant increase in the number of females aspiring to traditionally male-dominated non-professional occupations (15.6% in 1980 versus 18.% in 1990). Sixteen tables and 13 figures present data from the 2 studies. Three appendixes contain information about the survey sample sizes, standard errors, and other methodological and technical information. Appendix A contains an additional 20 data tables. (Contains 46 references.) (SLD) AU - Rasinski, Kenneth A.

Issue Brief. AN - 62856941; ED360377 AB - Future trends in enrollment projections are useful to school planners who are involved in making decisions about long-term requirements for school facilities and teachers. The 5- to 17-year-old population is expected to increase by 13 percent over the projection period to 2003. During the projection period, total enrollment is expected in 1996 to surpass the level of 1971 (the previous peak), which is 2 years earlier than the previous projection. Enrollment in kindergarten through grade 8 reached its low in 1984 and has risen since, while enrollment in grades 9 through 12 did not reach a low until 1990. Enrollment in high schools is projected to increase by 22 percent. Trends are likely to differ by region and state. The present projections, the first ones based on 1990 Census figures, are higher than those previously presented. Three tables present enrollment projections and a comparison with past projections.

A Summary of the Beginning Activities. AN - 62873699; ED359856 AB - This report explores the issues and concerns related to the development of a process to assess college student learning. Its primary focus is the attainment of National Education Goal 5.5 by the year 2000 which reads, "The proportion of college graduates who demonstrate an advanced ability to think critically, communicate effectively, and solve problems will increase substantially." The primary source of information for this report came from a set of 15 papers commissioned as background for a study design workshop held in November 1991, 45 reviews of the papers, and the proceedings of the study design workshop, "National Assessment of College Student Learning: Issues and Concerns." Chapter 1 addresses what it means to undertake a national assessment of college student learning and raises issues inherent in such a national assessment. Chapter 2 considers what specific skills should be assessed (critical thinking skills, assessment in the workplace, assessment in the colleges--basic skills and general intellectual skills, literacy and writing assessments, and necessary research). Chapter 3 raises six standards and other measurement issues: (1) relationship of standards to the task of defining a national assessment of college student learning; (2) historical context for standards; (3) relationship of standards of National Assessment of College Student Learning to the overall charge of Goal 5; (4) the testing of subject-specific content domains; (5) reasonableness of a single set of standards; (6) and the debate over portfolio assessment and its relationship to standards and values issues.

AN - 62861926; ED360389 AB - This is the third periodic report on the programs and plans of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The challenge facing the NCES is to collect and analyze data that track the growth and change in educational experience in the United States. Current programs toward this goal, future plans, and major publications of the NCES are described. In addition to updating the descriptions of traditional standard data collections, such as the Common Core of Data (CCD) and the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), this edition focuses on some of the NCES's new and innovative work. The availability of data sets, including the CCD and IPEDS databases, in electronic, machine readable format is highlighted. The work of the NCES is described in the following sections: (1) elementary and secondary education; (2) postsecondary education; (3) educational assessment; (4) national longitudinal studies; (5) vocational education; (6) library statistics program; and (7) annual publications. Each section describes the studies and surveys conducted in each respective area, with plans, selected publications, and the data collection calendar for work in the area.

After analyzing existing testing procedures, the committee concluded that Chapter 1's overreliance on a single testing method, aggregated gain scores on standardized norm-referenced tests, does not provide adequate information by which to judge the progress of students, the quality of the school-level program, or the effectiveness of the national program. The Committee recommended that: (1) the Federal Government periodically evaluate the national effectiveness of Chapter 1 by evaluating the achievement of a representative sample of eligible student beginning in grade 3; (2) states should develop and implement several types of standards; (3) local education agencies should assess the progress of participant children using state-developed assessment methods; (4) teachers should assess students using a variety of methods; (5) school districts should use multiple indicators; (6) assessment should be compatible with schoolwide service delivery; (7) a transition period of 5 years should be allowed; and (8) funds should be set aside for staff development.

AN - 62872185; ED359226 AB - Basic descriptive information is provided about the 100 largest school districts in the United States and its outlying areas during the 1990-91 school year. The 100 largest public school districts, representing fewer than 1 percent of all school districts, were responsible for educating 23 percent of all public school students. Characteristics that are noted include average and medium size, student-teacher ratios, number of high school graduates, numbers of pupils receiving special education, and minority enrollment as a proportion of total enrollment. This information is contained in nine basic tables. Almost all of these districts encompass large cities, but only about half are confined to city limits. About 70 percent are in coastal states, and of the 89 districts for which student racial/ethnic information was reported, 47 districts have over 50 percent minority enrollment. The 100 districts employ about 23 percent of the nation's public school teachers and accounted for about 17 percent of all public schools and over 19 percent of public high school graduates. Schools in these districts tended to be 39 percent larger than the average U.S. school and to have a slightly higher pupil/teacher ratio than those in other districts. The nine basic tables and the three tables listing selected statistics present data collected by the National Center for Education Statistics for the Common Core of Data. One figure illustrates the location of these districts. Three appendixes list the largest districts and contain the survey documents for the elementary school and secondary school universes and the school agency universe.

AN - 62862275; ED360190 AB - This report presents the mathematics assessment results from the 1992 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The assessment included nearly 250,000 fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth-grade students attending approximately 10,000 schools across the nation and the states. Students' performance is categorized into three achievement levels: Basic, Proficient, and Advanced. Among the major findings were that: (1) for the nation there were statistically significant increases in average mathematics proficiency in all grades and in both public and private schools from 1990 to 1992; (2) despite these positive findings, 60 percent of the students in grades 4, 8, and 12 were estimated to be at or above the Basic level on the 1992 mathematics assessment; (3) considerable variation in performance existed within and across states and territories; (4) increases in mathematics proficiency between 1990 and 1992 did little to alter the relative standings of the demographic groups; (5) gains were noted in the content areas of numbers and operations, measurement, geometry, data analysis, and algebra, and (6) one-fifth of the 4th graders, two-thirds of the 8th graders, and 90 percent of the 12th graders demonstrated ability in solving two-step problems involving multiplication and division. Chapter 1 contains overall achievement results for the states by grade and by state. Chapter 2 contains results for the nation and states by the demographic groups of race/ethnicity (White, Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian); gender; type of community (advantaged urban, disadvantaged urban, extreme rural, and other); parents' highest level of education; and type of school (public, Catholic, private). Chapter 3 contains national and state mathematical content areas of estimation, numbers and operations, measurement, geometry, statistics, algebra, and functions. The four appendices, one-third of the document, discuss NAEP's anchor-level results, the guidelines for sample participation, state contextual background factors, and an overview of the procedures used in the 1992 mathematics assessments.

E.D. TABS. AN - 62848262; ED357769 AB - State and national FY91 data are aggregated from individual public libraries in the United States. These data were collected under the fourth annual census of the Federal-State Cooperative System (FSCS) in July of 1992. Respondents for this voluntary census were 9,050 public libraries identified in the 50 states and the District of Columbia by state library agencies. This report begins by presenting highlights of the findings, including the following: over 69% of the population of legally served areas in the United States is served by 959 (nearly 11 percent) public libraries and their outlets; public libraries reported a total of 108,187 paid full time equivalent staff; and nationwide, public libraries reported nearly 629 million book and serial volumes, 20 million audio materials, about 615,000 films, and over 5.5 million video materials in their collections. The introduction then describes the universe represented by the data, data collection and use of technology, quality review, and unit and item responses to the survey. Also included are caveats for using the data, information for ordering related machine-readable data and publications, and a source for additional information on public library statistics. The data are presented in 16 pairs of tables, which make up the major part of the report. These tables summarize information that was supplied to National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in machine-readable format by state library agencies on a voluntary basis. The information includes data on staffing, service outlets, operating income and expenditures, size of collection, and service measures such as reference transactions, interlibrary loans, circulation, and public service hours. Four appendices provide information on the background of the FSCS; data error messages and historical data check criteria; characteristics file specifications; and data element specifications for 1991.

AN - 62782473; ED362522 AB - This study expands on research conducted by Bobbitt and Weaver (1992) that assessed the experience of beginning teachers in the context of the "crucible versus cradle" paradigm. Using nationally representative data on teachers from the National Center for Education Statistics' Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) of 1990-91, the analysis sought to determine those characteristics of teachers and schools that relate to how new teachers perceive their working conditions. The sample consisted of regular, full-time public school teachers (N=5,275) and regular, full-time private school teachers (N=1,459) who had 3 or fewer years of full-time teaching experience. A scale measuring the combined effects of each teacher's perceptions of their assignment difficulty and the support that the school gives to new teachers was developed from items on the SASS Public School Teachers questionnaire. Findings indicated that beginning teachers in elementary schools are much more likely to feel "nurtured" than their counterparts in secondary schools, regardless of whether they were in public or private schools, and that Black, non-Hispanic public school teachers experienced more positive teaching environments than any other racial/ethnic group. The document concludes with a discussion of implications for further research and four statistical tables. (LL) AU - Bobbitt, Sharon A.

AN - 62781697; ED361396 AB - This report deals with a variety of ways that have been, or could be, used to interpret the scales used in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Policymakers, researchers, and other users of assessment results need to understand the methods used for reporting NAEP. Having a reference is particularly important as the methods of reporting are changing. Chapter 1 covers the following methods that have been used, or could be used, to interpret scales: (1) percentage correct for each item; (2) average percentage correct; (3) item mapping; (4) scale anchoring; (5) achievement levels; (6) using scoring rubrics; and (7) benchmarking. The contrast between anchor levels and achievement levels is discussed. Chapter 2 discusses the distinction between norm-referenced and criterion-referenced interpretations, and the validity of the inferences drawn from NAEP interpretations. Issues of validity are especially important with regard to achievement levels, because they represent an effort to go beyond describing, to prescribing recommended levels of achievement for the nation. Eleven figures and four tables present analysis data. An appendix provides exemplar exercises for scale anchoring and for achievement levels. (SLD) AU - Phillips, Gary W.

Outline of Remarks at a National Seminar on Equity and Educational Testing and Assessment. AN - 62777784; ED361369 AB - An outline of remarks made at a National Seminar on Equity and Educational Testing and Assessment in March of 1993 is provided. Issues of equity in education and educational assessment are discussed in the context of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The NAEP is a national test in the sense that it monitors what is happening in the nation, but it is not a national examination for individual students in the sense that the term has been used in recent discussions. There continues to be considerable debate about the proper role for the NAEP. The National Council on Education Standards and Testing has suggested that the present NAEP functions well as a measurement of and report on trends, and should be kept separate from a new national system of examinations. The NAEP has been sensitive to equity issues and eliminating bias in assessment. As the NAEP moves into the area of performance assessment, new equity issues are emerging. Some recent examples of differences in performance by racial groups are highlighted. For the NAEP to be the diagnostic tool it is meant to be, the Federal Government needs to improve the capability of its assessment data, and educators must make sure that teachers and principals receive the training they need to use NAEP information effectively.

The report includes eight tables (80 percent of the report) that summarize fall enrollment information. Tables 1 and 2 show enrollment trends for institutions of higher education by racial/ethnic categories and by selected institutional characteristics (by control of institution and by type of institution), biennially for fall 1982 through fall 1990, and 1991. Tables 3 and 4 provide data on total enrollment in institutions of higher education by racial/ethnic category and by selected student characteristics (by sex and by level of study) from biennially, fall 1982 through fall 1990, and 1991. Table 5 shows final fall 1990 enrollment in institutions of higher education, by state and by racial/ethnic category. Table 6 shows final fall 1991 enrollment in institutions of higher education, by state and by racial/ethnic category. Table 7 shows the rates of response to the IPEDS fall 1991 enrollment survey, by state. Finally, table 8 shows the percentage of student enrollment that was imputed for each sector by state (fall 1991). Among the findings it is revealed that: (1) larger numbers of women enroll in higher education than men; (2) undergraduate enrollments in higher education increased from 1982 to 1991 across all racial/ethnic groups; and (3) enrollment by minority groups increased at a higher rate than for white, non-Hispanics.

Issue Brief. AN - 62866763; ED357489 AB - Recent concern about teacher shortages has raised questions about the attractiveness of the teaching profession. This issue brief examines whether teacher salaries have increased in recent years, how they compare with salaries in other entry-level occupations, and how they vary within and across school districts in the nation. Data on scheduled teacher salaries for school years 1987-88 and 1990-91 were obtained from the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), a nationally representative sample of public school districts. Findings indicate that teacher salaries are important indicators of the relative economic well-being of teachers and of general teacher supply-and-demand conditions in the United States. First, teacher salaries kept pace with the increase in the cost of living during 1988-91. Second, although teachers may find higher salaries in certain regions of the country and in the larger school districts, entry-level teacher salaries are not competitive with salaries paid in other entry-level positions. Third, the real cost in salary to new bachelor degree recipients who choose a teaching career, particularly for those in computer science, mathematics, and physical sciences, remains high. Three tables are included. (LMI) AU - Rollefson, Mary AU - Rohr, Carol L.

AN - 62866023; ED354623 AB - This report attempts to provide a comprehensive picture of total federal financial support for education since fiscal year 1980 when the U.S. Department of Education became an independent agency. Six detailed tables in the appendix have additional historical data for fiscal years 1965, 1970, and 1975. Assembling data on federal funds for education is difficult because education programs are found in dozens of federal departments and agencies. To the extent possible, outlays, the actual amount of dollars spent, were used. Education funding is categorized as on-budget support, nonfederal funds generated by federal programs, and federal tax expenditures. On-budget funding for federal programs is generally set through annual Congressional appropriations. This report shows current and constant dollar comparisons. Data are presented in 13 tables and 3 figures. Additional technical information appears in the Sources and Methodology section followed by a list of definitions. Federal support for education is estimated to be $75.8 billion in fiscal year (FY) 92, an increase of 93 percent since FY 80. After adjustment for inflation, the increase amounts to 13 percent. Between FY 80 and FY 92, after adjusting for inflation, federal program funds for elementary and secondary education increased 3 percent; postsecondary education funds declined 23 percent; other education funds increased 51 percent; and funds for research at universities and university-administered research and development centers increased 48 percent.

AN - 62860609; ED355046 AB - The National Household Education Survey (NHES) collects data on the educational activities of the United States population. NHES is designed as a telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized population of the United States. The survey was fielded for the first time in 1991 and will be conducted annually beginning in 1993. Each survey will examine a different topic or topics related to education. This report presents findings from the 1991 NHES, which examined young children's participation in nonparental care and early education programs. The first part of the report provides background information on the survey. The second part presents data on the relationship between preschoolers' participation in nonparental care and early childhood education programs, and child characteristics, family characteristics, and maternal employment. The third part presents data on the relationship between the number of hours per week preschoolers spend in nonparental care and early education programs, and child characteristics, family socioeconomic characteristics, and maternal employment. Preschool children's participation in home-based and center-based programs is discussed in the fourth part. The fifth part examines the relationship between children's participation in the child care arrangement in which they spend the most time per week, and child characteristics, family characteristics, and maternal employment. The sixth part discusses characteristics of center-based programs, including group size and child-staff ratios. The report is summarized in the seventh part. A discussion of the survey methodology is included. (Contains 17 references.)

An introduction addresses specifications for the 1992 assessment, and describes reporting in terms of achievement levels established by the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB). Another section offers national student profiles for the three grades, including comparisons to student profiles from the 1990 assessment. A mathematics achievement section considers national performance by race/ethnicity, gender, region, community type, and school type; and offers comparisons with 1990 assessment data. Data show that: (1) student mathematics achievement improved between 1990 and 1992 (the average proficiency score increased for the 3 grades, a greater percentage of students at all 3 grade levels reached the achievement level standard of basic or above, and a greater percentage of students in grades 4 and 8 reached the achievement level standard of proficient or above); and (2) about 2 in 10 students reached the solid academic achievement level (proficient or above), while nearly 4 in 10 did not reach the partial mastery level (basic or above), 18 percent of fourth graders reached the proficient level or above, as did 25 percent of the eighth graders and 16 percent of the 12th graders, 36 to 39 percent of the students were below the basic level, and 2 to 4 percent reached the advanced level. Six tables are included. An appendix provides additional data and supporting material. (RLC) AU - Elliott, Emerson J.

AN - 62873567; ED356306 AB - This study evaluated how public school districts collect, disaggregate, and analyze student outcome data. A survey was mailed to research directors and test directors responsible for assessments in 142 public school districts to determine if the districts have the capacity to analyze opportunity to learn (OTL) data, what their interest level is in the data, and what obstacles they face in collecting and analyzing OTL data. At least 20 percent of the respondents received follow-up telephone interviews. District size, urbanicity, and geographic area were analyzed using open-ended responses. Ninety-one (64 percent) of the school districts responded. Respondents ranged from program evaluators to assistant superintendents; 56 percent were directors and managers of research and evaluation, and 61 percent came from urban public school districts. Results show that OTL is virtually an unknown concept in the United States. Students' differences in academic achievement are not being related to an analysis of OTL. Most districts limit test data disaggregation to race/ethnicity. Lack of OTL information hampers teachers' abilities to improve their teaching practices. Policy recommendations include: (1) raise the awareness and knowledge levels of all parties responsible for educating students; and (2) train public school district personnel to use OTL information, encourage OTL data collection, and do more research on the quality of instructional delivery. Fourteen data tables, the OTL Questionnaire, "Opportunity To Learn: The Need for a Comprehensive Definition for Substantive Data Analysis" (Floraline I. Stevens), and the OTL Survey Follow-Up Interview Protocol are included. (Contains 49 references.) (RLC) AU - Stevens, Floraline I.

Issue Brief. AN - 62867836; ED355620 AB - The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics in 1987-88 and 1990-91, asked teachers and principals their view of problems in their schools. When asked about a range of school problems including absenteeism, student drug abuse, and physical conflicts among students, teachers and principals could respond that each problem was either a serious problem, moderate problem, minor problem, or not a problem in their schools. The 1990-91 survey demonstrated that both teachers and principals perceive the lack of parental involvement as a serious school problem. Among secondary school teachers, at least 10 percent of public school teachers cited apathy, poverty, absenteeism, disrespect for teachers, parental alcoholism and/or drug abuse, and tardiness as serious school problems. Behaviors and attitudes of students were more likely to be seen as problematic by teachers at the secondary level than at the elementary level. Parental alcoholism was described as "serious" by both public elementary and secondary teachers. Private school teachers were less likely to report student attitudes and behaviors or parental substance abuse as serious problems. In 1991, fewer secondary school teachers at both public and private schools cited student alcohol and drug abuse as serious problems than in 1988. Fewer teachers cited weapons possession as a serious problem in 1991 than in 1988. (TEJ) AU - Bobbitt, Sharon A. AU - Rohr, Carol L.

AN - 62784075; ED364628 AB - Students in poverty areas still perform poorly on achievement tests, have high dropout rates, and are not receiving the kind of assistance they need. This paper reports the educational experiences and needs of middle school students in poverty. Specific topics include: (1) the distribution of middle school students in poverty by social background, community type, and geographic region; (2) educational opportunities for middle school students in poverty as measured by school characteristics, curriculum, teacher qualification, and special services; (3) deficiencies in student performance in school; and (4) educational emphases for the future. In addressing most of these topics, students in poverty are compared with less economically disadvantaged students. Study results do not show any significant differences in curriculum requirements and offerings; thus, no special effort would be necessary in that area. However, the study does reveal deficiencies in teacher qualifications for students in poverty. More qualified and experienced teachers, especially teachers with positive attitudes toward students, are needed in schools where students in poverty concentrate. In these schools, emphasis should be placed on programs for improved safety and discipline, teacher improvement, improved student attendance and classroom behaviors, and improved communication with parents including support to parents in teaching students what is right.

AN - 62781811; ED364629 AB - An explanation of why Asian American students perform better than others in school may lie in the nature of the learning programs they receive at home. The purpose of this paper is to define such programs that account for most of the differences in academic achievement among racial/ethnic groups. Data were used from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 concerning family characteristics and learning activities at home from parents and students, as well as school experience and school performance of students, and the findings from previous research in the area of student performance. Areas analyzed involved such categories as demographic environment of the family, discipline and effort, parental assistance, educational pressure, and educational opportunities. The first analysis examined whether the selected variables of learning programs at home were significantly related to student achievement as measured by the combined test scores of students on reading and mathematics tests. A second analysis examined whether there were differences in these variables between Asian American students and students from other racial-ethnic backgrounds. Two major findings were drawn from the study: (1) learning programs at home are important factors in student academic achievement (students from families supportive of learning are likely to have high achievement scores); and (2) learning programs at home account for most of the difference in student achievement among racial-ethnic groups.

First, an executive summary identifies report highlights. Among these highlights are: a 3.9 percent increase in the number of children and youth with disabilities; full implementation of Part H requirements (services to infants, toddlers, and preschool children) by 18 states; a movement towards greater independence for out-of-school youth with disabilities; and increased training for federal officials responsible for reviewing and approving state plans. Chapter 1 provides national statistics and child count data for school year 1991-92 on numbers of children receiving services in various categories and settings, exit status, and personnel employed and needed. Chapter 2 discusses early childhood programs for children with disabilities, with emphasis on Part H and Section 619 of IDEA as well as two discretionary programs to improve service delivery. The independence of out-of-school youth with disabilities is the subject of chapter 3, which reports data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study on outcomes for youth with disabilities 3 to 5 years after leaving school. Chapter 4 describes federal efforts to assist states and localities in implementing special education and related services, with particular attention to activities of the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). Additional detail is provided in appendices which include data tables, OSEP special education personnel training information, information about special studies contracts on evaluation of IDEA, summaries and abstracts of state agency/federal evaluation studies, information about additional special populations, and profiles of the program agenda.

AN - 62776727; ED365748 AB - Chapter 1 is a federal assistance program that provides supplementary financial aid to public school districts, attempting to improve the educational opportunities of educationally deprived children residing in high poverty areas. The program assists qualified students in both public and private schools. This brochure answers questions that private school educators and parents often ask about the Chapter 1 program. The same standards for residence and achievement level apply to students whether they are enrolled in public or private schools. The public school district determines who will participate, selecting children with the greatest need first, and determining the subjects and grade levels to be included in the Chapter 1 project. Services must be provided by personnel employed by the public school district who maintain contact with the students' private school instructors. Services to religiously affiliated private schools must be provided in sites not physically or educationally identified with the functions of the religiously affiliated schools, such as nearby schools or portable units. This provision does not preclude computer-assisted instruction within the school. Parents from private schools participate in program activities as do the parents from public schools. Funding and the steps that private school officials must take to receive services and meet requirements are outlined.

Included are projections for enrollment, graduates, classroom teachers, and expenditures to the year 2003. These projections reflect the 1990 census and assumptions of a higher fertility rate and net immigration, and a lower mortality rate than previously projected. A methodology section describes models and assumptions used to develop the projections, which are based on an age-specific enrollment rate model, exponential smoothing models, and econometric models. Most projections include three alternatives, based on different assumptions about growth paths. The first set of alternatives in each table is deemed to be the most likely. Total public and private elementary and secondary enrollment is projected to increase to 54.2 million over the projection period. Enrollments in public and private institutions of higher education are projected to increase over the projection period. One chart, 60 figures, and 44 tables present projections. Appendixes include: (1) projection methodology and 23 tables; (2) 11 supplementary tables; (3) data sources; and (4) a glossary. (SLD) AU - Gerald, Debra E. AU - Hussar, William J.

The 1989-90 survey provides data for this report for schools with kindergarten through grade 12 by school size, school level, religious orientation, geographic region, and program emphasis. Data were collected from 26,712 schools, with 4,838,497 students and 331,533 full-time-equivalent teachers. Fifty-five percent of the students attended Catholic schools, with 32 percent attending other religiously affiliated schools, and 13 percent in non-sectarian schools. Most private school students (2.8 million) were enrolled at the elementary school level. Forty-four percent of the teachers worked in the Catholic schools, with 36 percent in other religiously affiliated schools, and 21 percent in non-sectarian schools. Eighty percent of the private school teachers worked full time. Fourteen tables present survey data. A "Technical Notes" section provides methodological information. Appendix A contains 14 standard error tables, and Appendix B presents the Private Schools Survey instrument for 1989-90.

Early Estimates. AN - 62858459; ED354622 AB - The estimates in this publication are key statistics reported early in the 1992-93 school year. They include the number of students in membership, teachers, and high school graduates for public and private elementary and secondary schools, and total revenues and expenditures for the operation of public elementary and secondary schools. The public school estimates consist of three kinds of data: preliminary actual counts for individual states; estimates derived by the states for the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES); and imputed values developed by NCES using a combination of state-specific and national data. Private school early estimates are based on a national probability sample of private schools surveyed in fall 1992. The highlights of the report include the following estimates for the 1992-93 school year: (1) total student membership in all the nation's schools (public and private) is estimated to be 47.6 million students; (2) 2.5 million students are expected to graduate from high school; (3) there are 2.5 million public school teachers; (4) and the cost of public education is $5,372 per student. Data are presented in 13 tables. Technical notes explain the data collection and estimation processes. (MLF) AU - Bobbitt, Sharon A.

AN - 62851587; ED355285 AB - This memorandum presents the report and recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Future of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The Ad Hoc Committee was created by the National Assessment Governing Board in 1992 to prepare recommendations on non-mandated subjects to be assessed by the NAEP and to prepare a discussion paper on policy issues facing the NAEP. The Committee received 107 written responses to the discussion paper from interested individuals and agencies. Focus groups drawn from similar entities provided further commentary. Unanimity of opinion did not exist among commentators, but the following views were predominant: (1) the NAEP should collect state-level data regularly; (2) the NAEP should reflect current and evolving practices; (3) the NAEP should be independent; (4) achievement levels should be set and used; (5) when possible, the NAEP should be equated with tests from other nations; (6) state and local districts should use the NAEP to link local results with national and international results; (7) Congress should allow states and districts to use NAEP results; and (8) legislation should be amended to permit an annual assessment. Recommendations based on these views are presented. Attachments include a schedule of the NAEP assessment through the year 2000, analysis of discussion paper comments, and alternative scenarios for the future of the NAEP.

NAEPfacts. AN - 62869081; ED353330 AB - This document focuses on trends in school and home frameworks for learning found in National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data from 1977 to 1990. Trends in classroom instruction, course taking, students' attitudes, homework versus television viewing, and reading habits and home support for literacy are considered. One table provides data on trends in attitudes toward mathematics at ages 13 and 17 years in 1978 to 1990; and another table provides data on trends in television watching at ages 9, 13, and 17 years from 1982 to 1990. Six questions for discussion are listed. Although classrooms should be student, rather than teacher, centered, NAEP trend data indicate that old habits are difficult to change. Results for science and mathematics show movement toward more advanced high school coursework. NAEP data show that students with more positive attitudes about the value of what they are learning generally have higher achievement levels; however, NAEP trend data also show that students' attitudes changed little either in liking particular subjects or in understanding their utility. NAEP trends for doing homework and watching television are either stable or moving in the wrong direction. Students appear to be infrequent readers, and the few changes that have occurred over time reflect decreases in students' propensity to read.

This report reviews what the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) can and cannot say about education in the United States for kindergarten through grade 12. Six issue areas have been defined by the Indicators Panel convened by the NCES. In the first part of this document, six types of data are juxtaposed against the following six issue areas: (1) institutions and their characteristics; (2) finance; (3) staffing; (4) curriculum and course content; (5) students; and (6) achievement. The second part of this report is then organized into sections that provide information on continuing data collections, new initiatives, and remaining gaps for each of these broad types of education data. Each section contains a description of the availability of the data specific to its subject, a bibliography of current and planned NCES publications on the topic, and a summary chart of the availability of data. The NCES remains committed to providing timely and policy-relevant data. The data collection system maintains its relevance by remaining flexible and responsive to new policy needs. An appendix provides a short profile of each national survey that collects data on education in kindergarten through grade 12. (SLD) AU - Bobbitt, Sharon A.

Data were gathered from the National Center for Education Statistics 1987-88 Schools and Staffing Survey and the 1988-89 Teacher Followup Survey. Results suggest: (1) private schools regularly have to replace a larger percentage of their teacher work force than do public schools; (2) the combination of attrition and migration means an even larger proportional loss of teachers for the private sector in comparison with the public sector; (3) some reasons given for leaving the profession include better pay, other career opportunities, dissatisfaction with teaching as a career, family or personal move, health, pregnancy, or retirement; (4) teachers move to other schools for reasons such as reduction-in-force, lay-off, school closing, school reorganization, and reassignment; and (5) better salary and benefits offered in the public sector attract numerous private school teachers.

Like the earlier manual, this revised and updated version provides a common framework and coding structure to be used in collecting and reporting inventory data on college and university "buildings" and on the spaces within these structures, primarily "rooms." Following an introductory chapter, Chapter 2 of the manual discusses basic concepts and definitions recommended by the manual. Chapter 3 provides guidance for starting such a system, particularly for institutions not yet engaged in this type of reporting and analysis. Chapter 4 integrates the primary concepts related to building definitions, measurements, and data elements. Chapter 5 contains the materials relevant to room use definitions, including the extensive room use coding structure. Chapter 6 provides a list of commonly asked questions and answers arising from the use of the manual. Nine appendices provide greater detail on the coding structures, discuss optional data elements related to architectural features and room suitability, the use of such data for inter-institutional data exchange and reporting; and provide crosswalks and overviews of coding changes contained in this revised manual. Provided also is a glossary that serves as an index for locating references in the manual that define basic inventory terms and components.

Discussion Paper. AN - 62857508; ED352393 AB - The 1990s show distinct changes from the 1960s in terms of the views held by education practitioners, policymakers, and the public concerning the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Developments such as the national education goals, the prospect of voluntary national education standards, and the possibility of a national system of assessments raise several issues for the NAEP. These issues include: (1) the role and purpose of the NAEP; (2) the alignment with national education standards; (3) assessment frameworks; (4) the role of the NAEP in relation to organizations that may be established to review or certify national standards and a system of assessments; (5) NAEP achievement levels; (6) an international component to the NAEP; (7) the NAEP as an anchor for linking state and local assessment systems with national and international results; (8) removing the prohibition against using NAEP results at the district or school level; and (9) annual assessment and reporting. Policy questions associated with each of these issues are discussed.

Issue Brief. AN - 62849131; ED350377 AB - An analysis was done of federal statistics to explore the relationship between Hispanic Americans' dropout rates and migration. An analysis of November 1989 data revealed that among 16- to 24-year-olds Hispanic American dropout rates are 3 times higher than those for non-Hispanic Americans. In looking at the impact of immigration on Hispanic American dropout rates the analysis found that Hispanic American dropout rates were higher than those for non-Hispanic Americans even when subjects' place of birth was taken into account. About 72 percent of 16- to 24-year-old Hispanic Americans were not born in the United States or were first generation as compared to 9 percent of non-Hispanic Americans. The dropout rate for Mexican Americans is 35.8 percent, for Puerto Ricans is 32.1 percent, and for Cubans is 9.2 percent. Mexican Americans account for 64 percent of the Hispanic American population. Of those Hispanic Americans who are dropouts, 63 percent were not born in the United States, while 3 percent of non-Hispanic American dropouts were not born in the United States. Overall, the analysis suggests that immigration appears to be a contributing factor to the high dropout rate among Hispanic Americans. If this pattern continues with the children of the current generation, then high dropout rates may continue in the future even if immigration rates decline substantially. Included are two figures and one table.

National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988. Statistical Analysis Report. Contractor Report. NCES 92-042 AN - 1826530984; ED566856 AB - The National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) is a large-scale, national longitudinal study designed and sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), with support from other government agencies. Beginning in the spring of 1988 with a cohort of eighth graders (25,000) attending public and private schools across the nation, these same individuals were re-surveyed in 1990. During the base-year, data were also collected from students' parents, teachers, and school principals. Taken together, the base-year and follow-up data of NELS:88 provide a wealth of information about eighth graders (1988 school year) as they move both in and out of the U.S. school system and into the many and varied activities of early adolescence. This study examines the characteristics of eighth-grade students who were at risk of school failure (i.e., low achievement test scores and dropping out of school). Seven sets of variables were examined: (1) basic demographic characteristics; (2) family and personal background characteristics; (3) the amount of parental involvement in the student's education; (4) the student's academic history; (5) student behavioral factors; (6) teacher perceptions of the student; and (7) the characteristics of the student's school. Three measures of school failure were used: (1) scores on achievement tests in mathematics; (2) scores on achievement tests in reading; and (3) dropout status as of spring 1990. About 19 percent of the eighth-grade class of 1988 were performing below the basic proficiency level in mathematics, while about 14 percent were performing below the basic proficiency level in reading. In addition, about 6 percent of the eighth-grade cohort of 1988 were dropouts in the spring of 1990. In this study, many factors were found to predict at-risk status that were independent of the student's sex, race-ethnicity, and socioeconomic background. Controlling for basic demographic characteristics, the following groups of students were found to be more likely to have poor basic skills in the eighth grade and to have dropped out between the 8th and the 10th grades: (1) Students from single-parent families, students who were overage for their peer group, or students who had frequently changed schools; (2) Eighth-grade students whose parents were not actively involved in the student's school, students whose parents never talked to them about school-related matters, or students whose parents held low expectations for their child's future educational attainment; (3) Students who repeated an earlier grade, students who had histories of poor grades in mathematics and English, or students who did little homework; (4) Eighth-graders who often came to school unprepared for classwork, students who frequently cut class, or students who were otherwise frequently tardy or absent from school; (5) Eighth-graders who teachers thought were passive, frequently disruptive, inattentive, or students who teachers thought were underachievers; and (6) Students from urban schools or from schools with large minority populations. These findings should prove to be useful to researchers, educators, and policymakers who are interested in better understanding the many factors that can lead to school failure. The following are appended: (1) Data and Methodology; and (2) Sample Sizes, Percentage Tables, and Standard Error Tables.

The publication contains information on a variety of education statistics, including enrollment, degrees conferred, staff, faculty salaries, revenues, and expenditures. Supplemental information on all public and private colleges provides a reference for evaluating conditions in historically black colleges and universities. Among the findings of the report are the following: (1) overall enrollment in HBCUs rose by 16 percent between 1976 and 1990, of which 10 percent were black students; (2) 27 percent of black bachelor's degree recipients, 15 percent of master's, and 12 percent of doctor's degree recipients received their degrees from HBCUs in 1989-90; (3) the number of bachelor's degrees conferred by HBCUs declined by 16 percent between 1976-77 and 1989-90, master's degrees declined by 34 percent, and doctor's degrees increased by 214 percent; and (4) faculty salaries at HBCUs have generally kept pace with those at other colleges, though salaries at HBCUs remained somewhat lower. Overall, it is reported that enrollment in HBCUs is beginning to rise rapidly, and that the financial and faculty resources at the public HBCUs generally look stronger than at the private HBCUs. Appendices include definitions for terms used in the report, a guide to sources used, and information on methodology. (GLR) AU - Hoffman, Charlene M.

The NCES surveyed a sample of 2,998 of the 6,509 non-collegiate postsecondary schools in the fall of 1990. Nearly 1 million students were enrolled in such institutions in the fall of 1990. Of the total enrollment, over 50 percent were women, and approximately 66 percent attended school full time. For-profit institutions made up 53 percent of the total. Approximately 64 percent of the students were enrolled in less-than-two-year institutions. Approximately 710,000 students completed programs in these institutions between July 1, 1989 and June 30, 1990. The survey methodology is described, and the summary statistics are presented in seven tables. (SLD) AU - Broyles, Susan G.

Early Estimates. AN - 62834471; ED350954 AB - This report provides early estimates of key fall 1991 enrollment statistics as well as academic year 1990-91 completions statistics for all postsecondary institutions in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. The study employed a survey which was part of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). The survey, conducted by telephone, collected key enrollment and completions data from a nationwide sample of 1,195 postsecondary institutions representing the more than 10,000 such schools in operation in 1991. Institutions of higher education comprised about one-third of all postsecondary institutions, but accounted for 93 percent of the total 1991 fall enrollment and conferred 68 percent of all postsecondary awards in 1990-91. Highlights of the summary are the following: (1) an estimated 14.8 million students were enrolled at postsecondary institutions in the United States in fall 1991; (2) overall fall enrollment at postsecondary institutions has remained stable since the previous year while the enrollment of women increased 1.7 percent. Significant gains were made in 2-year institutions particularly in part-time enrollment; and (3) the total number of degrees and other formal awards conferred by postsecondary institutions in 1990-91 showed no significant change over 1989-90.

Statistics are based on data collected through two of the four surveys of the Common Core of Data (CCD) conducted annually by the National Center for Education Statistics, the State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary and Secondary Education and the National Public Education Financial Survey. There were 41.2 million students enrolled in public schools in 1990, an increase of 1.7% over the previous year's total. The number of regular high school graduates for 1989-90 was 2.3 million. Although this represented an absolute decline compared to the preceding year, the proportion of 12th graders who graduated actually increased by 1%. Of the 4.5 million school staff, 2.8 million (62.3%) were teachers or aides, and 201,000 (4.4%) were administrators. The national student-to-teacher ratio for 1990-91 remained the same as in 1989-90, with an average of 17.2 students per teacher. Total reported revenues for public elementary and secondary education were $207.6 billion for fiscal year 1990 compared to $192.0 billion for fiscal year 1989. Current expenditures in fiscal year 1990 were $187.4 billion, averaging $4,960 per pupil in average daily attendance. Fourteen tables present survey data.

The report has three main purposes: (1) to explore procedures for collecting classroom-based writing from students around the country; (2) to develop methods for describing and classifying the variety of writing submitted; and (3) to create general scoring guides that could be applied across papers written in response to a variety of prompts or activities. The report is divided into four chapters. Following an introduction, the first chapter describes the writing received from the students and information from participating teachers about the activities that generated the writing. Chapter 2 explains the procedures used to evaluate the writing students submitted as well as the results of this evaluation. Chapter 3 compares the results of the NAEP 1990 writing assessment with the analysis of participants' school-based writing samples and summarizes the lessons learned from the portfolio study. Chapter 4 contains a set of sample papers, further illustrating how the evaluative guides can be applied and presenting a sense of the range and depth of writing received from participating students. Appendixes contain information on demographic characteristics and on students' performance by process strategies.

Statistics in Brief. AN - 62913129; ED343943 AB - This brief report presents findings regarding two types of transitions experienced by students as they move between the eighth and 10th grades: continuing or dropping out of school and transferring between sectors. While 98% of public school students remained in public schools, over one-third of Catholic school eighth graders and over 25% of National Association of Independent Schools students transferred to public or other private schools. About 6% of all eighth graders were classified as dropouts by spring of their scheduled 10th-grade year. For most students, the move between eighth and 10th grades involves a change of schools and exposure to new educational settings. These transitions may have an impact on student learning and personal development. Consequently, differences in transition patterns and possible outcomes are of major interest. Data were obtained from the base year and first follow-up surveys of the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88), which began in 1988 with a sample of 1,052 schools and 24,599 eighth graders. In the spring of 1990, 17,424 students were studied in the first follow-up to determine their education status and progress, and school, community, and work experiences. Four tables present study data, and five graphs illustrate trends from 1988 to 1990.

Before they were tested, all of the students were trained briefly in how to use the equipment. NAEP collected information about whether students understood how to use a calculator, as well as when to use one. NAEP also questioned and collected information from students, teachers, and administrators about the availability and use of calculators and computers in schools and about school policies related to their use. Presented in this fact sheet are: (1) the rationale for the use of technology in the mathematics classroom; (2) a discussion about the survey results concerning the use of calculators in the mathematics classroom; (3) a discussion about the survey results concerning the use of computers in the classroom; (4) tables of summary statistics about students' understanding of when to use a calculator, students' report on ways they use a calculator, and schools' reports on the availability of computers; and (5) questions to stimulate further discussions among teachers, principals, administrators, parents, and other interested citizens concerning the use of technology in the mathematics classroom.

AN - 62914507; ED343946 AB - This brochure presents essential facts about educational trends in the United States in table or graph form. Trends are detailed in 16 tables and six graphs related to the following: (1) participation in education; (2) number of schools; (3) enrollment; (4) teachers; (5) revenues; (6) expenditures; and (7) educational attainment. Over 25% of the people in the United States are students or are employed by schools or colleges. About 15,400 school districts operated over 83,000 public elementary schools and secondary schools in 1989. There were about 26,800 private elementary schools and secondary schools and about 3,500 colleges and universities. After years of decline, public elementary school and secondary school enrollment began to rise in 1985, as did enrollment in higher education. Mean salaries for the nation's more than 2.7 million elementary school and secondary school teachers have risen steadily, although more slowly than the inflation rate of the late 1970s and more rapidly than the inflation rate of the 1980s. In 1979, the state share of revenues for schools rose above the local share for the first time. The Federal share has remained relatively small. Expenditures for both elementary and secondary education and higher education were rising in 1989. Dropout rates for blacks and all students were declining; and the numbers of associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctor's degrees were increasing. Five sources for the data are listed, including preeminently NCES's "Digest of Education Statistics, 1991."

Special Impact Aid Provisions for Local Education Agencies That Claim Entitlements Based on the Number of Children Residing on Indian Lands, Public Law 81-874. AN - 62837289; ED352248 AB - Created in 1950, the Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to local education agencies (LEAs) in areas affected by federal activity. The program gives a direct general aid payment to LEAs that: (1) have lost local revenue as a result of land purchases by the federal government; (2) provide education to children who reside on federal property or whose parents work on federal property; or (3) have experienced a sudden, substantial increase in enrollment due to federal activities. LEAs may receive an additional entitlement based on the number of children residing on Indian lands. However, such LEAs must involve tribal officials and parents of Indian children residing on Indian lands in the education program. This involvement must include: parental and tribal comment on the extent to which Indian children participate on an equal basis in the education program; dissemination of information to parents and tribal officials on the Impact Aid program and on LEA plans to initiate or eliminate educational programs; and active consultation between the LEA and parents and officials in the planning and development of educational programs funded by Impact Aid. This booklet lists tribal and parent responsibilities to the LEA and minimum regulatory standards for LEA Indian policies and procedures.

The data were collected in two separate, but related surveys. The first was the "Fall Staff" survey (1989), part of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, which collects information on the number of persons employed in postsecondary institutions by primary occupation, by full-time and part-time status, and by sex. The second survey used was the Higher Education Staff Information Survey, administered by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The data are presented in two main tables and show the number employed in all postsecondary institutions, including institutions of higher education, and the number employed in institutions of higher education alone. Some highlights of the findings include the following: (1) postsecondary institutions employed over 2.6 million persons in fall 1989; (2) women accounted for 51.2 percent of persons employed in postsecondary institutions; (3) professional employees represented 63 percent of all staff in postsecondary institutions, with the majority employed full-time and 57 percent of professional staff being male. Included are eight tables, two figures and appendixes containing data on response status and rates.

AN - 62918984; ED343971 AB - This report examines the demographic and language characteristics and educational aspirations of Asian American and Hispanic American eighth graders and relates that information to their mathematical ability and reading comprehension as measured by an achievement test. Special attention is paid to students who come from homes in which a non-English language is spoken. The report uses information selected from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88). The NELS:88 administered questionnaires and tests to a national sample of 25,000 eighth grade students in over 1,000 public and private schools in spring 1988. A second data collection was conducted in spring 1990. Of the 1,505 Asian American students evaluated, 73 percent were reported as language minorities (LMs), while 77 percent of the 3,129 Hispanic American students evaluated were LMs. Of the LM students, 66 percent of the Asian Americans had high English proficiency as compared to 64 percent of the LM Hispanic Americans. Both Asian American and Hispanic American groups had 4 percent of LM students showing low English proficiency. Overall, the study found many similarities between the two groups. However, differences are apparent when data are divided along language proficiency, mathematics achievement, aspiration, and other measures. Statistical data are provided in 33 tables and 44 graphs. Appendices present selected survey questions, technical notes and methodology, and 109 standard error tables.

Statistics in Brief. AN - 62930207; ED341514 AB - The 1991 National Household Education Survey collected information on children's experiences in the home; in home-based child care; in center-based programs, including day care centers and nursery school; and in school. Data were collected by telephone from the parents and guardians of 13,892 children of 3 to 8 years between February and April of 1991. The overall response rate was 76.3 percent. The rationale for the survey was the belief of many experts that children are better prepared for first grade if they have experienced some high quality group care or nursery school. This survey covered the types of child care and early childhood program experiences first and second graders had before they entered first grade. It was found that 28 percent of children enrolled in first or second grade had received nonparental, home-based care by relatives on a regular basis before entering first grade, and 27 percent had received home-based care from nonrelatives. A total of 71 percent of first and second graders had attended center-based programs. Children whose parents had a high school education or less were more likely than other children to enter first grade without a center-based experience. Kindergarten experience was nearly universal. Children whose parents had more than a high school education were less likely to have attended full-day public kindergarten than children whose parents had a high school education or less.

Statistics in Brief. AN - 62929777; ED341513 AB - Information on children's activities in the home with other family members was collected in the 1991 National Household Education Survey. The premise of the survey was that readiness for school may be affected by experiences that children bring with them to the classroom. Data were collected by telephone from the parents and guardians of 13,892 children of 3 to 8 years between February and April of 1991. The overall response rate was 76.3 percent. Topics surveyed included reading, television viewing and related family rules, and the frequency of a variety of activities that take place in the home. Activities were chosen because of their close relationship to a child's preparation for learning in school. It was found that family members read to 35 percent of 3- to 8-year-olds on a daily basis, and only 7 percent of children of this age are never read to or are read to infrequently. Children not enrolled in school watch an average of 3.1 hours of television or videotapes each day. Those in nursery school watch 2.6 hours per day, and those in primary grades watch about 2.2 hours per day. More children have restrictions on the types of television shows they may watch (85 percent) than on the number of hours they may watch on weekdays (60 percent) and on the total number of television viewing hours (56 percent).

Report to Congress. AN - 62833839; ED352431 AB - As required by law, state education agencies receiving funds under the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act submitted reports on the number and location of homeless children and youth in their states to the U.S. Department of Education. These reports also include data on the nature and extent of problems of access to education and student placement in elementary and secondary schools. Sixteen states submitted data from calendar year 1990, 12 states submitted data collected at least partly during 1990, and the balance submitted data in 1991. The major difficulty states faced in attempting to establish yearly counts was the risk of double-counting since children may be housed in more than one shelter in a given year. This report: (1) presents the total numbers of homeless children and youth by state (the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and outlying U.S. territories), and by grade level, type of housing, and school attendance; (2) summarizes the methodologies used to collect the data; and (3) summarizes data on special needs students. Excluding preschool children, states reported 327,416 homeless school-age children and youths (48.6 percent were elementary school students, 21.2 percent were junior high school students, 24.4 percent were high school students, and 5.8 percent were of unspecified grade levels). Four tables contain the data. Attachments include guidelines about the definition of homeless and a discussion of methodology, with questions and answers on counting procedures, and an outline of significant aspects of Title VII-B of the McKinney Act.

AN - 62772850; ED364627 AB - This paper explores the practical implications of the distributional perspective on dropping out of school--a perspective that says that the concentration of student exodus from certain schools may reflect the impact of contextual or organizational factors as opposed to those that operate simply at the individual level. Based on data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988 and two follow-up surveys, it can be said that schools where learning was considered definitely a high priority, where academic achievement was emphasized, and where students were encouraged to enroll in academic classes were clearly related to a lower school dropout rate. Data reveal that the opposite educational environment existed in schools where the dropout rate was high. Thus, the size of a particular school's dropout rate appeared to be indicative of the quality of the school's academic program and operation. Additionally, empirical evidence points to a correlation between high dropout rates and students exposure to demoralized students, teachers with negative attitudes toward students, teachers considering students difficult to motivate, and the overall quality of the school's operating environment and classroom activities. An appendix provides one table and 10 technical notes.

AN - 62771017; ED363442 AB - Using data from the Census Bureau's 1991 Current Population Survey and the National Household Education Survey, this study examined the trends in nursery school enrollment of 3- and 4-year-old children from 1975 to 1990. Factors examined included number of enrollments in nursery schools, race and ethnicity of the students, students' family income, and participation in center-based programs. Based on these data, the paper notes that over the past 15 years, overall nursery school enrollment among 3- and 4-year-olds has increased by 30 percent. Although much of this increase was driven by increases in the enrollment of children from white families and from families with moderate to high income levels, there has been a sharp increase in the enrollment rates of minority children and children from low income families over the preceding 3 years.

Appendix G. AN - 62700055; ED379135 AB - This appendix to the 14th annual report on implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act contains reports on progress in addressing the needs of two special populations: migrant students with disabilities and Native Pacific Basin and Native Hawaiian students with disabilities. Migrant students with disabilities tend to have additional disadvantages that complicate service delivery, including poverty, limited English proficiency, residence in rural areas where services are limited, disruptions to service delivery and needs assessment due to mobility, lack of parental involvement, and shortages of qualified teachers and other personnel. Recommendations for improving service delivery to this population include development of appropriate teacher education programs, expanded data collection, development of assessment instruments for language-minority limited-English-proficient students with disabilities, improving communication between sending and receiving school districts, reassessment of the Migrant Student Record Transfer System, interagency cooperation, and inclusion of bilingual migrant staff members. Native Pacific Basin students with disabilities also have additional disadvantages: geographic isolation, language and cultural differences, very limited financial resources, and shortages of trained educators. Issues related to cultural and linguistic differences are also relevant for Native Hawaiians. Interagency cooperation in the provision of services and innovative approaches to programming have shown some promise in the Pacific region. However, additional data and research are needed. The two reports contain 65 references. Data tables detail numbers and percentages of students receiving special education services, by disability.

Technical Report. AN - 62944728; ED340750 AB - There has been concern in the private school research community that private school diversity is not captured by the three divisions of Catholic, other religious, and non-sectarian. Data from the 1987-88 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) are used in this analysis to operationalize a typology that further subdivides each group into the following three categories: (1) Catholic--parochial, diocesan, and private; (2) other religious--conservative, affiliated, and unaffiliated; and (3) non-sectarian regular, special emphasis, and special education. Data categorized with this nine-group typology were then analyzed in the context of a set of objective measures in an evaluation of the effectiveness of the new typology in discriminating statistically between school types. Multivariate analysis of variance confirmed that the original groups are statistically distinct and that there are differences among them within each of the original groups. Detailed examination of the objective measures contributed to differences observed between groups. The nine groups appear to be conceptually and statistically distinct and useful for future studies of the diversity of the private school population. Seven tables present data from the analyses, and an eight-item list of references is included. Technical notes highlight sample selection, data collection, questionnaire and item response rates, effects of item non-response, standard errors, multivariate analysis of variance, and definitions associated with SASS.

Highlights of the survey include the following data: (1) the reported average salary for private school administrators was $20,206, compared to $41,924 for public school administrators; (2) about one-half of all private school administrators reported having some difficulty in filling teacher vacancies; (3) despite the salary differentials, close to one-third of the private school teachers reported that they would become a teacher again; and (4) teachers in private schools report a stronger sense of a shared school mission. The SASS consists of seven questionnaires, which are described along with other technical considerations in a methods section that follows the tables. The private school sample consisted of 3,513 schools, for which the survey responses of 3,513 principals and 11,529 teachers were analyzed. Sixty-five tables of data are provided.

Early Estimates. AN - 62932457; ED340314 AB - Preliminary statistics are presented for enrollment and degrees awarded for higher education in the United States in the 1990-91 academic year. The data were obtained from 665 institutions of higher education on the Early Estimates Panel, a stratified random sample that is representative of the universe of 3,559 institutions of higher education in the nation. Selected data items from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System "Fall Enrollment" survey, "Completions" survey, and "Finance" survey were requested by telephone between mid-October and mid-November 1991. The data were edited against previous years' survey responses, where available. The overall response rate for the 1991 survey was 98.2 percent. In 1991, total enrollment at institutions of higher education reached a record high of nearly 14.2 million students. Estimates from the survey indicate that fall enrollment increased 3.2 percent over fall 1990, with significant gains in enrollment in two-year institutions; that total awards of associate and higher degrees rose 3.1 percent, with women accounting for most of the increase; and that revenues and expenditures increased 13.6 and 14.4 percent respectively from 1989, a 2-year period. Nine tables present statistics on the following topics: enrollment, degrees conferred, current funds revenues, expenditures and transfers, associate degrees conferred, bachelor's degrees conferred, master's degrees conferred, doctor's degrees conferred, and first-professional degrees conferred.

AN - 62931863; ED341697 AB - This edition, 21st in a series, provides revisions of projections shown in the preceding volume and includes statistics on elementary and secondary schools and institutions of higher learning at the national level. Data include projections for enrollment, graduates, instructional staff, and expenditures to the year 2002. Selected projections are also given for the state level. This edition also includes a section on new developments in projecting education statistics that includes enrollment projections by race and ethnicity. A methodology section describes the ways that projections are made and the models used. Most projections include three or four alternatives based on different assumptions about growth. Public and private school enrollments are projected to increase in the period, passing the 1971 peak, with a reversal in the recent decline in secondary school enrollments. While enrollment in higher education is expected to increase, the rate of growth is expected to slow after 1990. Increases in the numbers of classroom teachers and in expenditures per pupil are also forecasted. State level K-12 public school enrollment and public high school graduates are expected to increase, but these increases will vary across the nation. Five technical appendices contain details about the projection methodology; and present supplementary tables, a table of mean absolute percentage errors, an outline of data sources, and a glossary. The text contains 100 figures and 46 tables, and the appendices contain an additional 34 tables. (SLD) AU - Gerald, Debra E. AU - Hussar, William J.

The Cooperative Education Data Collection and Reporting Standards Project was initiated and a task force was formed to plan, produce, review, and disseminate the standards, which are concerned with processes, rather than results. This document was developed to help improve the usefulness and timeliness of education data, but it does not describe the types of data that should be collected. Standards for Education Data Collection and Reporting (SEDCAR) are developed and organized into the following phases of management of data collection and reporting, design, data collection, data preparation and processing, data analysis, and reporting and dissemination of data. Each standard has at least four components: (1) identification of the phase the standard falls under; (2) the subject (topic) of the standard; (3) a statement of purpose; and (4) guidelines to best practice. Some of the SEDCARs contain related standards information and checklists of procedural steps. Thirty-eight SEDCARs are outlined. Two appendices provide information about related standards, and an index and glossary are included. A 14-item list of references is included.

AN - 62555075; ED403369 AB - The National Education Statistical Agenda Committee of the National Forum on Education Statistics established a Task Force in 1995 to study how a state or local education agency might best collect and report data on the incidence of crime, violence, and disciplinary behavior. The Task Force, which consisted of a core group of data providers from six state and local education agencies, received input from Federal and State agencies. This paper is presented as a model for the voluntary use of agencies interested in developing or improving their system for collecting data on crime, violence, and discipline. Two types of records are recommended for the system to function. One is an incident record and the other, a participant record. Critical to the linking of incident records with participant records is a single unique incident identifier. Key concepts about incidents, such as the type, location, contextual factors, and the presence of alcohol or drugs, are listed. Definitions are provided for categories that include school environment, referral action, and incident type codes.

Report of the Special Study Panel on Education Indicators to the Acting Commissioner of Education Statistics. AN - 63014505; ED334279 AB - The final report of the congressionally-mandated Special Study Panel on Education Indicators (SSPEI) that was transmitted to Congress as required by the Hawkins-Stafford Education Amendments of 1988 is presented. This report is divided into two sections. Part I--"Education Counts"--presents the SSPEI's overall conception of how an indicator information system should be developed; provides recommendations for improvements in Federal data collection and reporting in six major issue areas; and includes information of direct interest to general readers, educators, policymakers, and business leaders. Part II--"An Indicator System To Monitor the Nation's Educational Health"--presents more detailed information about the six issues. It is designed to provide analysts and researchers with more substantive guidance on the six issues, identify existing data sources, and cite gaps in currently available data. The six issues relate to the six national education goals proposed by the President and governors in 1989 concerning: readiness for school; high school completion; student achievement and citizenship; science and mathematics; adult literacy and lifelong learning; and safe, disciplined, and drug-free schools. It is concluded that: a comprehensive data, information, and research system is needed to guide education policymakers' decisions; statistical indicators are powerful tools for identifying problems and galvanizing public support to address them, but a limited set of indicators can be misleading; and the information system for developing education indicators should be organized around learner outcomes, quality of educational institutions, readiness for school, societal support for learning, education and economic productivity, and equity among other factors.

AN - 62932283; ED338689 AB - As part of the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88), this study examined the schools attended by eighth-graders in 1988, the year during which the more than 25,000 eighth-graders of the cohort were first studied. NELS:88 provides information on 802 public schools, 105 Catholic schools, 68 other religious schools, and 60 private, non-religious schools. Throughout the report, the unit of analysis is the school rather than students or teachers. Most of the school data were provided by school administrators. The data are used to develop a profile of the schools attended by eighth-graders, with information about various aspects of the learning environment, school policies and programs, and administrators' assessments of school climate. In 1988, 87.9% of eighth-graders attended public schools, 7.6% attended Catholic schools, 2.9% attended other religious schools, and 1.5% attended private non-religious schools. The study shows that eighth-graders learned under a wide range of different conditions in both public and private schools. Fifty-six data tables and five graphs are included. Appendices contain technical notes, information about the accuracy of estimates and procedures, standard errors and unweighted "N"s, and 56 additional tables. (SLD) AU - Hoachlander, Gareth E.

The National Household Education Survey data showed that 38 percent of adults age 17 or older participated in some educational activity in 1990-91. Those more likely to participate in adult education are in the following groups: (1) people in professional, technical, support, service, finance, insurance, or real estate occupations, elementary and secondary teachers, and public administrators; (2) people with some college; (3) people in households with incomes above $30,000; (4) whites; (5) adults between 35 and 44; (6) married or single (never married) adults; and (7) adults with children under 16 compared to those with no children. Adults with a 12th-grade education or less, who were not employed, or whose households were at the lowest income levels seemed less likely to participate in some part-time educational activity.

AN - 62929650; ED338770 AB - This report presents national data for 1990 on high school dropout and retention rates. The report uses the Current Population Survey and the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988. The three types of dropout rates discussed are: (1) event rates, (2) status rates, and (3) cohort rates. The report also examines high school completion and graduation rates. Data indicate that national dropout rates have declined over the last decade. The event dropout rate for persons 15 through 24 years old in grades 10 through 12 was 6.2 percent in 1980 and 4.1 percent in 1990. The status dropout rate for persons 16 through 24 was 14.1 percent in 1973 and 12.1 percent in 1990. In addition, recently collected longitudinal data reveal that about 7 percent of the eighth graders enrolled in the spring of 1988 dropped out before the end of their sophomore year in high school. The following results are highlighted: (1) male and female rates are comparable; (2) central city rates are higher than suburban rates; (3) rates for Hispanic Americans are higher than rates for Whites; and (4) status and cohort rates in the South are higher than those in the Northeast and Midwest and are higher for Blacks than for Whites. New data collection efforts by the National Center for Education Statistics that have a bearing on issues of high school dropouts and graduates are briefly discussed in the concluding section. The report includes 15 tables and 11 graphs. Appendix A contains time series and standard error tables, and Appendix B provides technical notes.

E.D. TABS. AN - 62825096; ED359252 AB - Teacher supply and demand are critical policy areas for planning, program funding, and teacher training. Shortages of minority teachers are especially acute, as are shortages in special education. To inform policy decisions at all levels of government, the National Center for Education Statistics collected data during school year 1987-88 through its Schools and Staffing Survey, Teacher Demand and Shortage Survey for Public Schools. Results of that survey are presented and discussed. Of the 2.5 million teachers teaching the nation's approximately 40.3 million public school students, about 86 percent were white. The average student to teacher ratio was 16:1. The highest student to teacher ratios within the same racial/ethnic group occurred among Asian Americans and Hispanics. The largest percentage of minority students attend school in the South, and, by size of school district, minority students are overrepresented in large school districts. Minority teachers are underrepresented in the Northeast and North Central regions, but overrepresented in the South and in large school districts. A total of 1,970 public school districts offered pay incentives to recruit or retain teachers in shortage fields, and free retraining to teach in shortage fields was offered by 5,084 public school districts. Technical notes about the survey methodology are presented in a separate section. Eight tables present survey findings, and the 29-item survey questionnaire is included as an appendix.

E.D. TABS. AN - 62766010; ED363025 AB - This report on regular and special education teachers in public schools presents data on personal characteristics (gender, age, race/ethnicity, and marital status); professional characteristics (educational background, years of experience, certification); geographic region; income (salary and incentives, nonschool employment); and opinions about teaching. Data were collected from a variety of questionnaires and are for the school year 1987-88. Extensive tables provide national estimates for all data and State estimates for regular and special school teachers' highest degree earned, years of experience, and salary. Statistical highlights, with a focus on implications for special education, are presented in brief prior to the presentation of study data. Overall, the following significant differences occurred between regular and special educators: Special educators were more likely to be single; female; younger; teaching elementary students; to have less full-time teaching experience; to lack full certification; to hold an education specialist credential, a master's, or a second master's as their highest earned degree; and to make about $1,000 less in average total income. The school and staffing survey questionnaire is attached. (PB) AU - Ancarrow, Janice S.

AN - 62904571; ED336386 AB - This study of career patterns in teaching was conducted to provide insight into the development of careers within the teaching profession. The objectives of the study were: to describe the career patterns of a national sample of individuals from the high school class of 1971 (1,011 individuals surveyed during the period 1972-86) who were either trained for or entered the teaching profession; to describe teachers as to their self-reported background and education characteristics, teaching qualifications, teaching experiences, attitudes toward teaching, satisfaction with pay and with the profession; and to identify variables which predicted retention in the teaching field to 1986. Results suggest that the best predictors of teacher retention were human capital variables including the number of years in teaching, satisfaction with the job, teaching in a public school, number of continuing education activities, and number of education credits. Recommendations to policymakers include recognizing the importance of: (1) making teaching more professional thereby enabling individuals to have a larger investment in their careers; (2) wages and other economic incentives; (3) investing in teaching careers for women; and (4) offering flexibility for women who wish to get married or have children.

The indicators have been derived from studies conducted by the Center for Education Statistics and from other surveys conducted both within and outside the Federal Government. Indicators have been grouped under the headings of student progression and outcomes; context; and resources. Outcome indicators describe student access and participation; persistence; educational attainment and curriculum; continuation to advanced levels; and economic outcomes. Context indicators provide measures of the changing characteristics of higher education, both in terms of its institutions and its students (race/ethnicity and age). Resource indicators focus on fiscal resources (institutional revenues, expenditures per student, and financial aid) and human resources (faculty salaries and teaching workloads). Also included are measures of two outputs of postsecondary education: degrees and research. For postsecondary education, new indicators include the following: (1) net cost of college attendance; (2) timing of entry to college; (3) baccalaureate field of study, by sex; (4) starting salaries of college graduates; and (5) time allocation and workload of full-time faculty. Among the key issues discussed in the overview are minorities and women in higher education, and access, persistence, and completion rates.

The report includes data on characteristics of teachers who left the teaching profession between school years 1987-88 and 1988-89 (leavers), teachers who changed schools during that period (movers), and teachers who stayed in the same school (stayers). The tables include estimates of teacher attrition by field of assignment, reasons for leaving the teaching profession, and comparisons of former teachers' current occupations with the teaching profession. National estimates are provided for all data. The TFS was a mail survey, which included one questionnaire each for current teachers and former teachers. The attrition rate from the teaching profession between 1987-88 and 1988-89 was 5.6% in PUBSs and 12.7% in PVTSs. The rate at which PUBS teachers of general education left the profession varied little by field. Teacher attrition varied by teacher's age. The attrition rates for PUBS teachers in 3 age groups were: 9% for those younger than 30 years old, 2.3% for those between 40 and 49 years old, and 9.8% for those 50 years old and over. Almost all PUBS movers (92.6%) transferred to other PUBSs, while only half of the PVTS movers (48%) transferred to other PVTSs. About 18% of PUBS leavers and 12% of PVTS leavers expect to return to elementary school or secondary school teaching in the 1989-90 school year. Technical notes are provided. The two TFS questionnaires are appended. (RLC) AU - Bobbitt, Sharon A.

Survey Report. AN - 63001613; ED335416 AB - Consisting largely of 17 tables and 46 graphs, this document reports regional and subregional division characteristics of public elementary and secondary education (PESE) in 1988-89 in the United States; it also reports characteristics associated with the urbanicity, or most prevalent type of locale (TOL), and the relative wealth (RW) of states. The major data source was the National Center for Education Statistics annual Common Core of Data survey for the 1988-89 school year and the 1988 fiscal year. Data are presented in four sections: state background information (population totals, total schoolage population, and state capacity to support public education); institutional characteristics (numbers, types, and sizes of school districts and schools); education staff and students (numbers of students and teachers, administrators, and other education staff and ratios of selected staff to students); and revenues and current expenditures for PESE. The tables provide state data for nine geographic divisions and four regions. The graphs, which are keyed to specific tables, illustrate regional and divisional differences, and summarize the more comprehensive data in the tables. Data sources, comments, footnotes, and definitions accompany the tables. Among the report's highlights are the following: PESE membership remained at about 40 million students from 1987-88 to 1988-89. Small schools (99 students or fewer) were most common in the West North Central states, where they represented 26% of the schools. States reported a total of 2.3 million teachers, a figure approximately 2% higher than the preceding year. The average student to teacher ratio dropped from 17.6 in 1987-88 to 17.4 in 1988-89. Public education in low RW states derived 61% of its revenue from states sources and 30% of its revenue from local sources. For fiscal year 1988, average public education expenditures ranged from $4,952 to $2,819 per student. A definition of TOL and two tables containing TOL and RW data are appended.

The levels for 1990 mark the first time the NAEP has set benchmarks for determining how well students performed, rather than simply reporting how they performed. Three achievement levels, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced, are defined for each of the three grades tested. These levels are defined, and nine sample test items are provided. The Proficient level corresponds with the national goal for student achievement. These levels were defined over an 18-month period with the assistance of approximately 700 judges. The results of the 1990 mathematics tests will be used to assess the utility of achievement levels for mathematics, reading, and writing for the 1992 assessments.

AN - 63007186; ED335386 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is briefly described. The NAEP was designed in 1969 as a voluntary cooperative program to answer questions about education nationally. In 1988, the NAEP was defined as a means of improving the effectiveness of the nation's schools by making objective information available about student performance. The NAEP, commonly known as the Nation's Report Card, is an ongoing, comparable, and representative assessment of what American students know and can do at grades 4, 8, and 12. It serves to monitor progress toward the National Education Goals adopted by the President and state governors in 1990. A new dimension has been added to the NAEP with the Trial State Assessment in 1990, a voluntary assessment of eighth-grade mathematics achievement that states can use to compare themselves over time. The America 2000 strategy of the Bush administration will depend on NAEP tests for its formative stages. The NAEP does not promote or drive a national curriculum, but it does describe achievement for those whose job it is to prescribe educational policy.

The SASS was designed to measure the critical aspects of teacher supply and demand, the composition of teacher and administrator work force, and the general status of teaching and schooling. The SASS was conducted by the Bureau of the Census in the 1987-88 school year. The SASS sample included 12,823 public and private schools and administrators, 65,124 teachers, and 5,592 Local Education Agencies (LEAs). The merger of the three surveys produced one database to provide comparable linkage data among LEAs, schools, and teachers. Response rates ranged from 66% for private school teachers to 94.4% for public school administrators. Sample selection is discussed for public and private sectors. The discussion of estimation considers: weighting; item response rates and imputation; variance estimation; and frame evaluation. Data are reported in 18 tables. Three appendices discuss: minimizing school overlap with other national and longitudinal surveys; allocating sample groups to minimize loss of prediction for specific estimators; and the effect of a finite population correction on SASS variance estimates.

Statistics were obtained from the base-year student survey of the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88). The NELS:88 monitors the transition of a national sample of young adults as they progress from junior high to senior high school and on to postsecondary education and/or work. Its purpose is to provide policy-relevant data concerning the effectiveness of schools, curriculum paths, special programs, variations in curriculum content, and/or mode of delivery in bringing about educational growth. The NELS:88 test battery includes four tests: (1) reading comprehension; (2) mathematics; (3) science; and (4) history/citizenship/government. This report is a tabular summary of achievement test scores for approximately 25,000 eighth graders from slightly more than 1,000 schools. Results are grouped into: student background variables; parental involvement variables; and school characteristics and school climate. Reading and mathematics tables contain, in addition to mean scores, the percentage of each group scoring at each proficiency level and the standard error of the percentage estimate. Effect sizes are included to compare group differences. Technical notes on survey design, response rates, variables in the tables, significance testing, and methods for estimating standard errors and effect sizes follow the tables.

The data were reported to the National Center for Education Statistics in the spring of 1989 through the Common Core of Data survey series, and files used for this report contain data for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 5 outlying areas. While they represent fewer than 1% of the nation's school districts, the 100 school districts are responsible for educating 8,788,448 students (approximately 22% of all public school students) and 40% of all minority students. Most of the 100 largest districts are located in coastal states. There is a tendency for these school districts to have larger schools and slightly higher pupil-to-teacher ratios than other districts. These 100 districts also employ about 21% of the nation's public school teachers. Two figures summarize overall data. An appendix lists the 500 largest districts in the United States in 1988-89.

Five research questions were addressed: (1) whether or not ADA is defined by state law; (2) the number of days in the school year used in the ADA calculation; (3) how attendance is counted and how state aggregate data are calculated; (4) whether or not other variations in state ADA affect comparability; and (5) how summer school figures are handled. Data for the study were derived from state-provided documentation. Seven states reported legislation prescribing data collection methods for the 1985-86 school year. A variety of prescribed school days (ranging from 170 to 180) were identified. Five distinct patterns for state data collection and aggregation ADAs were apparent. Other variations in procedures did affect comparability. However, it was not possible to estimate the effects of summer school attendance reporting, with only 13 states reporting summer school data. Four tables contain study data. (SLD) AU - Morgan, Robert L.

The data were obtained from the Schools and Staffing Study of 1988, from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The Teacher Questionnaire of the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) questioned 52,000 teachers and their principals in 9,300 public schools in the 1987-88 school year. Using only public school responses by teachers that could be linked to a particular principal reduced the sample size to 39,014 teachers. Each teacher's responses on a Likert-like scale of 18 items were summed to create a scale assessing perceived principal effectiveness (PPE). The PPE composite scale yielded a Cronbach's Alpha of .9024, demonstrating a strong internal reliability coefficient. Findings indicated that principals with only a B.A. degree who were young, less experienced, lower salaried, female, and held elementary principalships in smaller communities were perceived by teachers to be more effective. Cautions about these findings are made until the PPE scale can receive an external validation. A second study of principals' perception of their time usage and its relationship to teachers' perceptions of effectiveness did not reveal any relationship between time usage and principal effectiveness. The appendix includes: Schools and Staffing Survey--School Administrator Questionnaire, 1987-88 and Schools and Staffing Survey--Public Teachers Questionnaire, 1987-88.

This report discusses the NCES' mission statement in these terms and describes its broad-based data gathering program, which maintains seven cross-sectional databases and three major longitudinal studies databases. Results and highlights from the surveys of academic, public, and school libraries/media centers are then provided. Ways in which NCES disseminates data to three types of data users are also described: (1) information is provided in reports, conference presentations, seminars, electronic bulletin boards (BBSs) and briefings for "passive public users," who need statistical information that describes education, shows trends or progress, and helps people understand trends in the condition of education; (2) information on the availability of raw data for manipulation is provided via catalogs, announcements, data tapes, computer disks, and BBSs for "micro-data users," who need information to analyze relationships, identify questions for future study, and/or validate preliminary research findings; and (3) information is often prepared by NCES to provide details not included in current publications for "active public users," who need statistical information to answer questions that require currently available data. Concluding the report is a list of addresses and telephone numbers of places where NCES products are available together with the titles and series numbers of recently released data tapes.

Exemplary Projects. AN - 61804812; ED335536 AB - As a result of a review of performance reports submitted by almost 400 colleges and universities receiving Veterans Education Outreach Program (VEOP) grants, 37 exemplary programs were identified by a panel of 5 professionals in veterans' education and government administration. The exemplary programs selected showed consistency in staff efforts to improve the services of the VEOP program. Most institutions supplemented federal support to a great extent in all aspects of the program, and there appeared to be genuine interest, both by faculty and administration, in meeting the needs of disadvantaged veterans. The panel also found deficiencies in reporting by many other programs, including failure to reflect improvements made in the programs over the years. Recommendations were made to improve programs and performance reports by: (1) stressing qualitative and quantitative information; (2) maximizing institutional involvement and commitment to veterans' services and funding; (3) locating the office of veterans' affairs in a place accessible to other services; (4) determining the effectiveness of recruitment and outreach activities and providing quantitative data to support the findings; (5) providing information on services to special populations; (6) furnishing services to veterans above the usual services to all students; and (7) and giving an indication of total percentage of veterans served on a personal basis. (Appendixes, which constitute most of the document, list and profile exemplary programs and summarize the components and strengths of exemplary programs.) (KC) AU - Amon, Ronald D.

AN - 62826454; ED352207 AB - This report summarizes a meeting of local school officials and Head Start directors from across the country to discuss ways to improve children's experience of transition from Head Start to public school. In a keynote address, Sharon Kagan discussed the importance of transitions, the lessons history has taught educators about transitions, and actions educators should take concerning transitions. Four panelists in a panel discussion described the transition components in the early childhood programs they manage, and two educational professionals commented on the panelists' presentations. Meeting participants formed four working groups, each of which discussed: (1) operational, philosophical, and pedagogical barriers at the local level to effective transitions between Head Start programs and public schools; (2) state and local actions that might overcome these barriers, including collaboration between Head Start and public schools, transition initiatives to help families adjust to public schools, parent involvement programs, and improved school curricula; and (3) recommendations to the United States Departments of Education and of Health and Human Services for improving children's transition experiences, including recommendations relating to effective leadership, resources, research, and regulations.

Early Estimates. Survey Report. AN - 62999414; ED328615 AB - Preliminary statistics on enrollment and degrees awarded for higher education in the United States are summarized. The data are based on responses from 639 institutions of higher education on the Early Estimates Panel, a stratified random sample that is representative of the universe of 3,598 institutions of higher education in the nation in the 1989-90 academic year. Selected data items from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System "Fall Enrollment" survey and "Completions" survey were requested via telephone from the Early Estimates Representative of each institution in the sample between mid-October and mid-November 1990. The data were edited in light of previous years' survey responses, where available. The overall response rate for the 1990 "Early Estimates" survey was 99%. In 1990, fall enrollment in colleges and universities increased 3.4% over that for 1989. Total awards of associate and higher degrees rose about 2.7% in the 1989-90 academic year. Women accounted for almost all of the increase nationally. The nine tables presented show the following statistics, mostly by sex: (1) enrollment by attendance status, attendance level of student, and level and control of institution, for the fall of 1989 and 1990; (2) degrees conferred by control of institution and/or level of degree from 1969-70 to 1989-90; and (3) college-age population by age group from 1970 to 1990.

Survey Report. AN - 62997935; ED328592 AB - Regional and subregional division characteristics of public elementary and secondary education in the United States are reported. Characteristics associated with urbanicity and wealth are also reported. Factors examined are those most commonly used to identify the resources, needs, organization, and special characteristics of education within each state. The factors are displayed in numeric and graphic form to make them useful for a wide range of audiences and purposes. Data were derived from a variety of sources. A major data source was the annual Common Core of Data survey of the National Center for Education Statistics. Data are presented in 46 graphs and 17 tables in four sections: (1) state background information (population totals, total school-age (5-17 years old) population, and state capacity to support public education); (2) institutional characteristics (numbers, types, and sizes of school districts and schools); (3) education staff and students (counts of students and teachers, administrators, and other education staff and ratios of selected staff to students); and (4) revenues and current expenditures for public elementary and secondary education. Selected highlights include the following: Idaho, Maine, and Nevada have the highest percentage (95.5%) of 5-year-old through 17-year-old students attending public schools; the largest school districts are located within the South Atlantic division, the city-urban fringe locale, and the moderately high relative wealth clusters; Delaware has the highest percentage (10.2%) of special education schools, and North Dakota has the second highest percentage (5.2%); student/teacher ratio tends to vary by geographic region more than by urbanicity or relative wealth; and Tennessee spends the largest percentage (69.9%) of total current expenditures on instruction. Descriptions of type of locale and a table comparing the relative wealth of each state are appended.

AN - 62997636; ED327581 AB - Statistical projections for elementary and secondary schools and institutions of higher education are provided at the national and state levels through the year 2001. National projection tables cover enrollment, high school graduates, earned degrees conferred, classroom teachers, and expenditures of public elementary and secondary schools. State-level projections cover public elementary and secondary school enrollment, and public high school graduates. Data are generally shown by calendar or school year for various years from 1976 through 2001. The report also contains a methodology section describing models and assumptions used to develop the national-level and state-level projections. Projections are based on an age-specific enrollment rate model, exponential smoothing models, and econometric models. The enrollment model uses population estimates and projections from the Bureau of the Census. The exponential smoothing models are based on the mathematical projection of past data patterns into the future. The econometric models use projections of exogenous variables from the Macroeconomic Model of the U.S. Economy, developed by Data Resources, Inc. Most of the projections have three or four alternative sets of assumptions regarding various growth paths. Although the first set of projections is deemed to represent the most likely projections, the other alternatives provide a reasonable range of outcomes. In all, 110 data tables are provided.

Early Estimates. Survey Report. AN - 62996016; ED328617 AB - Estimated statistics on enrollment, high school graduates, teaching staff, and finances are summarized for public and private elementary schools and secondary schools in the United States. Data are shown for the 1990-91 school year, with annual trend data covering various years from 1986 through 1990. The data are generated by the Early Estimates System of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The source of statistical information about public schools is the Common Core of Data collected annually from state education agencies. These data are collected in March, undergo NCES and state editing, and are available for publication in September. The source of statistical information about private schools is the Private School Survey. Data are presented in 13 tables showing enrollment, numbers of teachers, student/teacher ratios, high school graduates, and revenues and expenditures, by school level, religious orientation, and/or state. Over 41 million students attended public schools and 5.2 million students attended private schools in the 1990-91 school year. Private school membership in grades K-12 has remained fairly constant in recent years. The following statistics are noted for the 1990-91 school year: since 1987, student enrollment in public education increased by over 1 million; there were an estimated 2.7 million teachers in public and private schools; student-to-teacher ratios for kindergarten through grade 12 were 17.2/1 for public and 14.7/1 for private schools; and, an estimated 2.5 million students expected to graduate from high school. Technical notes, including a table showing selected standard errors for private school early estimates, are included. (TJH) AU - Bobbitt, Sharon A. AU - Johnson, Frank H.

AN - 62997176; ED325561 AB - This is the second annual report to Congress required by the Hawkins-Stafford Elementary and Secondary School Improvement Amendments of 1988 (P.L. 100-297). It presents data on high school dropout and retention rates for 1989 and time series data since 1968. It also examines high school completion and graduation rates. Two kinds of dropout rates are reported: (1) the event dropout rate; and (2) the status dropout rate. The event dropout rate represents the proportion of students who leave school during a single year. In the past 3 years the rate has been 4.5 percent for students in grades 10-12, which represents about 429,000 per year. The status dropout rate represents the proportion of individuals who are not enrolled in school and have not completed high school. In October 1989, 12.6 percent of 16- to 24-year-olds were status dropouts, representing about 4 million. A third kind of dropout rate--the cohort rate--was not covered because no new data have become available since the last report. Nationally, the status dropout rate has been declining since the late 1960s and the event dropout rate since the late 1970s. The status dropout rate for Blacks has declined by almost half over the last two decades and is now only 1.4 percentage points above the White rate. Hispanic dropout rates show no consistent trend since 1972 and remain high. High school graduation/completion rates ranged from 68 to 86 percent in 1989, depending on the age range of the group surveyed and whether an equivalency certificate is counted. Several possibilities for improving the accuracy and extending the relevance of the data are discussed. Data are presented in 12 tables and 9 graphs. Time series and standard error tables and technical notes are included in two appendixes. (MYM) AU - Kaufman, Phillip AU - Frase, Mary J.

First, aid awards are examined by the source of aid; second, by the type of aid; and third, by a combination of sources and types. Among the findings were the following: (1) of all the financial aid supplied to undergraduates, the Federal Government supplied 62%; (2) postsecondary institutions were the second largest suppliers of student financial aid, supplying 21%; (3) among aided undergraduates, a larger proportion of borrowers was found among those in higher than in lower income brackets; (4) 36% of aided undergraduates received Pell grants in their aid awards, with 5% receiving Pell grants alone; (5) 42% of aided undergraduates received Guaranteed Student Loans, with 11% receiving these loans alone; and (6) students who attended private, for-profit institutions were more likely to be aided than those who attended a private, not-for-profit institutions, who, in turn were more likely to be aided than those who attended public institutions. The report contains 54 tables, 3 figures, 12 references, and a glossary. Four appendixes include detailed tables, technical notes, components of the grants only award and all aid awards by source and type of aid.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) assessed the mathematics achievement in seven content areas, five of which were administered at all three grade levels included in the assessment. This report focuses on the five content areas common to all grade levels and attempts to answer three questions: (1) Are there differences in mathematics achievement on any of the common content area subscales across levels of exposure to traditional instructional activities? (2) Are there differences in mathematics achievement on any of the common content area subscales across levels of computer use? and (3) Are there differences in mathematics achievement of any of the common content area subscales across levels of mathematics course taking? In addition to addressing the three major questions, the report presents comparisons between racial-ethnic group, gender, and type of school attended in an attempt to determine whether the differences in mathematics achievement typically found on these variables change when the levels of instructional activity, computer use, and mathematics course taking are held constant. The analyses in this study used achievement and background data from version 2.0 of the Public Use Data Tape for the 1985-1986 NAEP. This report includes the methodology and analysis, results, and conclusions. Several insights into potential relationships between mathematics-related instructional activities and student achievement are highlighted including the following: (1) daily exposure to some traditional instructional activity does appear to be associated with higher levels of mathematics achievement in specific content areas; (2) when the number of math courses an examinee reported having taken was held constant, non-Hispanic Whites still tended to have significantly higher achievement scores than Blacks and Hispanics; and (3) no gender difference in achievement was found at the third-grade level. Technical notes, detailed methodology, and the NAEP data in tabular form are appended.

Analyses of these data indicate that the three largest individual expenditure items for libraries at the 3,438 institutions of higher education were salaries and wages, current serial subscription expenditures, and print material expenditures. It was also found that libraries of the 466 doctoral-granting institutions (13.6% of the total) accounted for more than half of the 101,000 operating expenditures of almost $2.8 billion, half of the 101,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff, and more than half of the total of 200 million circulation transactions at all academic libraries. The number of volumes held at all academic libraries at the end of fiscal year 1988 totaled almost 720 million. The narrative portion of this report includes highlights of the findings, a brief introduction, technical notes, and definitions. Detailed data are presented in tables for library operating expenditures, FTE library staff, library collections, library loan transactions, and library service per typical week. A copy of the questionnaire and instructions for its use are included.

AN - 62999348; ED323634 AB - The Federal Government provides substantial funding for education well beyond programs operated by the Department of Education (ED). Total federal support for education in fiscal year 1989 is estimated at $57.9 billion, an increase of $18.8 billion, or 48 percent, since 1980. After adjustment for inflation, federal education funds decreased 0.7 percent between FY 80 and FY 89. Of the estimated $330.5 billion spent on education in FY 89, federal funding amounted to $35.1 billion (11 percent) and funding from other sources amounted to $295.4 billion. For FY 89, estimated on-budget federal funds for education program support were $46.7 billion, an increase of 36 percent for current dollars, but a decrease of 9 percent since 1980 after adjusting for inflation. Funds for off-budget support (mostly postsecondary education loans) were estimated at $11.2 billion, a rise of 56 percent between FY 80 and FY 89 in constant dollars, and 133 percent in current dollars. Between FY 80 and FY 89, after adjusting for inflation, Federal program funds for education for elementary and secondary education declined 17 percent; postsecondary funds declined 27 percent; other education funds increased 38 percent; and funds for academic research at higher education institutions increased 36 percent. Federal funding for education rose dramatically between FY 65 and FY 75, reflecting sharp increases in programs at all education levels. In FY 89, ED outlays totalled $20.6 billion, an increase of 5 percent from FY 80. The estimated federal share of education institution expenditures declined from 14 percent in FY 80 to 11 percent in FY 89. About 61 percent of total federal education support went to education institutions in FY 89. Nine tables and two charts are included and six tables are appended. (MLH) AU - Hoffman, Charlene M.

AN - 63087205; ED322220 AB - A new method for estimating the parameters of the normal ogive three-parameter model for multiple-choice test items--the normalized direct (NDIR) procedure--is examined. The procedure is compared to a more commonly used estimation procedure, Lord's LOGIST, using computer simulations. The NDIR procedure uses the normalized (mid-percentile) "z" score as the ability score as opposed to the conventional raw score (linear "z" score), maximum likelihood, or Bayesian modal ability score. Thus, it is not necessary to use an iterative procedure for estimating the person parameter (ability); corrections for scale errors can be made before the item function fitting is complete. The item function fitting is accomplished using a minimum chi square procedure. Input to the chi square procedure includes biserial correlations corrected for guessing and attenuation. The attenuation correction uses a reliability index based on the item set information index. Normalized "z" scores corrected for attenuation using the KR20 index are also inputted to the chi square procedure. The normalized direct procedure was more accurate and required considerably less computer processing time than did LOGIST. One figure and six data tables are included.

National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988. E.D. TABS. AN - 63004913; ED329557 AB - This set of tables examines self-reports of coursework taken by a national probability sample of eighth graders in public and private schools in the United States. Statistics were obtained from the base-year student survey of the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88). NELS:88 figures on eighth graders provide a baseline for assessing progress in high school. Estimates in the tables are based on a sample of 24,599 students in 1,052 schools across the nation. The estimates project to about 3,008,080 eighth graders in about 38,774 eligible public, private, and Catholic schools during the 1988 school year. Exclusions to the sample are discussed in the technical notes following 45 pages of tables. Three basic sets of tables on self-reported course-taking are provided in the areas of: (1) mathematics, science, and computer education (Tables 1.1 to 1.5); (2) English, foreign language, history, social studies, and religion (Tables 2.1 to 2.5); and (3) arts, vocational education, and personal development (Tables 3.1 to 3.5). Within each set of tables, the first table shows course-taking across all schools. Subsequent tables show course-taking for public, Catholic, independent private, and other private schools. In addition to information about the sample, the technical notes contain information about survey design, response rates, variables used in the tables, and methods for estimating standard errors. An appendix contains unweighted sample sizes for levels of classification variables. (SLD) AU - Rasinski, Kenneth A.

AN - 62997027; ED324368 AB - This report on the supply of newly qualified teachers (NQTs) is based primarily on data from the Recent College Graduate Study of 1987. The survey, which was originally designed to provide information on NQTs alone, was expanded to cover graduates in all major fields of study; however, it continues to emphasize graduates qualified to teach at the elementary school or secondary school level. For the 1987 study, newly qualified teachers were defined as: individuals who received a bachelor's or master's degree between July 1, 1985 and June 30, 1986; who became eligible or certified to teach during that same period; and who had not been employed as teachers before receiving their degree. The number of NQTs who graduated from the nation's colleges and universities increased from 105,000 in 1984 to 126,000 in 1986 after declining for almost 10 years. The number of NQTs at the master's level increased by 124%, from 6,300 in 1984 to 14,100 in 1986. Nearly 73% of the NQTs at the bachelor's level in 1986 were women. An average of 48% of all other bachelor's degree recipients were women. Forty-eight percent of NQTs reported grade point averages of 3.25 or higher, compared to 42% of other bachelor's degree recipients. Fifty-seven percent of the NQTs in 1986 majored in education, a large drop from 1984 when 71% majored in education. Eighty-nine percent of the NQTs were employed 1 year after graduating from college. Only 3% were unemployed, and 8% were not working and not seeking employment. Only 61% of the NQTs in 1986 were teaching in April 1987. Seventy-four percent of the NQTs were certified in the field they were teaching. The average annual salary for NQTs who were employed full time was $16,000 in 1987, compared to an average of $20,700 for other bachelor's degree graduates. Ten tables and 3 graphs present study data. Appendix A contains technical notes for the survey, Appendices B and C provide, respectively, nine tables containing standard errors for data categories and two additional tables on teacher characteristics, and Appendix D presents the 1987 survey instrument.

The 1985-86 National Survey of Private Schools obtained responses from 5,295 teachers and 1,175 administrators in 1,387 private schoosl, with an 85 percent school response rate and a 76 percent teacher response rate. Data were collected on school characteristics, such as teacher/student ratio, school size, minority enrollment percentage, and percentage of high school graduate college applicants. Other variables included public school district size, census region, and enrollment in various courses of study. A comparison of public and private schools examined the relationships between school characteristics and the percentage of schools offering advanced placement programs, the average number of subject areas covered, and the percentage of schools offering such programs in each of the subject areas. Appendices include extensive supporting statistical tables and the survey questionnaires. (LMI) AU - Hammer, Charles H.

Survey Report. AN - 62886134; ED347248 AB - This report describes differences in the employment experiences of high school dropouts and high school completers, taking into account several personal background and education characteristics. Such variables as labor force status, wage rates, type of occupation, job satisfaction, and other job-related activities are compared for two groups of students who were members of the high school sophomore class of 1980: those who graduated by June 1982 and those who did not. Comparisons are based on data from the first, second, and third follow-ups of the 1980 High School and Beyond survey, a national longitudinal study of the high school sophomores and seniors of 1980. In the third follow-up in 1986, the more than 20,000 respondents were asked about their labor force and continuing education status. Dropouts were more likely than completers to have been unemployed at least once between June 1982 and February 1986. On the average, completers earned more per hour than dropouts. More males dropped out, but female dropouts experienced more difficulties in the world of work than males. Hispanic American dropouts were less likely than Black or White dropouts to be unemployed or to experience longer periods of unemployment. Hispanic American dropouts' earnings also exceeded those of Black dropouts and Black completers. Completers were more likely than dropouts to be satisfied with their jobs and other aspects of their occupations. Twelve tables and 6 graphs present study data. Two appendices provide methodological and technical notes and 14 tables of standard error data. (SLD) AU - Kopka, Teresita L.

AN - 63056534; ED322221 AB - Descriptive statistics and associated analysis on American eighth graders are presented based on data from the 1988 National Education Longitudinal Study. The study will be repeated with the same cohort at 2-year intervals. Study variables cover attitudes, school performance, and activities of the eighth-grade students. In addition to direct student data, the study design incorporates data from students' school principals, parents, and teachers to identify additional factors that affect student achievement. In addition to a general statistical profile of the target population, statistics and accompanying analyses cover mathematics and reading performance, at-risk issues, school safety and climate, and high school and college plans. Focus is on circumstances under which children flourish and succeed. The study included a clustered, stratified national probability sample of about 800 public and 200 private schools. Almost 25,000 students participated in the base-year study. The sample represents the nation's eighth-grade population, totalling about 3 million eighth-graders in over 38,000 school in the spring of 1988. Results reveal that the American eighth-grade population is very diverse. One out of every five students is unable to perform basic arithmetic tasks, and 14% of the students are unable to perform basic reading comprehension tasks. The NELS:88 provides some indicators of "at risk" status and has identified six primary risk factors. Pertinent methodological discussions and associated data are appended. Fifteen graphs and 69 data tables are included.

Survey Report. AN - 63051022; ED322217 AB - In 1984, Congress reauthorized its mandate for the National Center for Education Statistics to collect data on vocational education students, programs, and teachers. This report is based on the Public School Survey, 1985 (PSS-85), in which teachers were asked to provide information about themselves and to specify the subject-matter classes they taught. The PSS-85 obtained responses from 8,568 teachers and 2,301 administrators from an initial sample of 2,801 schools selected from the Common Core of Data universe. Key findings showed that: (1) the percentage of females was similar for vocational and non-vocational teachers at 45% and 49%, respectively; (2) the percentages of minority vocational and non-vocational teachers were similar, at about 10%; (3) non-vocational teachers were more likely to have master's degrees than were vocational teachers; (4) overall, non-vocational teachers had about 1 year more full-time teaching experience than did vocational teachers; and (5) non-vocational and vocational teachers had taught an average of about 1 year part time, or less. Within group comparisons showed that: large schools had a higher percentage of minority non-vocational teachers than did small or medium schools; the percentage of females did not vary significantly by size of school; vocational teachers were about as likely to have bachelor's degrees as they were to have master's degrees; non-vocational teachers were more likely to have master's degrees than bachelor's degrees only; teaching experience of vocational and non-vocational teachers was greatest in large schools; there were three levels of teaching concentration among vocational teachers; about two-thirds of business teachers were female; and most business teachers held at least master's degrees. Overall, vocational and non-vocational teachers were more alike than different. Eight bar graphs and 10 tables summarize findings. The PSS-85 Teacher Questionnaire is included.

AN - 62889580; ED338654 AB - The National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) is responsible for improving the form and use of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The NAGB is beginning to define achievement levels to state clearly what students should know and be able to do at key grades in school. This report creates a policy framework, definitions, and technical procedures for establishing these achievement levels. The report is divided into three sections: policy framework, technical procedures, and display of NAEP results in terms of achievement levels. The following three levels are to be established for each grade and subject tested: (1) proficient, a solid academic performance for grades 4, 8, and 12; (2) advanced, signifying superior performance beyond mastery at grades 4, 8, and 12; and (3) basic, a demonstration of partial mastery of knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work at grades 4, 8, and 12. The NAGB intends to use this framework for reporting results for newly developed assessments for 1992 and subsequent years. An ad hoc advisory panel is to be appointed to assist in defining the levels, drawing on a number of assessments and studies. The second part of this report, technical procedures to be used, includes a modified Angoff procedure for standard setting. Appendices to the second section provide sample forms for use in the process. The third section of this document contains four sample graphics as potential ways of reporting achievement level information.

The data were collected on the Public School Teachers Questionnaire, one of seven questionnaires in the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), developed by the National Center for Education Statistics and conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. Four categories of qualification were derived from the data provided by the teachers. The first category of qualification indicated that the teacher had majored in the subject at the bachelor's degree level or higher and that the teacher was certified to teach the subject. The second category indicated that the teacher had majored in the subject but was not certified to teach the subject. The third category indicated that the teacher had not majored in the subject but was certified to teach the subject. And the fourth category indicated that the teacher had neither majored in the subject nor was certified to teach it.

The survey, conducted between December 1987 and October 1988, examined demographic characteristics, workload, compensation, retirement plans, and job satisfaction. Major findings included: the typical full-time faculty member is a white middle-aged male with tenure; racial/ethnic minorities comprised only about 10% of the full-time faculty, and women only 27%; the average full-time faculty member reported working a total of 53 hours per week for an annual income of about $49,000; a high percentage of full-time faculty were satisfied with such job dimensions as academic freedom, colleagues, and job security; fewer were satisfied with their salaries, institutional authority and leadership. On most issues higher percentages of part-time rather than full-time faculty indicated satisfaction though part-time faculty were less satisfied with benefits, job security, and opportunity for advancement. Plans to retire or otherwise leave their job within 3 years of the survey were reported by nearly one-fourth of full-time and one-third of part-time faculty. Appendixes provide technical notes, standard error tables, and the survey questionnaire. (DB) AU - Russell, Susan H.

AN - 63056579; ED322216 AB - Results of new research into the anomalous results of the 1986 reading portion of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) are reported. The original analysis of the 1986 data indicated that the estimated performance level of 9- and 17-year-old students had dropped dramatically since 1984, whereas the performance of 13-year-olds had increased very slightly. Since it was unlikely that such large changes could have taken place in such a short time, the results were not presented to the general public and publication of the results was suspended until further research into their accuracy could be completed or until other corroborating evidence for the declines could be found. To this end, the design of the 1988 NAEP was modified, and new data were collected and analyzed. The main finding from the 1988 data analyses is that the changes in assessment booklets and procedures that were introduced in 1986 had a substantial and unpredictable effect on the estimates of performance. Although many of the same items were used in both the 1984 and 1986 assessments, student performance on these items differed substantially when the items were administered in different contexts. Discovered differences between the 1986 and 1988 assessments were used in a design to estimate the reading performance of students in the 1986 sample. The new estimates show that reading performance declined slightly in 1986 at all age levels as compared to 1984. The declines, however, are not statistically significant. The new data also indicate a rebound in 1988 from the 1986 levels to about the same level of performance exhibited in 1984. The report contains 8 chapters by Beaton, Zwick, Yamamoto and Mislevy detailing the research and analysing the data. Appendices include various types of statistical and methodological information. Twenty-five graphs and 33 data tables are included. (TJH) AU - Beaton, Albert E.

National Longitudinal Study 1972. High School and Beyond. AN - 63076351; ED314506 AB - This Department of Education (ED) Tabulation provides data in six tables on the effect of delay in entering postsecondary education (PE) on degree attainment for 1972, 1980, and 1982 high school graduates. The data compare the patterns of delay in PE among these three cohorts by pattern of enrollment, type of institution, and selected student characteristics. Estimates in the six tables were based on either the National Longitudinal Study of 1972 high school seniors, the High School and Beyond 1980 senior cohort, or the High School and Beyond 1980 sophomore cohort. Data elements used in this analysis for the 1980 senior and sophomore cohorts were drawn from the base year and first through third follow-up surveys. Data for the 1972 senior cohort were drawn from the base year, first through fifth follow-ups, and transcript file. The data show that delays in beginning PE lower the rate of degree attainment. Students who begin PE immediately after graduating from high school are more likely to complete a postsecondary degree than are those who delay entry. Students in 4-year institutions who delayed initial enrollment were more likely to attain their degree than were those who delayed while at other types of institutions. A table displays the location of a few key statistics and their standard errors. Technical notes and a discussion of the methodology are included.

The data compare how these respective cohorts differ by examining the percentage who attend continuously; they also describe patterns of stopout or dropout of PE by time of entry, educational outcome, and selected student characteristics. Data are displayed in six tables. Estimates in the first two tables were based on the National Longitudinal Study of 1972 high school seniors. Estimates in the third and fourth tables were based on the High School and Beyond 1980 senior cohort. Estimates in the fifth and sixth tables were based on the High School and Beyond 1980 sophomore cohort. Data elements used in this analysis for the 1980 senior and sophomore cohorts were drawn from the base year, and first through third follow-up surveys. Data for the 1972 senior cohort were drawn from the base year, first through fifth follow-ups, and PE transcript file. Students who delayed entry into PE were more likely to drop out than were those who entered immediately after high school graduation. The dropout rate was higher at 2-year institutions than at 4-year or less-than-2-year institutions; stopping out was more common at 2-year and 4-year institutions than at less-than-2-year institutions; males and females generally stopped out of PE at the same rate.

Three tables provide information for each cohort on enrollment in PE by type of postsecondary institution. Three other tables show the mean length of delay in months for each type of school. They also show the percentage of delayed entrants enrolling within 2 years, from 2 to 3 years, and more than 3 years after high school graduation. Data were based on the National Longitudinal Study of 1972 high school seniors, and the High School and Beyond 1980 senior and sophomore cohorts.

Survey Report. National Longitudinal Study 1972. High School and Beyond. AN - 63055806; ED314507 AB - Patterns of delay in entering 4-year, 2-year, and less-than-2-year postsecondary institutions (PIs) for 1972, 1980, and 1982 high school graduates are described. Two types of delay were studied: (1) delay in beginning at a particular type of institution, and (2) stopping out for a period before returning (i.e., leaving school for over 2 months or a summer period and returning to school afterwards). This report uses information about the educational progress of 1972 seniors from the National Longitudinal Study and information from the 1980 senior and sophomore cohorts of the High School and Beyond Study. The data are taken from all years between the graduating year and February of 1986, when the last follow-up survey was conducted on each cohort. Over 40% of the high school graduates had enrolled in 4-year institutions by 1986, about 30% enrolled in 2-year institutions, and about 10% enrolled in less-than-2-year institutions. More students in 4-year institutions entered during the fall term after high school graduation than did students in other types of PIs. Delayed entry was most common for students in less-than-2-year institutions, and this was true for students from all three cohorts, regardless of gender or socioeconomic status (SES). Students from high SES backgrounds were less likely to delay entry into 4-year institutions than were other students, and a higher proportion of low SES students in 4-year institutions delayed entry than did either medium or high SES students. There was no consistent relationship between gender and the likelihood of delay among students at any PI. The combined rate of degree attainment and upward transfer was higher for students who entered postsecondary education immediately after high school than for students who delayed entering postsecondary education. At non-4-year institutions, attainment rates for stopouts were consistently lower than for delayed entrants. Four bar graphs and five data tables are provided. A discussion of the methodology and technical notes, a glossary, and supporting tables are included.

The report covers services provided under the Education of the Handicapped Act (P.L. 94-142) and subsequent amendments, as well as Chapter 1 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Chapter 1 supplies national statistics on the number of children who received special education and related services in 1988-89, their educational placements, and the number of personnel employed and needed. Chapter 2 discusses implementation of Part H of the Education of the Handicapped Act Amendments of 1986 (P.L. 99-457) to improve early intervention services for handicapped infants and toddlers and their families. It also describes the Preschool Grants Program ensuring a free appropriate public education for all children with handicaps age 3-5. Chapter 3 examines the transition of secondary age students with handicaps, including patterns of course taking in comprehensive high schools, the exiting status of special education students, and anticipated need for services by exiting students. The chapter also details State and Federal efforts to evaluate the outcomes of students in transition. Chapter 4 describes financial assistance to State and local educational agencies through formula and discretionary grant programs, and Federal efforts to monitor State policies and procedures. Appendices contain data tables (child count, educational environments, personnel, exiting students, anticipated services, population and enrollment, financing, expenditures); an overview of the 1987 High School Transcript Study; a summary report of special education programs and related services needing improvement; special studies contracts; and abstracts from the State and Federal evaluation studies program.

"The National Supported Employment Initiative: Expanding Employment Opportunities for Persons with Severe Disabilities" (Paul Wehman and others) presents findings, from a 1989 update of an ongoing national study of supported employment implmentation, which aims to gauge the progress made in incorporating supported employment into the existing rehabilitation service system, identify national trends regarding major policy issues, and identify the amount and sources of state funds to operate supported employment programs. "Training Students with Learning Disabilities for Careers in the Human Services" (Jane E. Herzog) proposes that the field of human services is an excellent alternative to other types of vocations for workers with learning disabilities and describes programs of the Para-Educator Center for Young Adults at New York University. "Projects with Industry" (John Eger) is described as a federal program composed of three elements: a linkage to the private sector via an advisory council; a training site, generally a rehabilitation facility; and a source of people with disabilities, generally the state vocational rehabilitation agency. "Help Wanted: People with Disabilities Needed" (Mark Donovan) focuses on a school-to-work transition program developed by the Marriott Foundation for People with Disabilities, called "Bridges.""Employment and Workers with Disabilities" (Reed Greenwood) addresses issues of where workers with disabilities stand in regard to employment, what can be done to improve opportunities of workers with disabilities for meaningful work, and what types of jobs are likely to be available in the future.

The topic is particularly relevant to English, sociology, home economics, history, and current events classes. In four activities students move from general observations about clothing to consideration of their own personal wardrobes, then to focus on school/community styles, and finally to the global aspects of outside influences on individual choices. Each of 4 activities contains a brief teachers' background section, a step-by-step lesson plan, reproducible worksheets, and suggested assignments. The activities include: (1) "Clothes Talk: Themes Found in Apparel"; (2) "Clothes Count: Personal Wardrobes"; (3) "Clothes Perception: Identifying Styles"; and (4) "Clothes Appeal: Commercial Arbiters of Style."

The telephone survey collected key enrollment, degree completion, and finance data from a nationwide sample of 642 institutions of higher education representing the more than 3,600 such institutions in operation in 1989. Among other findings, estimates from the Survey indicate that: (1) fall enrollment in colleges and universities increased almost 3.5% over fall 1988; (2) total awards of associate and higher degrees rose nearly 2% in academic year 1988-89 with women accounting for almost all of the increase; (3) current funds revenues and expenditures increased 7.2% and 6.4% respectively, in fiscal year 1988-89. Data are detailed in both narrative and tabular form for the areas of enrollment, completions (undergraduate and postbaccalaureate degrees), and finance. Survey methodology is also addressed. The 11 tables detail findings by such variables as sex, attendance status, level and control of institution, and fiscal years.

AN - 63062358; ED315443 AB - This is the second in a series of early estimates for private elementary and secondary education in the United States reported by the National Center for Education Statistics. These estimates are key statistics reported early in the school year and include the numbers of teachers and students in private elementary and secondary schools and the number of high school graduates. These estimates are based on a national probability sample of private schools surveyed in the fall of 1989. Basic data are collected through the ongoing Schools and Staffing Survey and a Private School Universe data collection system currently under development as an ongoing data system. Early in October 1989, questionnaires were mailed to a national probability sample of 1,169 private elementary and secondary schools from a universe of 27,000 schools. A total of 127 of these schools were subsequently determined to be out of scope. The overall response rate after telephone follow-up was 95% (986 of the 1,042 eligible schools). Comparable estimates for public school teachers, students, and graduates are collected through a survey of state education agencies. These early estimates are preliminary data to be used prior to the release of the 1989-90 final estimates in late 1990. Four data tables are included.

A Report Submitted to the Florida State Board of Education by the Task Force To Improve Minority Student Performance on the CLAST. AN - 62764395; ED370632 AB - During 1989, Florida citizens, educators, and students engaged in an intensive discussion about the passing score standards for the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST), which were scheduled to increase in August 1989. There was concern that the higher requirements would result in failure rates, particularly among Black and English as a Second Language (ESL) students, that were unacceptable. These concerns were reinforced by available data indicating that Black and Hispanic students do not perform as well on the CLAST as White students. In August 1989, the Board of Education confirmed a two-step approach to the raising of CLAST passing scores and requested that an ad hoc task force be formed to study the impact of the CLAST on minorities and formulate recommendations for the improvement of minority performance on the CLAST. This report by the task force examines the literature on at-risk students and reasons for poor performance which include social influences, learner characteristics, and academic factors. Research on the impact of the CLAST on minority students is reviewed, covering: (1) 1987-88 and 1988-89 CLAST results for first-time examinees in all public institutions by ethnic group (Black, White, and Hispanic); (2) March 1988 cohort scores on essay, reading, English language skills, and mathematics; and (3) estimated student performance based on approved passing scores. The remaining sections of the report provide recommendations for K-12 education, postsecondary education, and testing and reporting. Contains 34 references.

Survey Report. AN - 63063800; ED315017 AB - The report presents data on student enrollment at accredited colleges taken from the "Fall Enrollment" survey, part of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). The first section reviews trends in higher education enrollment from 1970 through 1987. The second section presents data on higher education enrollment for the fall of 1987 by: control and level of institution; level of education; attendance status; and sex and age of student. Enrollment trends identified between 1970 and 1987 are as follows: most of the dramatic increase (about 45%) in higher education enrollment occurred between 1970 and 1983; part-time enrollment increased about 70% from 1970 to 1987; and the enrollment of women increased 93% since 1970. Highlights of the 1987 data include the following: higher education enrollment increased 2.1% from 1986; most students in institutions of higher education were enrolled in public institutions; there was no increase in number of students enrolled in private institutions; over half of all students in higher education were 24 years of age or younger, though 27% of all students were 30 years old or older; and most younger students were enrolled full time and most older students were enrolled part time.

Using three separate measures, the study found that on average, 4.4% of 10th-12th graders dropped out of high school annually in the years 1985-88, down about 2% from 1978; nearly 13% of all 16- to 24-year-olds were not in school and had not completed school in 1988, down from 16% in 1968; and among a sample of 1980 high school sophomores, 17% had not graduated by 1982, but 46% of these non-graduates had completed school by 1986. The study also found that: the dropout problem is particularly pressing among Hispanics and the rate is not declining; nearly one-third of Hispanics have completed no more than six years of school; overall dropout rates, particularly for blacks, have declined in the last decade; differences in dropout rates of blacks and whites have decreased significantly; dropout rates for whites and blacks are similar when individual and family background are taken into account; and dropout rates are higher in the South and West.

Among many findings are the following: One year after graduation, approximately 86% of degree recipients were employed--75% full time (who earned $20,300 annually on average) and 11% part time. Of the 14% not working 57% were attending school. About 78% of employed respondents reported that their jobs were related to their major field of study in college. Business/management graduates had a higher rate of employment than other graduates. Graduates in biological sciences were employed at a lower rate (59%) than all other graduates but had the highest enrollment rate (61%) for additional schooling. Over 30% of all employed respondents felt that a degree was not necessary to obtain the jobs they held. Findings are presented in both narrative and tabular form for individual fields of study (business/management; education; engineering; health professions; public affairs/social services; biological sciences; mathematics, computer science, physical sciences; social sciences, humanities, and psychology).

AN - 62964070; ED322648 AB - Recent studies have reported that private schools surpass public schools on numerous educational outcome measures. Analysts have suggested that differences between teachers in public and private schools partly account for the measured success of private schools. This report investigates these differences in terms of teacher time allocation patterns. Specifically, the report asks if public school teachers spend more or less time than private school teachers in classroom teaching, planning and evaluation, extracurricular supervision, or other student-related activities. The report also examines whether differences in teachers' time allocation depend upon demographic, educational, or teaching experience factors, or on school characteristics such as school size or regional location. The study analyzed data from "The Public School Survey of 1984-85" and "The 1985-86 National Survey of Private Schools," using descriptive analysis and multiple regression techniques. The typical full-time teacher spends approximately 50 hours weekly on classroom and nonclassroom school-related activities, with roughly one-half of this time spent in the classroom. The remaining 25 hours are distributed across the other activity categories, with the largest proportion (60 percent) allocated to planning and evaluation activities. For all teachers, there are no significant differences in time usage between public and private school teachers among the activity categories shown. Within each instructional level, some public-private differences do emerge. These and other results are summarized and displayed in numerous tables and appendices.

AN - 63033108; ED310616 AB - This report on the handicapped population in postsecondary education is based on the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study and provides data based on the students enrolled in postsecondary institutions in the fall of 1986. At that time, over 12.5 million postsecondary students were enrolled, and of these, 1.3 million reported that they had a handicap. The most prevalent handicap reported was a visual handicap, reported by more than one-half million students. The data also indicate that a higher proportion of students at 2-year and less-than-2-year institutions were handicapped than at 4-year and above institutions. Few differences were found in the characteristics of handicapped and non-handicapped students. Most handicapped and non-handicapped students were attending school full time; most were white, non-Hispanic; and most lived off campus, not with their parents. The distributions of handicapped and non-handicapped students by major field of study were, for the most part, very similar in 1986. Handicapped students were only slightly more likely than non-handicapped students to be receiving financial aid. The report contains a section highlighting major findings, provides guidance in interpreting the data, and then presents the data (in tabular and textual forms) in three major sections concerned with incidence, characteristics, and financial aid. Technical notes on the study are appended.

As a part of the study, analysis of course-taking patterns of 1987 graduates were compared with data for 1982 graduates. In the fall of 1987, high school transcripts were collected from 34,140 students, including 6,583 handicapped students, attending 433 schools that has previously been sampled for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in 1986. Approximately half of the students involved in the 1987 study had participated in the NAEP assessment in 1986. The transcript study was designed to satisfy the needs of the National Center for Education Statistics, the National Assessment of Vocational Education, the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, the Office of Bilingual Education and Minority Languages Affairs, and the National Science Foundation. Information collected from transcripts included, but was not limited to, course lists, graduation requirements, and definitions of units of credit and grades. This report covers study methodology, including extensive discussion of sampling, data collection, data processing, weighting procedures and variance estimation, and transcript study data files.

AN - 63133248; ED309155 AB - Teacher incentive programs, including merit pay and career ladders, have been the focus of a great deal of debate among teachers, teachers' unions, administrators, and others in the education community. Teacher incentive programs have the potential to affect over 2 million public school teachers. This report on a national survey of public schools conducted in the 1984-85 school year, is designed to provide baseline data on teacher incentive programs that current and future research can use to estimate the changes that may be occurring in this area. The first section of the report discusses characteristics of schools that do and that do not have teacher incentive programs, and the types of programs most and least likely to be present in schools. The second section examines characteristics of teachers who work in schools with and without incentive programs. The third section explores the usefulness of the administrators' ratings on the effectiveness of each incentive program. The following are samples of the findings discussed in this report: (1) In 1984-85, about 38 percent of all public schools offered one or more teacher incentive programs, compared with 18 percent in school year 1983-84; (2) Less than half (42 percent) of all public school teachers worked in schools which offered one or more teacher incentive program; (3) Large schools are more likely to offer teacher incentive programs than small schools; (4) Schools with higher proportions of minority students are more likely to offer incentive programs than schools with lower proportions of minority students; (5) Minority teachers are more likely to work in schools offering teacher incentive programs than white, non-Hispanic teachers. Appended technical notes provide information on data gathering and school and teacher variables taken into consideration by the study. Ten tables and six figures are provided.

AN - 63124363; ED306697 AB - The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) projects that total elementary and secondary school enrollment will be 45.6 million in fall 1989. There were an estimated 45.4 million students enrolled in 1988. Enrollment in kindergarten through grade 8 is expected to increase from 32.4 million in 1988 to 32.9 million in 1989, an increase of 1.5 percent. In contrast, enrollment in grades 9-12 will continue to decline. This number is expected to decrease from 13.0 million in 1988 to 12.7 million in 1989, a drop of 2.6 percent. During the 1989 to 1993 period, elementary enrollment is expected to rise steadily, while secondary enrollment is expected to reverse its decline midway through the period. Increases are projected for both public and private schools. Technical notes discuss the methodology, forecast accuracy, and sources of data of this targeted forecast; an address where further information may be obtained is noted.

The report contains information on educational attainment beyond high school and group differences by sex, high school type, race or ethnic group, socioeconomic status, and ability quartile. Highlights include the following: overall postsecondary attainment declined for the 1980 and 1982 high school seniors, relative to 1972 seniors. Half of the 1972 class, one-quarter of the 1980 class, and one-fifth of the 1982 class attained a postsecondary diploma, certificate, or degree within 4 years of leaving high school. About three-fifths of the 1972 class and two-fifths of the 1980 class attained a diploma within 6 years of leaving high school. Most students earning diplomas did so within the first 7 years after high school. Male 1972 seniors were more likely than females to attain a diploma, and male 1980 and 1982 seniors were less likely to attain a diploma within 4 or 6 years. Private school students were more likely to attain some postsecondary diploma, certificate, or degree, than public school counterparts.

AN - 63007537; ED309711 AB - The 1987 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS), conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, is described. This student-based data system contains comprehensive information on how students finance their postsecondary education. The NPSAS in-school sample includes students enrolled in all types of postsecondary institutions in the fall of 1986, at all academic levels (undergraduate, graduate, and first-professional students and students who did not receive student financial aid). The summary tabulations describe the education expenses of undergraduate students by institution control and level, residency status, attendance status, and selected student characteristics. Since the education expenses of undergraduate students vary considerably across residency status, education expenses are presented separately for undergraduate students living on campus, in off-campus housing, and with parents. Education expenses of students attending postsecondary institutions on a full-time basis were significantly higher than the expenses of those attending on a part-time basis. The expenses of students attending on a full-year basis were also significantly higher than the expenses for those attending on a part-year basis. Appended are technical appendix notes and selected sampling errors.

AN - 63145769; ED309179 AB - Since 1986, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has collected information from 11th-grade students about their employment activities. Out of the 29,000 students asked about work in the 1986 assessment, 54% reported working some amount of time each week, and over 28% reported working more than 15 hours per week. Thus, of 2.9 million 11th graders questioned in 1986, an estimated 1.6 million were employed and attending school. Data in this report cover the general characteristics and academic achievement of working students included in the NAEP as well as ancillary information from other studies. Student characteristics analyzed include gender, race/ethnicity, parents' education, high school program type, mathematics and science courses taken, postsecondary expectations, absenteeism, homework time, and television viewing time. Results indicate that: (1) employment has various effects on student achievement; (2) schools vary in the amount of time and effort they demand from their students, but it appears that some teachers lower their expectations regarding working students; (3) students' jobs should be examined in terms of content compatible with youth development and achievement; and (4) where work assignments are connected to schooling objectives, work can complement, rather than compete with, schooling objectives. Twenty-nine data tables and one graph are included. (TJH) AU - Barton, Paul E.

Seven chapters are: introduction; postsecondary enrollment; postbaccalaureate education expenses; sources and types of aid to postbaccalaureate students; the composition of student aid awards; sources of financial support to postbaccalaureate students; and summary and conclusions. Results include the following: 45% of all postbaccalaureate students were 30 years or older, although 80% of the first-professional students were under 30; the average total expenses related to education for full-time postbaccalaureate students was about $9,300; full-time first-professionals borrowed higher amounts of aid on average than master's or doctoral students; over one-half of the aided master's students enrolled in the fall of 1986 and three-fourths of the aided doctoral students received institutional aid only or federal and institutional aid combined; and the majority of postbaccalaureate students enrolled in the fall of 1986 relied solely on themselves or themselves and financial aid. Four appendices are: additional tables; technical notes; a list of advisors to NPSAS; and classification of instructional programs (CIP) codes.

The seven mutually exclusive locale designations are: (1) large city; (2) mid-size city; (3) urban fringe of large city; (4) urban fringe of mid-size city; (5) large town; (6) small town; and (7) rural. The paper is presented in four parts. Part 1 provides an overview of the locale designations and their definitions. Results of the locale assignment process are presented by type of locale and state in table form. Part 2 analyzes the National Center for Education Statistics Common Core of Data Public School Universe by locale setting. Along with general observations about national school locales, states are clustered geographically and by wealth for school locale comparison. Part 3 is an appendix describing the methodology for assigning locale codes to the School Universe file. And Part 4 is an appendix containing tables of the results of the locale assignment. It is pointed out that code assignment is the first step in developing a uniform designation system and that several additional steps are planned or in progress to improve the designations. This paper contains nine tables. (Author/DHP) AU - Johnson, Frank H.

AN - 63132482; ED309178 AB - This summary report from The Nation's Report Card offers a synthesis of findings from recent national assessments of American education for 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old students in a variety of subject areas. Areas covered include reading, writing, mathematics, science, American history, literature, and computer competence. Trends in academic achievement, levels of learning, and factors related to achievement are discussed. Since 1969, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has conducted regular surveys of student proficiency in a range of subjects, each involving a national sample of students; about 1.4 million students from a cross-section of grade levels have participated in the assessments to date. Findings from recent NAEP assessments provide evidence of progress in students' academic achievement. Results from the 1984 and 1986 assessments indicate that, on the average, students' proficiency in reading has improved; proficiency in writing, mathematics, and science has improved in recent assessments following earlier declines. Equity is being approached between minority students and their white peers. Student achievement gains are associated with time spent on homework, course rigor, participatory teaching, and supportive home environments. The findings also indicate a lack of significant advancement in the area of innovative and thoughtful application of knowledge. Descriptions of proficiency levels (levels 150, 200, 250, 300, and 350) for reading, mathematics, and science are appended in the form of sample test items. (TJH) AU - Applebee, Arthur N.

Only entities whose primary focus was not elementary or secondary education were considered to be outside sponsors. The survey specifically focused on the number of public schools participating in education partnerships, the number of partnerships, the ways in which they were initiated, the types of support they provided, areas for which support was targeted, and the types of support and target areas for which principals would prefer to see increased private support. Frequencies were tabulated for the number of public schools participating in education partnerships and the number of partnerships. In addition, percentages were tabulated for the number of schools and students participating in education partnerships and the types of partnerships in schools. Percentages describing the 1987-88 demographic characteristics in schools participating in educational partnerships were collected according to geographic region, metropolitan status, instructional level, size of school enrollment, and percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunches.

AN - 63027024; ED309710 AB - By looking at progress of students from entry into postsecondary education (PSE) through completion of the bachelor's degree, it is possible to find out more about those students who do not go directly to college and graduate exactly 4 years after high school and compare them with more traditional peers. Data come from the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 (NLS-72) and its related Postsecondary Education Transcript Study conducted in 1984. Patterns of progress and attendance are shown for the 12-year period following high school. The two main topics addressed are: (1) the average time taken to complete each level of postsecondary education through a bachelor's degree; and (2) how many students take longer than normally expected to progress through postsecondary education. Results indicate the following: expectations for the time to complete any level or year of PSE are shorter by 3 to 9 months than actually taken by 1972 high school seniors; men are more likely to take longer at each level than women; the longer students wait to start PSE after high school, the more likely they are to take extra time to complete the freshman year; and completion of each level within the expected time contributes to continuation through the next level of postsecondary education. Two appendices are: methodology and technical notes (methodology, PSE computed variables, accuracy of estimates, and instructions for obtaining more information); and data for the study's figures.

Conference Report. AN - 63137230; ED305388 AB - The National Center for Education Statistics supported this conference as a first step in a dialogue among forecasters to benefit all in the field. Fifty forecasters representing 20 different federal agencies attended the day-long session. Objectives of the conference include: (1) to bring forecasters together for a forum to share information on data quality and sources, forecasting methods, and forecast performance; (2) to build a Federal Forecasters Network; and (3) to establish a directory of Federal Forecasters. The keynote address is presented: "Solutions to Three Forecasting Problems" (J. Scott Armstrong). The three problems discussed include: predicting the actions of key decision-makers, bias in forecasts, and gaining acceptance of the forecast. Work sessions presented include: (1) Topic A--"Data Problems" (William Sonnenberg); (2) Topic B--"Forecasting Methodology" (Paul J. Horn); and (3) Topic C--"Forecast Evaluation" (Debra Gerald and William Hussar). The conference agenda, a listing of participants, and a bibliographic listing of 64 federal forecasting publications are appended.

Technical Report. AN - 63129106; ED303783 AB - This technical report, the final product of the deliberations of a panel charged with an external review of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), considers three broad issues: (1) the apparent lack of comparability between the findings of the 1984 and 1986 reading assessments (reading anomaly); (2) the accuracy of NAEP trend data, particularly in reading and mathematics, and apparent inconsistencies between NAEP trend data and those from other major tests; and (3) problems and possible solutions in the expansion of NAEP to include a state-by-state assessment. Findings indicated that the bulk of the apparent declines in 9- and 17-year-olds' reading scores was probably artifactual; that while NAEP is a better barometer of national achievement trends than any available alternative, the quality of its trend reporting could be improved considerably (three recommendations are given); and that state-level assessments should be managed by a separate program unit within the National-NAEP organization, and should be parallel to the National-NAEP in most respects. The report concludes with 13 papers (individually authored or coauthored by panel members) addressing particular issues within the charge of the panel.

Survey Report. AN - 63105329; ED305024 AB - The college persistence of 1980 high school graduates and their subsequent attainment of bachelor's degrees are described with data taken from the Postsecondary Longitudinal Studies Program of the National Center for Education Statistics. Using the group of High School and Beyond 1980 graduates as a base, the persistence track transitions are charted. Six sections focus on the following: (1) introduction (persistence track model, analytic methods, report organization); (2) status in the fall of 1980 (overview, subgroup differences such as on- and off-track starts); (3) persistence through academic year 1983-84 (overview, subgroup differences such as how students left the persistence track and departure timing); (4) bachelors degree attainment (implications of starting off track, leaving the persistence track, and persisting on track); (5) transfers (rate of persisting transfers, persistence implications of transfers, degree attainment implications of transfers); and (6) discussion. Major findings include the following: about one-third of the graduating high school class of 1980 never enrolled in any type of postsecondary education; and of the 1980 high school graduates who immediately entered four-year colleges, about four of every seven persisted full time for 4 years. Two appendices provide data on methodology and technical notes (quality of estimates, statistical difference testing, and persistence modeling) and supporting tables. (SM) AU - Carroll, Dennis C.

AN - 63030528; ED314919 AB - This study evaluated the effect of training on improving the reliability of the peer review process by determining whether or not training made a difference in the variability among reviewers' scores and documentation provided to support the scores. Different levels of training were provided for participants in the peer review process who were reviewing applications for discretionary grants in the Training Personnel for the Education of the Handicapped program. Reviewers' total scores, total word count for strengths and weaknesses, and approval/disapproval decisions were then examined. There were no significant differences in applications' average total scores across the three levels of training, although standard deviations were higher with more training. Also, there was no reduction in the dispersion of the scores with an increase in training. Reviewers who received additional training tended to write more words in both the strengths and weaknesses sections. Concerning approval or disapproval of the application, there were statistically significant differences across the training conditions, but they could not be determined to be training differences. Reviewers across all training conditions provided more documentation for those applications they disapproved than for those they approved. More experienced reviewers tended to give lower scores and more documentation than less experienced reviewers. (JDD) AU - Sutherland, Doris J.

Chapter I presents national statistics reported annually by the states (e.g., a 1.6% increase in number of handicapped children served during 1987-88). Chapter II discusses educational placements and notes continued stability at 6% in number of children served in segregated facilities. Chapter III focuses on the provision of services to children below school age, reporting that all states elected to continue their participation in this component. The circumstances under which students with handicaps exit from secondary school and the services anticipated to meet their needs are analyzed in Chapter IV. The fifth chapter presents data on personnel trained under Part D of the law and reviews state-reported data on personnel employed and needed and issues in measuring personnel supply, demand, and need. Chapter VI describes the mandated survey of special education expenditures and related services, noting that the average cost of educating a handicapped student was $6,335 in the 1985-86 school year. Chapter VII presents the results of federal monitoring activities and discusses technical assistance provided to states by the Regional Resource Centers. Finally, Chapter VIII examines Congressionally mandated and federal/state evaluation efforts supported under the Act.

AN - 62883690; ED338633 AB - A data tape containing statistical information on student course-taking patterns in public and private high schools in the United States is presented. The file (NAEP.MASTER.CSSC.A1987) contains: (1) transcripts of 34,140 students (including 6,583 handicapped students); (2) information on the nature and severity of handicap condition for students with Individualized Educational Plans (IEPs); and (3) information on course lists, graduation requirements, and definitions of credit units and grades. The data are derived from student transcripts collected in 1987-88 for a one-time survey of high schools that participated in the 1986 National Assessment of Educational Progress survey for 17-year-old students in grade 11. A total of 433 secondary schools was drawn from this group to constitute a nationally representative sample for the 1987 High School Transcript Study. A modification of the Classification of Secondary School Courses was used to identify approximately 2,000 course codes. The user's manual included with the data tape contains a complete description of the sampling and coding procedures. Analyses of these data can be useful in exploring the details of the quantity and variety of courses taken by students who graduate. TYPE OF SURVEY: National Survey; Sample Survey.

This examination of the office provides a way to study the U.S.' growth from the industrial revolution to the information age. Chapter 1 provides a brief historical overview of the origin and growth of the U.S. office. Management issues, scientific management, and the post war economy highlight historical developments of the office. Along with copiers, chapter 2 focuses on the office machines of the typewriter and the computer from the origins of each to the transition from the typewriter to the computer. The issue of office organization and the status of workers in chapter 3 represents visually and physically the intangible relations of power and authority in the office. Following a description of office workers in chapter 4, chapter 5 discusses office trends of the high security office, new technology, the global office, the portable office, the home office, and future developments. Fifteen poster illustrations of different types of offices and subjects to be used with classroom activities accompany the text.

AN - 63123951; ED305372 AB - As a step in combining three of the Elementary and Secondary Education surveys of the National Center for Education Statistics to produce one database linking local education agencies, schools, and teachers, the merged procedures and collections forms were pretested. Different methods were tested by splitting the pretest sample of 220 public schools and 75 private schools into five treatment subsamples and using a different methodology in each subsample. The different methodologies addressed the following questions: (1) Should the principal designate a school coordinator to coordinate collection activities or should the survey assume that the principal would do this? (2) Should the coordinator be paid for time spent coordinating collection activities? (3) Should telephone or mail prompts remind the coordinator of follow-up? (4) Are there differences between public and private schools? (5) Are there differences by questionnaire type? Focus was on selecting the treatment that will provide a high survey response rate. Results indicate that the designated coordinator was important. Responses to telephone prompts were higher than for mail prompts. Returns from the public sector were higher than from the private sector. Paying coordinators did not significantly improve return rates. The different questionnaires did not produce significant differences in response rates. The full survey will utilize telephone prompts to unpaid coordinators. Eleven tables present pretest data.

AN - 63117653; ED303456 AB - This descriptive survey report analyzes data from a nationally representative sample of public school teachers. The first section of the report compares teachers who moonlight during the school year or who moonlight during the summer recess with, respectively, those teachers who do not moonlight during the school year or do not moonlight during the summer recess. Moonlighters are compared with non-moonlighters on a variety of measures, including demographic characteristics, educational background, teaching characteristics, time use, and salary. The survey reveals that moonlighters are more likely to be male, are somewhat younger, and have less full-time teaching experience than their non-moonlighting counterparts; secondary school teachers are more likely to moonlight than elementary school teachers; and while there is no salary difference between school-year moonlighting and non-moonlighting teachers, summer-recess moonlighters earn somewhat less under their primary contracts than summer-recess non-moonlighters. Data are presented in graphs and tables accompanied by narrative discussion. (JD) AU - Bobbitt, Sharon A.

AN - 63122750; ED301759 AB - A study compared state policies concerning vocational education. Particular emphasis was placed on the states' use of federal allocations, allocations between secondary and postsecondary education, ability to receive grants and spend the full allocation, additional sources of state financial aid, and quality control mechanisms. It was discovered that competition was the method used most often to distribute federal funds in those categories of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act where states were given discretion over funding allocation methods. The funds allocated to postsecondary education varied by state and by category. Within each Perkins Act category, at least one state allocated no funds to postsecondary education whereas another state allocated all funds to postsecondary education. Half the states split funds for disadvantaged persons into separate pools for secondary and postsecondary education before applying the intrastate formula specified in the act. The state programs were characterized by strong regional differences, with the central and western regions showing strong similarities. (Appendixes include information on the survey methodology and data reliability, state-by-state tables, and a copy of the survey instrument.)

AN - 63117967; ED299538 AB - A survey examined the relationship between school climate and reading performance using data from the 1983-84 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Reading Assessment. The NAEP survey asked a number of questions about possible school problems, such as discipline, teacher commitment, and standards for students. These items were analyzed individually and also combined into a composite measure of school climate. The study revealed that 4th, 8th, and 11th grade students in schools with a better school climate--as measured by the composite measure--tended to score higher on the NAEP Reading Assessment. School climate was more positive in elementary schools, private schools, and schools with lower proportions of students participating in the federal school lunch program. For individual school problems, reading performance was lower for students attending schools where a particular problem was rated more seriously, but association between the severity of a given problem and reading performance disappeared when the background characteristics of students were taken into account. For the composite measure of school climate, based on eight of the school problems, reading performance was higher in schools with a better climate even after controlling for student characteristics. However, the data only show that reading performance and school climate were associated; they cannot demonstrate whether better climate caused higher reading scores.

AN - 63116313; ED299943 AB - Findings from the High School and Beyond (HS&B) longitudinal study supported by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) are presented. HS&B followed the activities of 1980 high school seniors and sophomores (who became 1982 seniors) through 1986. Enrollment of these students in postsecondary institutions was examined for each month of the academic years following high school graduation. The study looked at enrollment patterns of 1980 and 1982 graduates, enrollment patterns in four-year institutions, enrollment patterns in two-year institutions, enrollment in less-than-two-year institutions, enrollment of minority students, and enrollment of highly able students. Findings indicate the following: black high school graduates in 1982 were about 5% less likely to enroll in postsecondary education than black high school graduates in 1980; in the sixth academic year after high school graduation in 1980, about one-seventh of the students were enrolled in postsecondary institutions; beginning with the second academic year after high school graduation and continuing for subsequent academic years, the 1982 seniors were less likely to enroll in postsecondary education than 1980 seniors; and slightly less than one-half of 1980 and 1982 high school seniors enrolled in postsecondary institutions in the first academic year following graduation.

AN - 63104786; ED304553 AB - The study used data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress report to examine the relationship for young adults between functional literacy skills and educational attainment. Educational attainment was classified into four categories: less than a high school graduate, high school graduate, some postsecondary education, and college graduate. On the average, dropouts had lower literacy skills than high school graduates. There was a large increase in literacy skills for college graduates compared with high school graduates. Comparison of educational attainment and race/ethnicity showed that the literacy skills of Blacks and Hispanics were lower than those of Whites within each educational level. Additional analysis of literacy skills was done for White young adults by further subdividing some of the groupings. (The sample of Blacks and Hispanics was too small to permit further breakdown.) The literacy skills of high school equivalency certificate recipients were similar to those of high school graduates on two of three scales, but lower on the third scale. Among young adults completing at least two years of college, those currently enrolled in school had higher literacy skills than those not enrolled. The literacy scores of college students completing two or more years and currently enrolled were equivalent to the scores of graduates of four-year colleges.

Cities are ranked on the basis of 1986 population estimates. School district rankings are based on total student membership as reported to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) by States through the Common Core of Data (CCD) surveys for the 1986-87 school year. All States, the District of Columbia, and all outlying areas under the jurisdiction of the United States, with the exception of Massachusetts, submitted data to the CCD surveys. Statistical data are included in three tables and three maps. Findings include the following: (1) student membership in the 25 most populous cities accounted for more than 11 percent of the total student membership nationwide; (2) in eight of the largest cities, more than one school system served the elementary/secondary school population; (3) the cities employed 221,475 FTE teachers (data for Detroit and for Boston are excluded); (4) 82 school districts serve 7,736 schools in the 25 cities; (5) more than 5 million students attend schools in the 25 largest districts; (6) New York City School District represents 17.7 percent of the combined school district student membership; and (7) the largest districts employ more than 265,000 FTE teachers. The appendix includes a list of 17 of the 25 most populous cities served by single school systems, and a list of eight of the most populous cities served by more than one school district.

Analysis Report. AN - 63119615; ED301696 AB - Four types of postsecondary institutions offer vocational-technical programs: proprietary, private not-for-profit less-than-2-year, public less-than-2-year, and public 2-year colleges. A study compared the students enrolled in each of these types of institutions and examined the rate at which students enrolled at each type of institution obtain licenses, certificates, and degrees. Students enrolled in proprietary and private not-for-profit institutions were more likely to be females than were those students in public less-than-2-year or public 2-year institutions. About 15 percent of proprietary school students were black versus about 9 percent of public 2-year college students. Nearly half of proprietary school students were in vocational programs in high school. About one-third of proprietary school students paid $3,000 or more in tuition, whereas over one-fifth of public 2-year students paid less than $250. Ninety percent of public 2-year students had no loans, whereas about one-fourth of proprietary school students had loans of $2,500 or more. Over one-third of proprietary school students attained a license or certificate versus only one-eighth of those attending private not-for profit schools or public 2-year schools. Students enrolled in private not-for-profit schools were most likely to attain associate degrees (28 percent). (MN) AU - Carroll, Dennis C.

Survey Report. AN - 63104826; ED304535 AB - Job success and steady work are more important to students today than making a lot of money; moreover, the values students place on job success, steady work, and making money diminish as students progress through high school and enter college and the world of work. These findings are based on the longitudinal study High School and Beyond (HS&B), sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics. Estimates are based on responses to questionnaires by HS&B high school sophomores in 1980 and on responses to follow-up questionnaires in 1982, 1984, and 1986. Some of the highlights of the study are as follows: (1) about 82 percent of students rate job success and steady work as being very important; (2) about 33 percent rate making a lot of money as very important; (3) the 1980 high school sophomore group is more concerned than a 1972 national group with being well-off financially and with making a lot of money; (4) the importance students place on these job-related goals declines as the students grow older; and (5) high school graduates and college students are more likely than high school dropouts to say that job success and steady work are important. The study includes comparisons by subcategories such as race/ethnicity and gender; the report contains extensive statistical data.

AN - 63204968; ED294698 AB - The U.S. Department of Education presents the first edition of what will be an ongoing series of collected statistical charts and graphs providing a long-term and comprehensive perspective on the well-being of youth. The longitudinal data, which begins in 1950, when possible, is presented with a minimum of interpretation. The report is organized into five major sections. The first, "Demographics and Family Composition," provides basic information about how many young people there are, and what kinds of families and households they live in. "Family Income" is the topic of the second section, which includes data on family finances, public and private economic support, and some of the costs associated with raising and educating young people. The third section is on "Education," and offers statistics concerning the number, achievement, and effort of young people moving through, and dropping out of, United States schools. "Youth Employment and Finances" is the focus of the fourth section, which gives information on employment patterns and earning and spending habits of young people. The fifth section deals with "Health, Behavior, and Attitudes" by bringing together direct measures of the welfare of youth--in particular, their health, positive and negative behavior, and attitudes about what is important in their lives. A glossary, list of sources of data, list of tables and figures, and an index are appended. Appended is a copy of the U.S. Department of Education News Release, Dated August 22, 1988, announcing this new publication, and including some reviewer comments.

Survey Report. AN - 63119353; ED299920 AB - The question of whether or not having a master's degree rather than just a bachelor's degree makes a difference in the employment outcomes of graduates 1 year after degree completion is considered. Employment characteristics are examined in relation to the number of years of previous work experience. Also, the enrollment status of recent degree recipients in conjunction with their employment characteristics is considered. The employment status of master's and bachelor's degree recipients is compared by selected major fields of study and by graduates' gender and race/ethnicity. Topics include the following: characteristics of master's and bachelor's degree recipients; labor force status; salaries of master's and bachelor's degree recipients; and job attributes of master's and bachelor's degree recipients. Results of analyses of data from the 1985 Recent College Graduates survey indicate that for individuals employed full-time 1 year after degree completion, having a master's degree had a positive effect on salary. It also significantly affects whether or not an individual can obtain a job that has some career potential and is related to field of study. The field in which a degree is earned is also important to these employment characteristics. Two appendices are: (1) a description of the Recent College Graduates survey, reliability of the estimates, and statistical methodology; and (2) definitions of terms used in the report. Tables are included.

Contractor Report AN - 63118850; ED299913 AB - The sixth in a series of descriptive summaries about the status of 1972 high school seniors, the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972, is presented. Four chapters focus on the following: education experiences of the 1972 senior class (enrollment in postsecondary education for 1972 high school seniors, attainment in postsecondary education, and the continued interest in postsecondary education); employment experiences of the 1972 senior class (employment experiences of individuals over time and average hourly wages earned by type of occupation); family formation patterns of the 1972 senior class (marital status in 1986, trends in marriage 1973-1986, trends in marital dissolution 1974-1986, parenting status in 1986, and trends of parenting); and civic participation and attitudes of the 1972 senior class (self-concept and locus of control, civic participation, and opinions about elementary and secondary education). Some of the major findings are as follows: in 1986, 44% of 1972 high school seniors still expected to continue their education; employment patterns differed by sex; in each year between 1973 and 1986, women were more likely than men to have been parents; and substantial proportions of the 1972 seniors agreed that there are serious problems facing elementary and secondary schools. Four appendices consist of methodology and technical notes; tables of regression coefficients and adjusted means; data for figures; and means, standard errors, and sample sizes for tables.

AN - 63131152; ED301199 AB - This survey of public libraries, which was performed under contract by Westat, Inc., using the Fast Response Survey System (FRSS), focused on their services and resources for young adults between the ages of 12 and 18. Questionnaires were sent to 846 public libraries; the response rate to the survey was 98%. The sample included 540 main and 306 branch libraries, and data were collected from individual library buildings rather than from library systems. Survey items included: (1) availability of young adult sections in libraries and kinds of materials they contain; (2) staff resources for young adults; (3) availability and use of library services for young adults; (4) amount of library cooperation with schools and other youth-serving organizations; and (5) perceived barriers to increased use of the library by this age group. The key findings included: (1) one out of every four public library patrons in 1986-87 was a young adult; (2) only 11% of U.S. public libraries have a young adult librarian; (3) 84% of the libraries offer a section or collection of materials specially designated for young adults, and in 74% of these libraries, the young adult materials were moderately or heavily used; (4) libraries with a young adult librarian are more apt to report moderate or heavy use of library services by young adults; and (5) in libraries without a young adult librarian, this group is primarily served by generalists. Findings are summarized in 15 tables, and a copy of the questionnaire is attached.

The sample for grades 3, 7, and 11, respectively, included: (1) 1,367, 1,570, and 1,580 Whites; (2) 265, 613, and 760 Asians; (3) 1,238, 1,602, and 1,022 Mexican Americans; (4) 566, 624, and 458 Puerto Ricans; and (5) 292, 347, and 566 Cubans. The data are from the 1985-86 NAEP regular assessment and the NAEP special supplemental study of language minority students. With the exception of third graders, no simple explanation could be offered as to why some items were more difficult or easier for ethnic group members. For the third grade, items with little or no text, involving simple arithmetical operations, were differentially easier for many ethnic group members. Overall, as many items favored the language groups as favored the majority comparison group at each grade level. Four tables summarize the study data.

The analysis is based on data reported on degree-seeking students by the 2,743 colleges and universities in the 50 States and the District of Columbia (D.C.) that responded to the survey. In fall 1986, 15% of the first-time freshmen in U.S. higher education institutions crossed a state line to attend college. Net migration is defined as the difference between the number of first-time freshmen who come into a state to attend college and the number who leave their home state to attend college elsewhere. Data are provided on the net migration of all first-time freshmen for each state and D.C. Thirty-one states had a net gain of first-time freshmen in 1986, while 20 states experienced net losses. Additional results include: 34% of all first-time freshmen and 32% of all out-of-state first-time freshmen were enrolled in public four-year institutions; and 86% of the students enrolled in these schools were state residents, with only eight states having fewer than 75% from within the state.

The Mathematics Report Card, Executive Summary. AN - 63116177; ED300207 AB - This executive summary presents key findings from the 1986 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in mathematics. It is designed to alert leaders in classrooms, families, and councils of government to the state of mathematics education in the United States. "Why Mathematics Counts" is summarized in the first section. Then, highlights from the assessment are given: the trend in mathematics performance is encouraging, particularly for students at ages 9 and 17 and for Black and Hispanic students. However, the gains have been confined primarily to lower-order skills. Other findings concerning achievement, instructional patterns, technology, course-taking, and attitudes are succinctly presented. Next, the assessment procedures are summarized, followed by some reflections on the findings. Trends in mathematics proficiency is the concern of the next section, with a graph highlighting overall trends and a chart showing the percentage of students in each age group (9, 13, and 17) in the last three assessments (1978, 1982, and 1986). Implications for instruction are considered in terms of students' perception of mathematics, patterns of classroom instruction, and the place of mathematics in the curriculum. Finally, a summary stresses the need to teach not only skills, but also higher-order thinking strategies. (MNS) AU - Dossey, John A.

AN - 63113328; ED298819 AB - The first in a series of National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) reports on undergraduates presents NPSAS data to policymakers and other interested parties. It examines the education expenses of undergraduates who were enrolled in a postsecondary institution in the fall of 1986 and the methods by which they financed these expenses. This is done for all students and all selected groups of students. Following an executive summary, the eight chapters focus on: an introduction; postsecondary enrollment; undergraduate education expenses; sources and types of financial aid to undergraduates; federal financial aid to undergraduates; the composition of student aid awards; sources of financial support to undergraduates; and summary and conclusions. Financial aid is shown to be an important source of support for many undergraduates, reducing the price an undergraduate must pay by nearly 40% in most cases. As students' family income levels increase, the concentration of students receiving federal aid decreases, no matter what type of institution is attended. The glossary of pertinent terms is followed by four appendices: additional tables; technical notes; advisors to NPSAS; and survey forms. Figures, text tables, and appendix tables are described.

Who was working, how much was earned, what kind of jobs students held, and how employment was related to college persistence are described. Data are limited to traditional college students during 1980-1984. An introduction looks at: the purpose; high school and beyond data; analysis procedures; and organization of this report. Chapters focus on the following: people working in college; amounts college students earned; the number of different jobs college students had; kinds of jobs college students had; number of hours per week college students worked; hourly earnings; and the relationship of work to persistence in college. Variables of type of institution, academic year, race/ethnicity, family income, and ability level were considered. Among the findings are: a greater concentration of jobs in the service sector among college students than in the total civilian labor force, with 23% of the student jobs were in occupations connected with the service industry; about 1 in 12 students worked more than full time while attending college full-time, but 25% worked less than 20 hours per week during the academic year; and those who worked during the academic year improved their persistence, while those who worked in the summer did not. Three appendices discuss: methodology and technical notes, accuracy of estimates, and confidence levels; supporting tables for figures one through four; and occupational classification.

AN - 63103895; ED299839 AB - From 1985-86, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) conducted a special survey of reading and mathematics performance of language minority Asian American, Hispanic American, and Native American children to determine the progress of these children at grades 3, 7, and 11. The study also sought to identify whether the differences in achievement within and among the groups could be at least partially explained by differences in demographic background, language use and competence, attitudes and school-related behaviors, and school experiences. Three achievement measures were examined, including: (1) academic performance as measured by seventh- and eleventh-grade students' self-report of grades in school; (2) NAEP reading scores for seventh-graders; and (3) NAEP math scores for third-, seventh-, and eleventh-grade students. Factors relating to the students' self-reports of high grades and to students' tested reading and math scores indicated that (1) frequency of second language use in the home had a significant positive relationship to grades in the total sample, as did English competence; and (2) locus of control, English competency, and positive attitudes toward reading tended to be important explanatory variables of reading performance, but that frequency of second language use in home had little or no relationship to reading performance. Sample NAEP reading and math test items are appended.

Variables studied were: (1) respondent age; (2) ethnicity; (3) gender; (4) educational level reported by parents; and (5) agreement between parent and child on background items. Student responses came from the NAEP special minority language supplemental study. Parent questionnaires were completed for a subset. There were 740 parent/child pairs in grade 3, 796 pairs in grade 7, and 753 pairs in grade 11. As the students grew older, they agreed more often with their parents. No consistent pattern of agreement results was related to ethnicity. Girls appeared more accurate in reporting their parents' educational levels. Data were inconsistent about the relationship of parental educational level and accuracy of the child in determining parental level. Students were most accurate in reporting items they knew about directly. These analyses indicate that data from young children may misrepresent important demographic factors. Seventeen data tables are provided.

The report is based the National Assessment of Educational Progress's (NAEP) 1986 assessment of the reading achievement of American schoolchildren. It does not discuss trends over time as many NAEP reports do. Major findings of the report are: (1) students at all three grade levels had particular difficulty with tasks that require them to elaborate upon or defend their evaluations and interpretations of what they read; (2) poor readers reported doing less independent reading than good readers; (3) students reported that their teachers used a variety of instructional approaches to reading instruction; (4) poor readers reported that their teachers used a narrower range of approaches than were used with better readers; (5) poor readers reported using a narrower range of strategies than good readers; (6) students from historically at-risk populations continued to perform poorly relative to the national population at each grade level; and (7) reading proficiency was related to students' general literacy experiences.

But he is wrong to say that Secretary of Education William J. Bennett has neglected elementary and preschool children. Two earlier handbooks dealing with the preschool- and elementary-age child-"What Works, Research About Teaching and Learning" and "First Lessons"-were developed from the most up-to-date research. The suggested James Madison High School curriculum builds upon that foundation.

AN - 63197545; ED294410 AB - This tenth annual report to Congress reviews implementation of the Education of the Handicapped Act (Public Law 94-142). Chapter I provides national statistics on numbers of children receiving special education and related services, numbers of children with handicaps receiving special education in various settings, and the numbers of school personnel available and needed to provide such services. The child count information is for school year 1986-87, whereas the information on setting and personnel is for school year 1985-86. Chapter II presents a discussion of circumstances under which students with handicaps exit from school, such as graduating, reaching maximum age, or dropping out. The chapter contrasts data for students with handicaps with data for nonhandicapped students. Data on the services students with handicaps are anticipated to need after leaving school are also presented. Chapter III focuses on the provision of services to infants, toddlers, and preschool children with handicaps. Extensive information is provided regarding the activities of the various discretionary and entitlement programs (especially Public Law 99-4567) with regard to young children. The chapter includes descriptions of projects funded for statewide planning, knowledge production, model development and replication, personnel development, and technical assistance. Chapter IV responds to the mandate to provide the results of federal monitoring of the state administration of the Education of the Handicapped Act. In addition, this chapter provides results of projects funded under the State/Federal Evaluation Studies Program. Descriptions of ongoing Congressionally-mandated studies are also included. Extensive appendixes and tables provide statistical data supporting the text.

This monograph is a compilation of the competencies for transition specialists identified by the 13 programs. The monograph was prepared to assist institutions of higher education in the development of curricula for the preparation of transition specialists, and to enhance the quality of future applications for federal support of personnel preparation programs. In preparing the monograph, over 600 competencies were identified from the 13 programs. Content analysis was used to aggregate competencies under 14 major headings: philosophical and historical considerations; transitional concerns; professionalism; advocacy; knowledge of agencies; knowledge of systems change; legal aspects of transition; working with others (communication, consultation, interdisciplinary teamwork, parents); development and management of individualized plans; planning and organizing instruction; assessment, delivery, and evaluation of instruction for community living; assessment, delivery, and evaluation of job training; administrative functions; and research. Within the 14 major headings, the 636 separate competencies are listed. Appendices include an analysis of emphases and agreement among the 13 programs, and abstracts of the 13 programs.

AN - 63100084; ED305210 AB - This report to Congress by the National Advisory Council on Indian Education (NACIE) includes an explanation of NACIE's history and current operation, ongoing programs, and recommendations for future work. NACIE, which reports to the Department of Education, is the sole Indian organization designated as an executive agency of the federal government. Reauthorization of Public Law 92-318 (Indian Education Act of 1972) was one of two major legislative issues for NACIE in fiscal year 1987 and is among the recommendations to Congress in this report. The other issue was a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) proposal to transfer certain BIA schools to tribal, state, or local control. In 1987, NACIE submitted a list of nominees for the open position of director of Indian Education Programs (IEP). NACIE makes recommendations to Congress concerning funding, administration, and operation of the IEP office. It also advises the Secretary of Education on administration of Indian programs, evaluates projects and assistance applications, and assists the Secretary of Education in developing criteria for evaluating and administering grants. Beside listing NACIE functions and fiscal year 1987 activities, the report also explains components of the Indian Education Act (Title IV), offers abstracts of ten exceptional Title IV school programs, and profiles seven fellowship recipients. The exemplary projects, all in elementary-secondary Indian education, show high degrees of parental participation, support by the school superintendent, and creative management of available resources. Appendices include the NACIE charter, the distribution of Title IV funds on a state-by-state basis, and responses to this report's recommendations by the U.S. Department of Education.

AN - 62570037; ED406310 AB - To measure and report on the extent and quality of students' understanding of geography, the National Geographic Society initiated and provided support for a national assessment of students 17 years old and in the 12th grade. Since 1969, the Nation's Report Card, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), has been responsible for collecting information about the educational achievement of United States youth in a variety of subject areas including reading, mathematics, writing, science, music, art, career and occupational development, social studies, literature, computer competence, and recently, U.S. history and civics. The results of the 1988 geography assessment, the first in NAEP's 20-year history, serves the interests of geographers, educators, policymakers, and parents across the country. Chapter 1, "Overview of the Objectives," defines geography in the curriculum and provides a framework for the geography objectives. In Chapter 2, "The Geography Objectives," the following learning outcomes are explored: (1) geographic skills and tools; (2) geographic knowledge and concepts (content) including physical geography and cultural geography; and (3) geographic inquiry including knowing and understanding and applying. A "Distribution of Assessment Items" is included to show the approximate percentage distribution of assessment questions in terms of their classification within the geography framework's main categories of geographic skills and content and geographic inquiry. A list of "Participants in the Development Process" also is provided.

AN - 63255375; ED281162 AB - Intended for educators, policymakers, and anyone concerned with the nation's reading skills, this booklet draws on four recent reports in the Nation's Report Card series, which are based on findings of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The first chapter discusses two important components of literacy--the ability to achieve a surface understanding of written materials and the ability to reason effectively about one's reading and writing. NAEP results are briefly discussed as a basis for the second chapter, which presents an overview of literacy development in America. The third chapter focuses on those who are at risk because of poor literacy skills, particularly children and young adults from minority groups and children without home support for literacy. The fourth chapter discusses the impact that an early exposure to print, appropriate instruction and homework can have on literacy skills. The final chapter explores two important initiatives for educators, policymakers, and the nation: (1) the at-risk population must be provided with targeted help to ensure that it has the opportunity to develop the literacy skills necessary for full participation in this society, and (2) educational approaches must be modified so that all children learn to reason more effectively about what they read and write. Recommendations derived from these initiatives are outlined for policymakers, administrators, and teachers. Graphs and statistical data are included. (JD) AU - Applebee, Arthur N.

AN - 63156011; ED288887 AB - In 1982, the Educational Testing Service (ETS) proposed to implement a new, complex design for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The major features of this design are described in "A New Design for a New Era" (Messick, Beaton, and Lord, 1983). The purpose of this document is to describe the actual implementation of the design in the 1983-84 National Assessment of Reading and Writing (NAEP's fifteenth year); it is intended as a supplement to the reports of that assessment (see ED 264 550, ED 273 680, ED 273 994) and supports these reports by providing detailed technical information so that the accuracy of the substantive results can be judged. Some major features of the new design were: to sample grades 4, 8, and 11 as well as students' ages 9, 13, and 17 (in school); to introduce Balanced Incomplete Block (BIB) spiralling as a method of estimating inter-relationships among variables; to collect extensive information about teachers, principals, and schools; and to scale the reading data, if possible. These innovations were added to the previously used procedures, which were kept to ensure maintenance of NAEP trends. This report describes: (1) the data collection processes, including the assessment instruments for reading and writing; (2) the data analysis process for both reading and writing, including "plausible values" of reading proficiency and the NAEP reading and writing; and (3) some estimates of the reading and writing proficiencies of selected subpopulations of the sampled students. Two supplementary studies on the validity of NAEP's reading and writing assessment instruments and the design effects in the 1983-84 sample are also presented.

A Handbook for Guides in Museums, Zoos, and Historic Houses. AN - 63160855; ED293229 AB - Addressed to docents, the manual presents general guidelines for making public tours of museums, historic buildings, and zoos more accessible to handicapped persons. Information on eight major disability groups is provided (mental retardation, learning disabilities, hearing impairments, visual handicaps, mobility impairments, cerebral palsy, mental illness, and severe communication disabilities), as well as on sensory and mobility changes that all older adults experience. It is noted that some disabled persons have needs that require the docent to rethink the basic structure of a program or substantially adapt the method of presentation. For each disability, related terminology is defined, emergency procedures noted, and specific suggestions offered for adapting the tour to meet the needs of the handicapping condition. For example, suggestions for adapting a tour for visually handicapped persons explore the following topics: evaluating the accessibility of the facility, introducing oneself, starting with a verbal orientation, offering assistance, speaking clearly and with enthusiasm, choosing an uncluttered route, including touchables in the tour, and using supplemental aids. A resource section presents a chart on epilepsy and how to assist a seizure victim, a list of agencies serving disabled individuals, and a selected bibliography.

Data for the machine-readable data file (MDRF) were collected via a mail questionnaire that was sent to all respondents (N=1,517) to the fifth follow-up survey who indicated that they had a teaching background or training to be teachers. A total of 1,449 questionnaires were mailed. The questionnaire focused on the qualifications, experience, and attitudes of current and former elementary and secondary school teachers and on the qualifications of persons who had completed a degree in education or certification, but who had not taught. The data file consists of 1,147 records. The data can be analyzed with both Statistical Analysis System (SAS) and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The Teaching Supplement data tape contains four related files: the raw data file (randomized identification number, questionnaire data, and the teaching supplement weight); the record layout for the raw data file; SAS control cards; and SPSS-X control cards. The files are designed to be used as a weighted data set in all kinds of analyses, and can be used to investigate some of the following policy issues related to teacher quality and retention: (1) ways to attract potential teachers to the profession; (2) how to match teachers' assignments with their academic training; (3) teachers' working conditions; (4) teacher satisfaction with their jobs; and (5) the main incentives and disincentives for teachers remaining in the profession.

This transcript data file, RECENT.GRADS.TRNSCRPT.A8586, is the second of three data files produced from the RCGS-1987. Although the purpose of the RCGS is to provide data on the educational experiences and post-degree employment 1 year after graduation of people who obtained a bachelor's or master's degree from an American college or university, the transcript file is restricted to bachelor's degree recipients. The file contains 16,977 transcripts from the 1985-86 graduates, representing a 90% response from degree-granting institutions, and an additional 8,742 transcripts from institutions transferring credits. Of the 16,977 graduates, 14,430 have complete transcripts representing their entire postsecondary education. The file is organized in four levels of records (student, institution and transcript, term, and course). A complete description of the transcript data collection process is provided in the tape documentation.

Announcement: CS-89 N1 - Last updated - 2014-03-21 ER - TY - NEWS T1 - HIGHER EDUCATION NEEDS HIGHER GROUND AN - 290982406 AB - U.S. Secretary of Education William Bennett has come under attack recently by leaders of higher education for his criticisms of colleges and universities made at Harvard University. There is, however, a good deal of research to support the secretary's remarks. We have about 3,300 institutions of higher education in this nation, and in relatively few of them is any meaningful self-analysis taking place. Many college presidents do not even acknowledge that there is a serious problem. In reporting research done for the National Commission on Excellence in Education a few years ago, Commissioner Anne Campbell along with a senior associate from the National Institute of Education observed that standards pertaining to course time, content and expectations in higher education appeared to have slipped over the past two decades. In fact, they asked, what does it say about a college's standards when it offers more credit for a course in nature photography than in neuropsychology?

AN - 63239835; ED276979 AB - National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data show that children in grades 4, 8, and 11 whose mothers work outside the home read better than children whose mothers do not work outside the home--but the difference is small. This conclusion represents one segment of the findings of the 1983-84 National Assessment, which focused on reading and writing and was administered to approximately 100,000 students across 30 states, and which for the first time asked students if their mothers worked outside the home. The findings were consistent with previous research studies indicating that children's reading achievements are unaffected by maternal employment alone. Related factors found to affect the reading performance of students included mother's level of education, amount of household income, and early education. Specifically, assessment results indicated that (1) more than half of the students reported their mothers worked outside the home; (2) students with mothers working outside the home performed better in reading, possibly due to the relationship between mothers who work outside the home and traditional socioeconomic advantages, for example, higher education and income; (3) mothers who work outside the home have higher levels of education and students whose parents have more education achieve higher reading scores; and (4) more students whose mothers work outside the home attended nursery school, which is associated with better reading performance.

AN - 63237787; ED276980 AB - National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data indicated a positive relationship between the amount of time spent on homework and reading achievement in grades 4, 8, and 11. This conclusion represents one segment of the findings of the 1983-84 National Assessment, which focused on reading and writing and was administered to approximately 100,000 students across 30 states. Specifically, students were asked how much time they spent on homework yesterday. Findings showed that almost two-thirds of the students reported spending time on homework, with little variance among racial/ethnic groups. This finding seemed related to more homework being assigned and reflected an increase as compared to 1980 NAEP results. Students who received homework assignments and did them tended to read at higher proficiency levels than students who did not have homework or who did not complete assigned work. Results showed that the more time students spent on homework assigned, the better they read; this relationship was clearest at grade 11. Seventy percent of the students who spent more than two hours on homework were found to watch two hours or less of television. Based on these results, NAEP recommended that: (1) students need parental support to complete assignments, (2) teachers and parents should set clear goals for homework assignments, and (3) homework policies should be consistent with other school goals.

The first chapter describes the tasks and evaluation criteria used in the study and highlights results of the study, including the following: (1) although many students appeared to know the basic elements of analytic writing, such writing was difficult for students in all grades; (2) while most students could express their points of view in persuasive writing, many had difficulty providing evidence for those viewpoints; (3) students had less difficulty with tasks requiring short responses based on personal experience; (4) students found it moderately difficult to write well-developed stories; (5) home environment is related to writing achievement; (6) students who indicated writing three or more reports and essays during a 6-week period had higher achievement levels than students who reported not writing during that time period; (7) students' positive attitudes toward writing deteriorate steadily across the grades; (8) students reported that their teachers are more likely to mark mistakes than to show an interest in what they write or to make suggestions for the next paper; and (9) content area writing increases between grades four and eight, and decreases again in senior high school. The next four chapters provide specific achievement data by grade level for informative, persuasive, and imaginative writing, and for writing performance among various demographic subgroups. The remaining three chapters focus on students' responses to questions concerning writing and writing instruction, specifically, their values and attitudes toward writing, how they manage the writing process, and what they write and the help they receive.

A Report to the Secretary. AN - 63249241; ED279149 AB - Developed by the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), this report presents current weaknesses in the education of students with learning problems (those having difficulties learning for any of a variety of reasons) and suggested strategies for correcting those weaknesses. The goal of effective education for all students is noted and progress made since the passage of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (P.L. 94-142) reviewed. The high dropout and illiteracy rates are indicators of a continuing problem. Special programs may themselves contribute to the problem due to the following features: fragmented approach created by compartmentalized delivery systems, dual administrative arrangements for special and regular programs, stigmatization of students placed in special programs, and frequent transformation of the placement decision into a battleground between parents and school. Recent experience has shown that the most effective solution is to adapt regular programs so that students with learning problems can succeed in the regular classroom. Recommended strategies for assisting the student in the regular class include: (1) increased instructional time; (2) support systems for teachers; (3) empowerment of principals to control all programs and resources at the building level; and (4) new instructional approaches. OSERS is committed to encouraging the partnership of special and regular education and to increase individualization of instruction through support of research and demonstration, personnel preparation, and special studies program priorities.

Final Report. AN - 63238937; ED278718 AB - In the 21st century, the population will need to possess basic skills in the areas of communication and higher problem-solving as well as have scientific and technological literacy; however, results from assessments by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) have indicated weak student performance in the area of thinking skills, making inferences from printed material, and interpreting the meaning of scientific data. The educational community has called for increased emphasis on problem-solving and higher order skills in NAEP's 1985-86 assessment. The goal of a project, as funded to investigate these thinking skills, was to develop and test a variety of measures for use in a future national assessment. Part 1 of this pilot project developed and assessed the quality and appropriateness of certain innovative tasks and procedures to measure the higher-order thinking skills used in science and mathematics. First, a conceptual framework of higher-order skills used in science and mathematics, then prototype exercises, including "hands-on" activities, were developed. Some exercises were adapted from those used successfully by the United Kingdom's Assessment of Performance Unit in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. These efforts resulted in a set of tasks which asked the students to "think" about a variety of relationships in mathematics and science. Three categories of administrative formats were used: (1) group activities to intact classes, (2) station activities consisting of "hands-on" tasks, and (3) full investigations which were administered to individual students. Almost 1,000 students in grades 3, 7, and 11 from 12 districts throughout the country participated. Scoring guides were developed, and student responses were categorized, entered into the computer, and analyzed. Results showed that students were responding to the tasks, and data conformed to expectations about basic developmental trends in thinking skills. In Part II, the pilot-tested tasks are presented individually. The group tasks are presented first, followed by the station activities, and then the individually administered full investigations. The presentation for each task consists first of the task as the students saw it; followed by directions for the administrator and the observation checklist, where these are pertinent; a description of the apparatus; the scoring guide with illustrative examples of each score level; and summary comments about the task. The data on which the comments are based included student performance on each task by grade and by sex and the correlation coefficient between the number right on the mathematics and science items and student data for most of the tasks. Separate analyses by sex were conducted to determine if there were any obvious gender biases in the tasks. No tests for significance were done on the gender results.

AN - 63233803; ED275692 AB - In 1985 the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) assessed the literacy skills of America's young adults. The survey stressed the complexity and diversity of literary tasks in American society rather than using a simplistic single standard for literacy. NAEP convened panels of experts whose deliberations led to this definition of literacy: "using printed and written information to function in society, to achieve one's goals, and to develop one's knowledge and potential." NAEP drew a nationally representative household sample of 21- to 25-year-olds living in the 48 contiguous states in the United States. Approximately 3,600 young adults in 40,000 households were interviewed and were assessed in performing tasks such as: (1) reading and interpreting prose; (2) identifying and using information located in documents; and (3) applying numerical operations to information contained in printed material. Major findings showed that while the overwhelming majority of young adults adequately perform tasks at the lower levels on three literacy scales (prose, document, and quantitative literacy), sizeable numbers appear unable to do well on tasks of moderate complexity. Included in the report are: (1) an overview and profiles of the estimated prose, document, and quantitative literacy proficiency of young adults at four levels of difficulty; (2) comparisons of young adults with in-school 17-year-olds; (3) characteristics of the young adults by race/ethnicity, years of education, and parental education; (4) relationships of background characteristics to performance levels on the proficiency scales; (5) oral language results for selected samples; and (6) a final section providing a summary and conclusions.

Final Report. AN - 63225038; ED275701 AB - This document provides the final report of a survey conducted by the 1985 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) to assess the literary skills of America's young adults. Chapter I provides the rationale for conducting a study of literacy proficiencies of young adults aged 21 to 25. The purpose and conceptual framework of the research are set against a brief discussion of prior assessment efforts. Chapter II reviews the instrumentation and methodology (focusing on the assessment design), the data collection activities, the scoring and entry of data, and the scaling of the simulation tasks. Major sections of Chapter III deal with the dimensionality of literacy skills, scaling the adult literacy tasks, and describing and anchoring the literacy scales. Chapter IV profiles proficiencies for the total group of young adults assessed on each of three literacy scales. Chapter V compares young adults with in-school populations and describes performance at five levels of reading proficiency. Young adults are characterized in Chapter VI using three variables as a framework--race/ethnicity, parental education, and respondent's education. Chapter VII presents analyses investigating the relationship among demographic characteristics, educational variables, literacy practices and the four literacy outcome measures. The oral-language assessment is described in Chapter VIII. Appendices contain: (1) sampling, weighting, and sample error estimation; (2) scaling and scoring procedures; (3) data; (4) the background and attitude questionnaire; and (5) a list of consultants used to develop and review assessment and exercises.

AN - 63235908; ED274684 AB - How much do 17-year olds know about U.S. history and literature? The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has been gathering information about the educational attainment of American students in a variety of subject areas, but no study had focused solely on students' basic knowledge of American history and their familiarity with major authors, themes, and characters of Western literature. An assessment probe was designed to supply systematic information about the extent to which this knowledge is acquired by students in American schools. An initial draft of the assessment probe, developed by staff members of NAEP, was reviewed by almost 100 educators to ensure that the assessment topics did not diverge from current teaching practice. The final draft reflects the suggested changes. An assessment of the literacy of 17-year-olds included U.S. history and general literature because it was felt that literacy includes not only communication skills but also knowledge about the variety of topics that form the basis of dialogue and information sharing. The National Commission on Excellence in Education named history and literature among its new basics. The U.S. history topics are arranged by chronological periods: before 1763; 1763-1815; 1815-1877; 1877-1920; 1920-1945; and 1945-present. Care was taken to address topics relevant to political history, women's history, Black history, labor history, technology, geography, immigration, and foreign policy. Criteria for considering certain works of literature as fundamental to our culture are given for the following genres: (1) novels, short stories, and plays; (2) myths, epics, and Biblical characters and stories; (3) poetry; and (4) nonfiction.

AN - 63209713; ED273680 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) evaluated the writing ability of American students in 1974, 1979, and 1984. Data from 95,000 students were examined for trends over this 10-year period. Writing tasks, including informative, persuasive, and literary or imaginative writing were administered to national samples of students aged 9, 13, and 17. The results indicated that, in general, achievement in 1984 seemed to be no better than it was in 1974. Achievement trends for Black, Hispanic, and White subgroups, as well as those defined by geographic region or sex, were similar to nationwide trends. From 1979 to 1984, students' writing skills showed improvement, particularly at ages 13 and 17. However, achievement remained low in 1984; only 38 percent of the 17-year olds produced a well-organized and detailed descriptive essay, and only 20 percent wrote an effective persuasive letter. Imaginative writing improved for all ages. Results also indicated that although greater attention was focused on writing instruction in 1984 than in 1974, the actual amount of writing done by students remained about the same. Data tables, graphs, a summary of NAEP procedures, and students' writing samples showing different levels of expertise are included. (GDC) AU - Applebee, Arthur N.

These items will be administered to a large number of American students aged 9, 13, and 17 in grades 3, 7, and 11. For this first national assessment of computer skills, it was necessary to consider the existing expertise of school staff, the current curriculum, the rapidly changing nature of computer science, and educators' different definitions of computer competence. Generally, educators agree that students need an exposure to computing that enables them both to experience the power of computing and to use that power to solve significant and interesting problems. Measurement objectives involve both paper-and-pencil tests of cognitive ability, as well as the practical ability to use a computer to solve problems. Three categories of cognitive objectives include knowledge, operation, and problem solving and design. Eight applications areas include word processing, database management, laboratory instrumentation, telecommunications, graphics, music generation, spreadsheets, and models and simulations. Programming objectives involve elements of a language; structures of data and control; and program planning, design, and testing. A number of items are illustrated. Five items are also included to illustrate attitudinal objectives.

An additional assessment in grades 3, 7, and 11 is planned for 1986. Educational objectives to be used in the 1986 assessment were contributed, reviewed, and revised by a committee of educators. Emphasis was placed on higher-level, critical thinking skills. The objectives were grouped into the following categories, which are described in this document: (1) processes-routine application; understanding; problem solving and reasoning; skills; and knowledge; (2) content-fundamental methods; discreet mathematics; data organization and interpretation; measurement; geometry; relations; functions; and algebraic expressions; and numbers and objectives; and (3) attitudes--mathematics in school; mathematics and oneself; mathematics and society; mathematics as a discipline; and attitudes toward computers. Objectives in five categories concerning the use of calculators are also illustrated: routine computations; more difficult computations; understanding concepts; exploration; and applications and problem solving.

AN - 63307720; ED272576 AB - This paper proposes a fundamentally new national data system for elementary and secondary education, differing in structure and content from present education data-collection activities of the federal government, the states, and local education agencies. This report was contracted by the U.S. Department of Education's Center for Statistics as a "10-year plan" of data collection to satisfy the statements made by writers submitting papers to the Center's Redesign Project and appearing in the "Synthesis of Invited Papers," and is intended as a companion to that volume. The current data system is flawed in fundamental ways; it does not provide the kinds of information needed to understand the context, processes, and outcomes of schooling in the United States. These kinds of information are now being demanded by policy-makers as well as by the general citizenry. The proposed national data system is designed to provide essential information for policy-makers in all branches and at various levels of government as well as new constituencies. The structure of the proposed national data system, as well as specific categories and subcategories of data have been identified in the report, and the types of costs and distribution of costs likely to be incurred in developing and maintaining the proposed national data system are enumerated.

Also assessed were types of remedial support services, type of credit and requirement status, program evaluation and retention, and remedial course offerings. In 1983-1984, 25 percent of all college freshmen took one or more courses in remedial mathematics, 21 percent took remedial writing, and 16 percent took remedial reading. At least one course in math, reading, or writing was offered by 82 percent of schools. More offered remedial courses in writing and math than in reading. Overall, public, two-year, and open admission colleges were more likely to offer remedial courses than other colleges. Twenty-seven percent of freshmen enrolled in remedial courses at public colleges, compared to 15 percent at private colleges. At two-year colleges, 28 percent of freshmen enrolled, compared to 19 percent at four-year colleges. Ninety percent of institutions offered remedial support services such as diagnosis, learning assistance labs, tutoring, and counseling. About 70 percent of schools did not award credit for any remedial courses. Most schools offering remedial programs required students not meeting institutional standards to take remedial courses.

A Public Discussion Draft. AN - 63307186; ED272575 AB - The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) invited researchers, practitioners, and users to provide recommendations that would assist NCES in the redesign of its elementary and secondary education data program. This is a draft of the first of two volumes synthesizing the papers received by July 31, 1985. In Part I, Emerson J. Elliot, Administrator of NCES, introduces the Elementary Secondary Data Redesign Project and invites public participation. The six chapters of Part II combine the diverse concepts drawn from different papers into the following coherent units: (1) "Basic Data--Descriptive Statistics"; (2) "The Need for Process Data"; (3) "Educational Outcomes"; (4) Improving Our Understanding of the Relationship between Educational Inputs and Processes, and Educational Outcomes and Life Chances"; (5) Methodological, Technological and Technical Issues on Data Collection"; and (6) "Issues on the Functions and Activities of the National Center for Education Statistics." Part III provides the synthesizers' suggestions, based on the papers, on the following topics: consistency of definitions, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, process data collection, competency-based curriculum, and ways of improving the quality of the data collection process, the use of new technologies, the need to acknowledge non-school learning, and the potential for reorganizing NCES and its new mission. Appendices include a list of authors of invited papers, comments and letters; guidelines for invited papers; and the Elementary/Secondary Education Data Acquisition Program of the NCES, May 1985.

Federal support for education totalled $62.2 billion in 1984, an increase of 18 percent over 1980. Between 1980 and 1984 the largest increase in federal support (30 percent as of 1984) went to research at universities and related institutions. During the same period, federal support for elementary and secondary education grew by 1 percent, and support for higher education declined by 7 percent. Among federal agencies, the Department of Education provides the most program funds overall and for all purposes except research. The Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Energy are the leaders in outlays for research at universities. This report differs from United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB) annual reports on education prepared during the 1970's. OMB reports did not include noneducational research conducted at academic institutions, off-budget items (such as the annual volume of guaranteed student loans), or an annual estimate of federal tax expenditures. Included with this report are six tables and eight appendixes.

High School and Beyond: A National Longitudinal Study for the 1980's. AN - 63286607; ED260546 AB - The report presents data from the base year (1980) and first followup (1982) of a longitudinal study of U.S. high school seniors and sophomores. Students were asked in self-administered questionnaires whether they had any of seven specific handicaps; whether they had a condition that limited the kinds or amounts of work or education they could obtain; and whether they had participated in special programs for the physically or educationally handicapped. Using the reports of students in 1980 and 1982, the percentage of continuously handicapped students was estimated at 4% for the senior cohort and 6% for the sophomore. To examine explanations for inconsistency between student responses at the two times, student self-identification as handicapped was examined in relationship to cognitive tests, maintenance in school in 1982, and self-reported grades. Analysis revealed support for the hypothesis that self-reported handicap status is associated with real differences among students. Differences were also found in locus of control, self-esteem, and affective balance. Those students identified by teachers as handicapped in 1980 were likely to have poor test scores and were more likely to have dropped out by 1982.

AN - 63285070; ED260230 AB - Consumer education can be defined as "a study of intelligent and effective methods of buying and using goods and services, competent money management, and the relationship of the consumer to the economy, the workplace, and the home." An important role of government is providing the individual with information so that the individual can exercise the option of choice provided by our system of government. On the Federal level, consumer education cuts across all departmental and agency lines. As a result of the Education Act of 1972, the Federal Government became involved in consumer education. Most junior and senior high schools today offer some courses in consumer economics as part of the home economics program or as part of marketing education, business education, or social studies. However, these programs are funded by a much larger percentage of state and local funds than Federal funds. The challenge today is to get consumer information to the people who need it the most, including those who are disadvantaged or illiterate. Efforts should be made to use television, outreach programs, newspapers, and basic education courses as vehicles to bring consumer education to a larger proportion of the population, especially to those who need it the most. Officials at the national level encourage activities to support strong private and voluntary activity and partnerships for consumer education. (KC) AU - Worthington, Robert M.

AN - 63289048; ED262096 AB - This paper overviews technical developments in data analysis procedures for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reading data during 1984. The highlight of the reshaping of the NAEP data has been the scaling using item response theory (IRT). AT this point in the data analysis, an IRT-based scale appears appropriate for reading proficiency. A single dimension that spans the three grade levels (4, 8, and 11) and the three age levels (9, 13, and 17) has been located. A report of results on a scale representing a hypothetical test with known properties is in preparation. Effects of changing the administration of exercises from a tape recording to pencil-and-paper have been examined. Data from past NAEPs are being rescaled onto the new reading proficiency scales for analysis of trends. Present technology has been adapted to mesh with the new Balanced Incomplete Block (BIB) spiralling. The following activities are discussed in detail: (1) the multifaceted approach to establishing the dimensionality of the reading parameters; (2) estimation of reading parameters; (3) proficiency imputation; (4) the reading proficiency scale; and (5) trend data.

AN - 63293656; ED263192 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has acted to provide a new perspective with its 1985 survey of the literacy skills of young Americans aged 21-25. In the Spring of 1985, NAEP began screening 40,000 households to identify a nationally representative sample of between 3,600 and 5,000 young adults aged 21-25 and several hundred out-of-school 17-year-olds. (An oversampling of Black and Hispanic young adults will premit NAEP to deliver reliable reports on those groups.) We can fully appreciate the conditions of literacy among young adults in our society only when we survey their proficiency at various tasks along with the characteristics of the backgrounds and the environments in which they live. NAEP staff members will gather information on the background and demographic characteristics of young adults. A second phase of the study involves the measurement of "core" skills, and a third phase includes simulation tasks resulting in a profile of literacy skills or an oral language interview. Findings of the study will have implications for economic development, educational programs, and practical programs to improve literacy.

AN - 63377950; ED256212 AB - Information on college enrollments of nonresident aliens is presented, based on the Higher Education General Information Survey. Data on total and nonresident alien enrollments are shown for 1976, 1978, 1980, and 1982 by institutional type and level of enrollment. Enrollment figures for 1976 and 1978 include the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the outlying areas, while those for 1980 and 1982 omit the outlying areas. Total and nonresident alien enrollment by type of institution and student gender are also shown, as are total and nonresident alien enrollments for U.S. colleges by state for 1976 and 1982. In 1976 the nonresident alien enrollment for the 50 states and the District was 218,680; by 1982, it had risen to 331,301, an increase of 52 percent. In 1982 and earlier years, the incidence of enrollment of nonresident aliens was much greater at the graduate than at the undergraduate level. The largest increase in percentage of nonresident alien enrollment, however, was for undergraduates enrolled at four-year colleges other than universities, where enrollment increased 74 percent (from 55,263 to 96,292) between 1976 and 1982. States with the largest nonresident alien students were California, Texas, and New York.

The report is a compilation and comparison of actual dollar amounts obligated by the 27 designated federal agencies to the nation's 102 HBCUs. Obligations are reported in six categories: research and development, student assistance, training, facilities and equipment, fellowships, and program evaluation. In addition to brief descriptions for the various federal agencies, information is provided on strategies designed to: increase BHCU participation in federally sponsored programs, stimulate public/private sector partnerships, and to eliminate unintended barriers to participation by HBCUs in federal programs. Agency activities to improve the administrative infrastructures of HBCUs are considered, and significant results of four years of implementation of the executive order are summarized. Overall, the dollar obligations made by the designated agencies to HBCUs in FY 1984 were higher than in FY 1981, and HBCUs received a greater percentage of the total federal funding allocated to higher education institutions in FY 1984 than in FY 1981.

AN - 63284924; ED264550 AB - Focusing on trends in reading achievement during the period from l970 to l984, this report draws from national assessments that involved more than 250,000 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old students from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. The first chapter (1) provides an overview of the report; (2) summarizes recent achievements documented by the surveys, including improvements in reading made by Black, Hispanic and disadvantaged students; (3) lists areas in which more improvement is needed; and (4) cites other trends revealed by the data. The findings include: (1) the reading proficiency of males has trailed that of females in all four reading assessments; (2) the gaps between the regions of the country have narrowed considerably due primarily to improvements in the Southeastern region (except for that region's 9-year-olds); (3) the influence of home environment is apparent in that students from homes with an abundance of reading materials are substantially better readers than those with few materials available and students whose parents have post-high school education read substantially better than those whose parents have not graduated from high school; (4) six or more hours of TV viewing per day is consistently and strongly related to lower reading proficiency; and (5) students who receive homework and do it tend to read better than students who do not have homework or do not do it. The major portion of the second chapter offers brief descriptions of the five levels of proficiency defined by the reading tasks used in the surveys and gives data showing the number of students in each age group who attained each level. The third chapter examines the data to discover exactly who has been improving, providing figures for Black, Hispanic, and White students, for males and females, and for students in different types of communities and in different regions. The fourth chapter looks at influences on reading proficiency, including parents' level of education, reading materials in the home, the effects of television, and homework. Appendixes contain descriptions of procedures used in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reading assessments and extensive tables of data.

Analytic Report. AN - 63258914; ED265812 AB - The relationship between background characteristics and salaries of male and female college graduates was assessed, and causes for salary differences were investigated. Data were drawn from the 1981 Survey of 1979-80 College Graduates, which covered individuals who received bachelor's or master's degrees from July 1, 1979, to June 30, 1980. A sample of 15,852 graduates from a nationally representative sample of 286 institutions was selected. The average salary in May 1981 for full-time employed male college graduates was $17,000, compared to $13,400 for females. The salary differences between male and female graduates were analyzed using a descriptive approach, regression analysis, and the decomposition-of-means technique. It was found that men outnumbered women in the high-paying occupation and major field categories, while women outnumbered men in the low-paying categories. While half the difference in predicted salary was attributed to women choosing lower-paying industries and occupations, the other half appears attributable to a lower rate-of-return for females compared to males on all predictor variables. Extensive appendices provide statistical findings and information on predictor variables, the survey and sampling procedures, frequency distributions and salaries categorized by occupation, major field of study, industrial grouping, marital status, region, race/ethnicity, and full-time work experience.

This study evaluated the validity of student responses, using the parent questionnaire data as a standard; the validity of student reports of their grades, using transcript data as a standard; and the reliability of student responses, estimated from twin data. The results of analyses of the three HS&B data sets were generally quite consistent with the findings of previous investigations. The quality of student questionnaire data depended on both the nature of the questions asked and the characteristics of the student who provided the answers. (Author/BW) AU - Fetters, William B.

National Center for Education Statistics Bulletin. AN - 63455351; ED246262 AB - Data from high school transcripts of about 12,000 students who graduated in 1982 were examined, relevant to a number of popular beliefs about vocational education. Compared to students in private high schools, students in public high schools were more likely to be enrolled in vocational courses. The average number of total credits earned in vocational education was greatest among graduates of schools that are located in the North Central region of the country; located in rural, as opposed to urban or suburban areas; and small (less than 600 students). The extent of student participation in vocational education was found to be related to race/ethnicity, cognitive test performance, socioeconomic status (SES), and high school program. Students who earned the most credits in vocational education were Hispanic, scored in the lowest quartile on the cognitive test battery, had a comparatively low SES, and were in a vocational program. Sex differences in overall vocational coursetaking were apparent. (Technical notes describe classification of courses, alternative classifications, course credits and coding, sample size, and standard errors. Five data tables are appended.)

Executive Summary. AN - 63350497; ED248832 AB - A survey of the availability, use, and support--financial, personnel, and staff development--of instructional media in United States public and private elementary and secondary schools was conducted by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Center for Education Statistics. This study expanded on a 1976-77 study of school utilization of television by adding audio/radio and computers. A sample of 619 school superintendents, 1,350 principals and 2,700 teachers were queried about any in-school instructional applications of programming and equipment during the 1982-83 school year. When classifying responses, district size and wealth and school level were used to illuminate similarities and differences that existed in media use. Results of the survey showed that all three media were available to at least some teachers in most school systems; media use varied across media and school levels; financial support differed greatly according to district size and wealth; over 90% of districts offered inservice teacher training in some media; and some have media support personnel. Comparisons with results of the earlier study show that the status of television for instruction has remained relatively stable from 1976-1977 to 1982-1983, with fewer elementary and more secondary teachers using television.

The analysis produced four statistics: the average number of years that students took courses in science and mathematics; the percentages of students who had taken three or more years each of science and mathematics; the percentages of students who had earned credit in specific science and mathematics courses; and student attitudes toward mathematics. All statistics were computed for the total sample of 1982 high school graduates and for subgroups defined by sex, race/ethnicity, high school program, socioeconomic status, school type, educational aspiration, and geographic region. Major findings are summarized and discussed in the text while detailed statistics for subgroups are presented in the appendix. (BW) AU - Peng, Samuel S.

AN - 63454942; ED244968 AB - Two factors which act to depress cognitive test performance are referred to as anxiety and boredom. The responses to a 20-item adjectival checklist administered to high school seniors after completing a cognitive test battery were subjected to iterative principal axes factor analysis. The relationships between anxiety or boredom and test performance were explored. Anxiety and boredom were shown to have adverse effects upon performance on reading and mathematics tests. Anxiety and, to a lesser extent, boredom sometimes appear to have effects on test performance which are strong enough to neutralize or reverse effects associated with other variables, such as sex, socioeconomic status, and race or ethnicity. Differences in anxiety level can lead to differences in test scores large enough to mask any evidence of growth. Cognitive growth may not be indicative of true growth, but reflects a change in anxiety level. (DWH) AU - Brown, George H. AU - Carroll, Dennis C.

It is true, of course, that rank-and-file Democrats support school prayer just as strongly as rank-and-file Republicans. In fact, with support for the president's amendment ranging between 70 percent to 80 percent, it is hard to find any population group that is significantly less supportive than any other -- unless you poll the leadership of the Democratic Party.

Chapters 1 and 2 present data from a broad national perspective on trends in enrollment, resources and finances, and graduate performance and degrees. Central to both chapters is the enrollment decline and the changing composition of the student body. Chapter 3 describes participation in vocational coursework at the secondary and postsecondary education levels and shows the diversity among vocational education participants. Chapter 4 focuses on educationally disadvantaged adults. The number of adults with substandard educational levels is identified, and the relationship between low educational attainment, poverty, and race/ethnicity is explored. Addressing current issues in secondary education, chapter 5 describes high school dropout rates, reasons for leaving school before graduation, postsecondary plans of high school seniors, and the rate at which high school graduates took selected academic courses. Each chapter presents tables and charts of the data along with a narrative interpretation. The report provides an explanation of data sources, definitions of selected terms, and a cumulative index to the report from the 1981 through the present edition.

Data are collected from the regular HEGIS universe of over 3,000 accredited higher education institutions in the United States and its outlying territories. The response rate is typically over 90%. In 1984, 3,379 institutions were queried and 2,931 (87%) responded; records for non-responding institutions were zero-filled rather than imputed. Records in each file are arranged by institution. Each record consists of basic institutional characteristics (e.g., calendar system used, current total enrollment, enrollment range, highest level of offering, institution affiliation, institution name, land grant status, race and sex ratios of the student body, etc.), followed by data for all students when they are first admitted as undergraduate, graduate, unclassified, or first-professional. Undergraduates are categorized either as first-time freshmen who have just completed high school, or other first-time freshmen, or as transfer students. Students are also categorized as full-time or part-time. Foreign students are grouped separately under the above categories. Extension students are reported along with main campus data; students in non-credit adult or extension courses are not included. Student variables include: residence, home state, sex, full-time or part-time, foreign or domestic, and category of student (as discussed above). POPULATION: Higher Education Institutions (73,000).

National Center for Education Statistics Bulletin. AN - 63442871; ED236366 AB - A study was conducted to provide descriptive information about dropout rates by various subgroups, their reported reasons for dropping out, and some activities after leaving school. As part of the longitudinal study, High School and Beyond, the National Center for Education Statistics surveyed 30,000 sophomore and 28,000 senior high school students in 1980 from a representative sample of 1,015 schools; then the center recontacted 12,200 of the seniors and all of the sophomores who remained in their same schools in 1982. The survey also included about 50 percent of those sophomores who had left the schools they attended in 1980, including dropouts, transfers, and early graduates. Response rates were very high, amounting to about 90 percent. Dropouts were identified and asked to complete a questionnaire inquiring about their reasons for dropping out, their plans, and their activities after leaving school. Some of the findings were the following: (1) about 14 percent of high school sophomores of 1980 left school during or after their sophomore year before completing requirements for graduation; (2) by the spring of 1982, many of these dropouts (more than 27 percent) were unemployed or dissatisfied with their work and were looking for work; (3) the majority of those who worked full- or part-time were engaged in low-skilled jobs; (4) most of the dropouts regretted their decision to leave school prematurely; (5) reasons for dropping out included dislike of or expulsion from school, desire to work full-time, or plans to get married, and (6) students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The survey authors surmised that knowledge of these findings may help school administrators to devise plans to curtail dropping out. (KC) AU - Peng, Samuel S. AU - Takai, Ricky T.

Findings for the early 1970s include the following: the large increase in black college enrollment coincided with the expansion in both federal legislation and policies aimed at reducing barriers for minorities and low-income students; by 1975, the percent of black high school graduates who enrolled in college was the same as that for whites (although the high school graduation rates were still lower for blacks than for whites); and the increase in black college enrollment took place at the undergraduate level. Among the findings for the last half of the 1970s are: the number of blacks who enrolled in college remained about the same, despite an almost 20 percent increase in the number of blacks eligible for college; and the number and proportion of degrees awarded to blacks remained about the same at the bachelor's, doctor's, and first-professional level, while there were substantial declines at the master's level.

AN - 63430120; ED235134 AB - This survey was requested by the National Commission on Excellence in Education to provide input from schools, colleges, and departments of education (SCDE's) on improving the quality of teacher education. Survey questions sought information on preferences for recommendations to make curriculum more rigorous, raise entrance criteria, and extend programs beyond four years. Information was also sought on recommendations that had been implemented. Questionnaires were sent to 432 representative institutions with a response rate of 92 percent. Types of institutions included public and private SCDE's offering doctoral, comprehensive, general baccalaureate, or specialized programs. About one-half of the department heads highly preferred making curriculum more rigorous and raising admission standards as methods of raising the quality of teacher education. High implementation of these recommendations was indicated. Little support was given to the recommendation that programs should be extended beyond four years. This report provides descriptions of the characteristics of the surveyed institutions and their programs, and a brief analysis of findings. Survey data is presented in tabular format and a copy of the questionnaire is included.

AN - 63426712; ED236247 AB - Between 1976 and 1982, teenagers improved their performance on citizenship/social studies items measuring political knowledge and attitudes--13-year-olds by nearly three percentage points and 17-year-olds by about two percentage points. Results for the various population groups indicated that improvements tended to be greater for lower achieving and disadvantaged students than for groups typically considered more advantaged. When results were analyzed by different areas of political knowledge and attitudes, gains were most apparent on categories dealing with knowledge about government and the political process, while categories concerned largely with attitudes typically showed little change over the 6-year period spanned by the assessments. It is interesting to note that males and females performed about equally well on political knowledge and attitude items, with the exception of a sizable female advantage on items measuring respect for the rights of others. Blacks and disadvantaged-urban students were typically farthest below the nation on items dealing with knowledge about the structure and function of government and closest to national levels on items concerning respect for the rights of others.

Younger students were more avid viewers than older ones. Half the 9-year olds watched over 3 hours of television daily; most 13-year-olds watched one to two or three to four hours daily; among 17-year-olds, 38 percent watched less than an hour a day. Television has a differential relationship to reading achievement at different ages. Over 4 hours of daily watching proved detrimental at all ages. Highest reading performance was typically associated with one to two hours of spare time reading and three to four hours of television for 9-year-olds, one to two hours of television for 13-year-olds and under an hour of television for 17-year-olds. For 13-year-olds, one to two hours of television and one to two hours of homework a day were associated with highest levels of reading performance. Only for 17-year-olds did television have a direct negative relationship to reading performance. Spare time reading and television do not appear to compete for students' time; television and homework may compete for some students' time.

AN - 63429424; ED236250 AB - The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the analysis of data collected by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). In simplest terms, the analysis can be characterized as establishing baseline estimates of the percentages of young Americans possessing certain skills, knowledge, understandings, and attitudes and producing estimates of changes in these percentages over time. The baseline estimates permit comparisons of various subgroups. This paper begins with brief descriptions of key activities. The first sections generally describe the methods used to develop objectives and exercises, select the assessment sample, prepare material for the administration of an assessment, administer the booklets, and score the items. The later sections contain discussions about the NAEP analysis including computations used and potential secondary analyses. Appendices cover a variety of topics including adjustment procedures used in the analysis such as balancing and weight smoothing, methods for equating scores across booklets, and an approach for studying response patterns and bias.

AN - 63426434; ED236248 AB - Three aspects of the match between education and the demands of our changing economic situation are examined. First, the skills students will need for the future are identified. These skills included competencies in reading, writing, speaking and listening, mathematics, science, reasoning, basic employment, economics, and computer literacy. Second, current levels of achievement with respect to these skills are explored. The data are drawn from the results of the National Assessment of Educational Progres (NAEP) in reading, mathematics, science, writing, literature, and consumer competencies. The overall NAEP findings were not particularly encouraging, especially for 17-year-olds. This paper concludes by making suggestions for correcting this mismatch between current achievement levels and necessary skills. It is recommended that educators first examine the lists of skills needed, determine which are appropriate for individual states or communities, and sort through those skills with business and industry leaders and parents. Then these groups should act in concert to remedy the problems they face. Primary type of information provided by report: Procedures (Analysis). (BW) AU - Anderson, Beverly L. AU - Ward, Barbara J.

AN - 63442608; ED233965 AB - A series of exercises developed and used by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) focusing on citizenship and social studies objectives is provided. Every year since 1969, NAEP has gathered information about levels of educational attainments of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds and young adults (26-35) across the nation. Ten learning areas are assessed: art, career and occupational development, citizenship, literature, mathematics, music, reading, science, social studies, and writing. Measurement instruments are constructed from objectives devised by educators, scholars, and lay persons. This document primarily contains assessment instruments (released exercises) of NAEP's third citizenship/social studies assessment (1981-1982). Part 1 briefly explains NAEP's assessment procedures and describes the documentation provided for the various kinds of exercises in the set. Part 2 provides rationales for the questions assessing experience in political discussions and training reference resources, and part 3 discusses the taxonomic and content classifications used to develop and report on cognitive exercises. The remainder of the document contains the entire set of the experience exercises and about one-fourth of the cognitive exercises. The remainder of the cognitive exercises have not been released because they will be administered in the future.

Exercises were administered to 9-year-olds, 13-year-olds, and 17-year-olds. Some exercises were administered to only one age group, others to two or more age groups. The set is divided into two parts: text and appendices. Part 1 of the text briefly explains NAEP's assessment procedures and describes the documentation provided for the various kinds of exercises in the set. Part 2 describes rationales behind the development of attitudinal and experience questions. Part 3 describes the taxonomic and content classifications used to develop and report on cognitive exercises for the assessment. (Only about one-fourth of these exercises have been released since NAEP will readminister the others in the future to determine whether the performance level of young Americans has changed.) The remainder of the set consists of copies of the released exercises and documentation for each exercise. Documentation includes reference numbers, content/process objectives, timing/administration data for each group, and sorting guides for open-ended items. Attitudinal and experience exercises make up appendix A, followed by cognitive exercises in appendix B, and data for cognitive exercises in appendix C.

National Center for Education Statistics: Early Release. AN - 63516954; ED228436 AB - Enrollment in noncollegiate postsecondary schools with occupational programs was 1.9 million in 1982, approximately the same level as in 1980, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). This finding is from the sixth biennial NCES survey of 7,603 noncollegiate postsecondary schools with occupational programs. Overall, 9,208 postsecondary schools offered occupational training programs in 1982 (7,603 noncollegiate). Nearly 25 percent of the schools were classified as cosmetology/barber schools, 14 percent were business/commercial schools, and 11 percent were community/junior colleges. More than 65 percent of the schools were proprietary, and another 14 percent were independent nonprofit institutions. Only 20 percent were public (mostly colleges and universities). California had both the highest number of schools (1,043) and the largest number of students in occupational programs (248,000). Other states with large numbers of students were New York, Michigan, Florida, and Pennsylvania. The majority of students were full-time, with slightly more than half being women. Almost 65 percent of all schools were either accredited or eligible for federal student grant or loan programs. (Five tables are included in this early release.)

In the 1976-77 survey, 7,922 graduates responded from 283 institutions; in 1979-80, 9,312 graduates responded from 286 institutions. Three major findings stood out in the comparison. First, between 1976-77 and 1979-80, the number of newly qualified to teach (bachelor's recipients) dropped by about 39,000 or 23 percent. Second, the proportions of bachelor's recipients obtaining teaching jobs in both years were not significantly different, 77 percent for 1979-80, and 75 percent for 1976-77. Third, bachelor's recipients newly qualified to teach in 1976-77 and 1979-80 fared better on labor market measures than did any other bachelor's recipients as a group, whether they taught or not. Nine tables display report data. (JMK) AU - Crane, Jane L.

The results show a leveling off of the performance of American 17-year-olds, who had shown a decline between 1978 and 1982; 9-year-olds' performance has changed little from assessment to assessment. These findings are described and interpreted by a panel of mathematics educators. Besides discussing the overall results, the authors examine findings in the following categories: knowledge, skills and concepts; problem solving, applications and attitudes toward mathematics; computers and technology; minorities and mathematics; and sex differences in achievement. Findings are presented for different kinds of test items--those assessing knowledge, skills, understanding, and application--and for different subpopulations: Blacks; Hispanics; students in heavily minority schools, students in different achievement categories, males, females and students in advantaged-urban, disadvantaged-urban and rural schools. The report contains an executive summary and, in the appendixes, some discussion of other test results and other information about mathematics education, mathematics course taking, and steps being taken across the country to improve science and mathematics education.

AN - 63419272; ED240064 AB - During the past 10 years, the patterns of degree awards in education have departed from the general trends in degree awards from higher education institutions. A decline in the number of bachelor's degrees, accompanied by continuing increases (then a decline) at the master's level, may reflect several factors: shifts in the supply and demand for teachers; higher salaries paid to teachers with graduate degrees; a shift of the preferred teacher credentials from the bachelor's to the master's level; or combinations of these factors. The large increase in doctoral degrees earned during this period suggests considerable change in emphasis within the discipline. This paper presents a profile of the discipline, as it is reflected in degree awards, and the institutions which confer them. The profile places education in the larger context of higher education disciplines, and, within the discipline, it identifies change, stability, and current status. Data are summarized on earned degrees from a variety of perspectives, and trend information is assembled on awards by level, recipients, specialties, and institutions. While not describing the entire active profession of educational researchers, a primary source of new entrants to the discipline is considered, and the environment within which much educational research is conducted is described.

Fast Response Survey System, Early Release. AN - 63412157; ED238097 AB - Results of this survey indicate that three important ways to improve high school student achievement are to increase daily attendance, improve study skills, and increase required courses. Two-thirds of the school district administrators responding rated increasing attendance as highly important. Almost half strongly favored increasing required core subject and study skill courses. Other highly rated alternatives among the eight listed were raising graduation requirements and expanding inservice teacher training. During the past 3 years (1979-82), nine out of ten districts reported implementing one or more activities to bolster achievement. Although urban, suburban, and rural districts are similar in their graduation requirements, urban districts tend to emphasize minimum competency tests and homework assignments more than rural districts. Minimum competency tests and scores from the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and American College Testing (ACT) Program revealed no consistent pattern of positive relationships between requirements and achievement. Questionnaires mailed to a national probability sample of 571 school districts representing 11,370 school districts with high schools yielded a 93 percent response rate. Six tables of statistical findings and a reproduction of the survey questionnaire are included.

It comprises three major chapters. The first chapter reviews the social and environmental changes that demand reconsideration of NAEP. The new design was formulated to address concerns focusing on performance standards, school effectiveness questions, and broad human resource issues, thereby improving NAEP's relevance to educational policy and practice. The second chapter discusses technical innovations now possible with proven modern techniques that greatly enhance the power and value of the collected data. Sampling by grade as well as by age permits estimates of performance and trends to be reported by both age and grade, thereby allowing direct links to state and local assessments, school practices, and educational policies. The third chapter illustrates ways the new design addresses multiple policy questions, communication with multiple audiences in an effective fashion, linkages to other data sources, enhancement and extension of NAEP services, and engagement of the public on the important educational issue of performance standards.

This amendment, which was part of the Fiscal Year 1983 Defense Authorization Act, provides that, beginning with the 1983-1984 award year, any student who must register with the Selective Service and fails to do so is ineligible for student financial assistance under programs established by Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965. A student who is required to register must file a statement with the college he attends, certifying that he is in compliance with the registration requirements. To minimize the burden on college staff to determine whether a student is exempt from registration, it is proposed that all Title IV aid recipients submit to the college the Statement of Educational Purpose/Registration Compliance, as well as a copy of his Registration Acknowledgement Letter provided by the Selective Service System. A temporary verification alternative is permitted for students who have registered but do not yet have documentation from Selective Service.

AN - 63516971; ED226183 AB - Students enrolled in noncollegiate postsecondary schools with occupational programs were surveyed regarding demographic characteristics, selection of programs and schools, and student activities and future plans. Almost 86 percent were under age 35, with the heaviest concentration aged 20 to 24. Almost 59 percent were women; 67 percent were white. The largest percentage (61 percent) had completed high school just prior to entering the current program; approximately 27 percent had completed another vocational training program or had attended college. Students' parents generally had completed a high school education or less and were in the blue collar, clerical or sales fields. Most students selected the program in which they were enrolled because they had always wanted to enter that field, and most selected schools primarily because of the school's reputation and placement capabilities. Almost 70 percent spent 20 to 37 hours per week in the classroom; 76 percent spent less than 10 hours per week studying. Less than one-half of the students were working. Of those who worked, approximately one-third worked fulltime. Sixty percent indicated they would continue their education; 50 percent said they would continue within the same field. Approximately 84 percent indicated they would seek employment in the field in which they were studying.

The five states reporting the largest decreases in enrollment (New York, California, Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio) accounted for approximately 45 percent of the total national decline. Nine states reported enrollment increases ranging from 0.6 percent (Idaho) to 5 percent (Alaska). A total of more than 40 million students were enrolled nationwide as of October 1, 1981, with over 27 million in prekindergarten to 8th grade and nearly 13 million in grades 9 to 12. The national decline was greater in secondary schools (3.3 percent) than in elementary schools (1.4 percent). Over half of this brief release is composed of tables, including student membership by level of instruction and by state or area for 1980 and 1981 and student membership by grade and by state or area in fall 1981.

National Center for Education Statistics Bulletin. AN - 63520266; ED226662 AB - Data on financial aid applicants are presented, based on 1980 findings from High School and Beyond (HS&B), a national longitudinal study conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics. The information was obtained from parent responses to questions about the financing of education for their children, along with student questionnaire responses. Fifty-one percent of the 1980 high school seniors who aspired to continue their education (college, vocational, or technical postsecondary training) applied for student financial aid by the fall of that year. The rates of application varied as a function of student plans, inclinations, and aspirations; family wealth; family size; parent knowledge of financial aid programs; and expected schooling costs. Several of these factors appeared to have as significant a relationship with rates of application for aid as did family wealth. For example, the amount of parental knowledge about the Pell grant program was strongly related to differences in application rates. These differences were greater than those associated with family income or amount of savings for college. After controlling for family income, the factors showing the strongest relationship with application rates were parental knowledge, students' high school grades, and expected schooling costs.

AN - 63346956; ED256132 AB - This document describes the concepts and policies guiding the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) in programming for services in the school to work transition. Underlying assumptions address the complexity of post-school services, the focus on all students with disabilities, and the goal of employment as an important outcome of education. A conceptual framework of transition views three bridges from school to work: transition without special services, transition with time-limited services (such as vocational rehabilitation and postsecondary vocational education), and ongoing services that allow disabled persons to take advantage of work opportunities. Additional model components center on the high school and employment foundations. OSERS initiatives related to each component are noted along with several broader research and evaluation issues, such as the need for careful descriptions of current transition experiences.

A Study Submitted to the Thirteenth Session of the Alaska State Legislature. AN - 63290431; ED264848 AB - A 4-month study was conducted to determine the feasibility and desirability of computer networks for instruction and educational administration in Alaska. Five major activities were carried out to collect the necessary information: (1) interviews with representatives of other Alaska government agencies; (2) a survey of district office staff; (3) a survey of a large sample of Alaska educators; (4) a meeting with representatives from state agencies and local districts; and (5) a review of technical information. Technical information gathered suggests that the hardware and software necessary to implement computer networking in Alaska education are, for the most part, currently available. Also, surveys and discussion with Alaska educators suggest they believe the quality of education in their localities could be enhanced by improved communications resulting from computer networking efforts. However, many educators were reluctant to expend limited local resources for electronic communications simply to enhance the timeliness of the information being sent, and ranked networking activities as less critical than several other educational computer areas. It was concluded that the Department of Education should conduct activities to investigate implementation of educational networks, but that this should not preclude providing support in other areas of educational technology. Appendices include copies of technical materials from the 1982 and 1983 Annual Alaska Small Schools Conferences.

The purpose of the survey was to collect information on the costs for tuition, fees, and room and board for typical full-time undergraduate and graduate students at institutions of higher education in the United States. Data of this type had been collected in previous HEGIS surveys via the "Institutional Characteristics Survey." The universe consisted of 3,325 institutions. The response rate was 99.4%, with responses received from 3,247 institutions. Data for an additional 18 institutions were imputed, making a grand total of 3,265 institutional records on the file. Both in-state and out-of-state students from public and private colleges are included in the data. Institutional data are included (from the regular "Institutional Characteristics Survey") providing, for example, current enrollment, affiliation, type of control, race and sex ratios of student body, accreditation type, calendar system used, highest degree level offered, whether a two-year or four-year institution.

Results are for three learning areas commonly accepted as critical to the maintenance of our increasingly technological society. Data on performance have been analyzed using "achievement class" and modal grade -- a new departure for National Assessment. The report attempts to answer such questions as: Were the performance patterns different in these three areas? Were the patterns different for low achievers and for high achievers? Were the performance patterns different for students in their modal grades and students below modal grades? Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Technical) (Overview).

This paper extrapolates from the complete study those findings that have the most direct implications for education policy and decision makers. Overall, students in the lowest performance quartiles realized greater gains than did those in the highest performance quartiles. In the lowest quartile, black students in the modal grades appropriate for 9-, 13- and 17-year-olds increased in reading and mathematics performance, and fourth graders in the highest quartile also increased in reading and mathematics. Moreover, black eighth graders in the highest quartile increased in reading performance, too. Often, gains by blacks in the modal grades exceeded those by whites in the modal grades. Both white and black 17-year-olds in the 11th grade who performed in the highest quartiles suffered substanial losses in mathematics and science.

AN - 63501219; ED225973 AB - A study sought to determine if there is a relationship between certain types of school districts and demand for greater number of teachers in certain teaching specialties. These relationships were determined by using muliple regression, contingency table analysis, and cluster analysis methods with data from the 1979-80 Sample Survey of Teacher Demand and Shortages, the 1970 Census School District Fifth Count File, and other instruments. Findings revealed that teachers of cultural subjects and of gifted pupils were in greatest demand in affluent, highly educated communities composed of professional people with small families. These communities also demanded more science and mathematics teachers. Vocational education teachers were in demand in communities where poverty was relatively great, the district small and rural, education low, and government funding high. Tables present information on teacher demand based on teaching specialities variables: (1) culture and enrichment; (2) home economics, industrial arts, and business; (3) mathematics and science; (4) English language arts and social studies; (5) special education for handicapped; (6) health and physical education; (7) the nonspecial education problem learner; and (8) vocational education. Appendixes contain information on: school district cluster descriptions; factor formation (principal axis factor analysis, followed by varimax rotation, which was used to separate the variables into independent factors); and a listing of data sources.

Graphs and tables display language proficiency data for sophomores and seniors, language background data by ethnic origin, and family and educational background data by proficiency level. The survey addressed the following questions: language spoken as a child, language currently used at home, family background, relative proficiency in English and Spanish, academic achievement, educational aspirations, and amount of bilingual instruction received. Of the Hispanic students, 40 percent had an entirely English speaking background. Among the remaining 60 percent with a Spanish language background, the findings reveal that (1) Spanish is spoken in most of their homes, (2) they have a lower socioeconomic status than the other groups surveyed, (3) they rank lower on academic achievement and aspirations, (4) the majority of the students do not report themselves to be more proficient in Spanish than English, and (5) the Spanish-dominant students more often received bilingual instruction.

AN - 63487605; ED226062 AB - Reports of declining test scores and high school graduates who can't read or compute have triggered a public demand for higher standards in education. In light of this demand, National Assessment re-examined its role with respect to raising educational quality in this country. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) asked seven educators to answer questions about NAEP's appropirate role regarding standards. (1) To what extent is there a desire to establish and raise standards in the United States? (2) What is the nature of the desire? (3) How are standards of educational achievement raised beyond that of minimum proficiency? (4) What roles should NAEP play in developing or setting educational standards at the national, state, and local levels? (5) What process should NAEP use to assure that elements important to particular learning areas be included? (6) What ways of organizing/structuring objectives would help facilitate raising educational standards? Their responses, synthesized in this paper, shed light on the nature of the public's desire for standards and on steps various communities are taking and provide recommendations on the part that the National Assessment should play.

Wage Rates before and after Leaving School. NCES Bulletin. AN - 63502272; ED224438 AB - The relationship between starting wage rates and level of education attained by young adults was studied, based on findings of the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. According to 1972-1979 data, the greater the educational attainment of the young adults, the higher their starting wage rates. Although the wage rates of young women college graduates quickly caught up to and overtook those of their female high school classmates who did not attend college, the wage rates of young men who did not attend college remained higher than their college-educated classmates for at least 8 years after high school. However, within every educational level and age group, females earned less per hour than comparable males. While in school, young people worked for lower hourly pay than they could get were they not in school. The women studied showed a crossover point (when the wage rates of those with differing levels of educational attainment show only minimal differences) in wage rates in 1976, when most of them were 22 years old. In that year, the wage rate of women with no college was $4.27 per hour, of those with less than 2 years of college was $4.61 per hour, of those with 2 years of college or more or a two-year degree was $4.54, and of those with a bachelor's or advanced degree was $4.72 per hour. For men, the crossover point in earnings came in 1979, when most were 25 years old, when the median hourly wage rates of men were $7.06, $6.94, $6.50, and $6.88, respectively. Limitations of the data are considered.

Special Report. AN - 63501035; ED224420 AB - Data on college degrees awarded in the United States in 1979 are examined by racial/ethnic status of the recipients. Approximately 920,000 bachelor's degrees and over 400,000 postbaccalaureate degrees were awarded nationally. In 1979, 87.3 percent of bachelor's degrees went to white graduates, with the next largest portion (6.6 percent) going to blacks. Bachelor's degrees were awarded to 3,410 American Indians, 15,407 Asians, and 17,839 nonresident aliens. Although Hispanics accounted for 6.4 of the population, they accounted for only 2.2 percent of all bachelor's degrees. Business and management was among the top three degree fields for all groups, while education was the field most often chosen among blacks and American Indians. Engineering was the top choice of nonresident aliens, and social sciences ranked number three for each of the groups and for all groups combined. Of the 300,255 master's degrees awarded, 83 percent went to whites, and blacks and nonresident aliens each accounted for 6.5 percent. Education ranked first for all groups except Asians and nonresident aliens, and business and management was either first or second for all groups. Public affairs and services and engineering were also frequently selected. A total of 32,675 doctoral degrees were awarded, and 80 percent went to whites. The second largest number went to nonresident aliens. Three fields were among the top five for all groups: education, social sciences, and biological sciences. The field of physical sciences was among the top five for all groups except Hispanics. Lastly, 68,611 first-professional degrees were awarded, 91 percent to whites, and the next largest number to blacks. Law was by far the largest field, followed by medicine, theology, and dentistry.

AN - 63500832; ED223860 AB - Men dominated the teaching positions in five of nine vocational program areas during 1979-80: industrial-arts (96.6 percent of full time positions), agriculture (93.5 percent), technical (92.8 percent), trade and industrial (91.4 percent), and distribution (69.5 percent) according to a survey of 282,292 full time instructional staff analyzed through the Vocational Education Data System (VEDS). Women staff comprised majorities in consumer and homemaking (96.1 percent), occupational home economics (88.8 percent), health (82.7 percent), and office occupations (64 percent). For three of the four types of institutions studied (secondary, postsecondary, vocational technical institutes, and other postsecondary programs) staffs were overwhelmingly male in traditionally male fields and overwhelmingly female in fields traditionally considered to be for females. Only in higher education were these patterns broken, showing more balanced distribution. Estimates of data on racial/ethnic characteristics indicate that about 11 percent of the full time instructors in vocational education programs were minorities with 8.8 percent black, 1.5 percent Hispanic, 0.8 percent Asian or Pacific Islanders, and 0.3 percent American Indians/Alaskan Natives. Minority instructors were concentrated in occupational home economics, office occupations, industrial arts, and consumer and homemaking programs; few taught in technical and distributive education. Minority groups, however, varied according to program areas and types of institutions.

A brief narrative overview on the institutions and degrees is also presented. It is noted that the geographical distribution of the institutions is uneven: 10 of mainland China's 29 provinces, autonomous regions, and special municipalities do not have doctoral degree-granting institutions, and 40 of the 111 doctoral institutions are clustered in three metropolitan areas. Information is included on "key" institutions, or those that are eligible for preferential funding, staff selection, and student recruitment. The number of different fields of specialization in which doctoral programs are offered is about 260. The nature of the specializations in which the degree is offered is concentrated most heavily in technological and applied science fields, with a sizable number also in the pure physical and natural sciences. Only about 10% of the doctoral specializations are in the social sciences, and a slightly smaller number are in the the areas of the arts and humanities. (SW) AU - Barendsen, Robert D.

Final Report. AN - 63494373; ED230623 AB - In an attempt to increase the usefulness of future National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) findings, yet retain the usefulness of past assessments, a framework for the conduct of assessments is presented. This framework is supported by agreement on three major goals, by overall methods for reaching those goals, and by firm concepts of how these goals and methods affect the interrelated phases of assessment work. The three most basic purposes that NAEP should serve over the next five years are: (1) NAEP should provide the basis for a highly credible and useful national report card, (2) NAEP should improve the utility of assessment results for educational policymakers and practitioners, and (3) NAEP should improve the utility of assessment methodology to states and local education agencies. A discussion, on a conceptual level, indicates how the Educational Commission of the States believes NAEP should gather, process, and transmit information and how electronic technology can support these efforts. Generally excluded from this overview of assessment design are the yet to come detailed descriptions of specific assessment activities.

AN - 63501269; ED224296 AB - Characteristics and reading performance of students who have a dominant language other than English are examined and compared with those of English-dominant students, based on the results 1979-1980 National Assessment of Educational Progress (reading and literature). Responses were obtained from 9-year-olds, 13-year-olds, and 17-year-olds. The exercises probed students' comprehension of simple words as well as such complex features of text as mood, tone, and character. It was found that students from homes in which a language other than English was often spoken (OL) generally performed below students for whom English was the dominant language (EL) In general, OL students attending advantaged-urban and private schools, those coming from homes with many reading resources, and (except at age 9) those who have a parent with post-high school education performed near, at, or above national levels. OL students attending disadvantaged-urban schools, those coming from homes with few reading resources, and those whose parents had not completed high school performed considerably below their more advantaged peers. While OL 17-year-olds performed about a percentage point below the nation and 5 percentage points below white students for whom English was the dominant language, black OL 17-year-olds performed 26 points below the nation and 14 points below black EL students. In addition, Hispanic OL 17-year-olds performed 9 percentage points below the nation, just as Hispanic EL students do. Findings are also considered in relation to region of the country, type and size of community, four achievement ranges, kindergarten attendance, television watching, time spent on homework, and reading, sex, and race/ethnicity.

Responses from Six Educators. AN - 63495267; ED222550 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is an ongoing effort to obtain comprehensive and dependable data on national educational achievement. Reports and related assessment materials, such as assessment objectives and items used to measure achievement, have been developed to meet the needs and interests of educators. Several educators described their experiences using NAEP information to improve the learner's education experience. The NAEP model was used in the Kamehameha Schools of Hawaii for program evaluation. At Montana State University, National Assessment test items were used to survey knowledge, skills, and attitudes. NAEP sampling and data gathering procedures were adapted to surveys for use in doctoral research. Studies of science learning and science-related studies were incorporated in research training programs on higher education at Kansas State University. The Cheyenne Mountain School District used NAEP statistics for comparison between their students and an advantaged-urban group. NAEP demonstrated its capability of working with local school districts. The utilization of National Assessment materials in the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District is described. Test items and statistical data were used as a resource for evaluating and updating curriculum, instructional materials, and teaching in the Whitefish Bay High School. Primary type of information provided by the report: Procedures (Utilization) (Conceptual); Results (Utilization).

No. AY-AA-51. AN - 63494725; ED230603 AB - The changing achievement relationships among students, from elementary through high school, were investigated between their ages relative to their classmates and their ages at entry into first grade. A secondary analysis was performed on the data collected by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The sample involved Caucasian students in grades four, eight and eleven (ages 9, 13 and 17 respectively). The achievement data included mathematics, science and reading. The predictor variables were relative age, class age, sex, parental education, home environment, and type of community. Relative age described a student's age relative to the other students in the classroom, while class age was a control for states with different school entrance cutoff dates. The predictor variables were entered in a stepwise multiple regression analysis, with class age and relative age entered first. The combined achievement data indicate that the significantly higher achievement found among the oldest students at age nine decreases but remains significant at age thirteen, and disappears by age seventeen. A second analysis of the proportion of students retained one grade revealed significantly increasing proportions of retained students as relative age becomes younger.

Results showed that although Hispanic students' reading performance remained below the national level, these students had made some significant gains in reading from 1974 to 1980. Moreover, the performance gains among Hispanic children at age 9, and among several groups of Hispanic students at ages 13 and 17 exceeded those of students nationally in certain areas. Specifically (1) the performance of 9-year-old Hispanos improved 5.3% compared to a 2.6% improvement for all 9-year-old students surveyed; (2) this improvement was greatest on exercises assessing literal comprehension; (3) 13-year-old Hispanos' performance stayed about the same between 1974 and 1980, but 13-year-old Hispanos in large cities improved their performance on literal comprehension exercises by 5.9 points; (4) 17-year-old Hispanos' performance also stayed about the same between assessments, with large city students again showing an improvement, primarily on exercises assessing inferential comprehension; and (5) at all three ages, Hispanos in the modal grade performed better than those below modal grade and improved their performance at a faster rate.

These 21,000 private schools enrolled more than 5 million students or nearly 11 percent of the total U.S. elementary and secondary enrollment. This bulletin indicates how these private schools and private school enrollments vary among the states and how the enrollment in sectarian and nonsectarian private schools is distributed among the various states.

Final Report. AN - 63473138; ED223650 AB - To facilitate the secondary analysis of citizenship and social studies data collected by the National Assessment for Educational Progress, this project constructed a set of three consolidated data archives and provided a simplified documentation system for users. The three consolidated files produced were (1) the 1971-72 Social Studies Assessment, (2) the 1975-76 Citizenship and Social Studies Assessments, and (3) two cohort files for 9-13-year-olds and for 13-17-year-olds. The project also explored the feasibility of constructing indices and scales that would bridge across packages and age groups, but the distribution of the items was too thin to allow the use of a factor analysis methodology for the identification of comparable items.

Early Release. AN - 63578039; ED217807 AB - Data on faculty salaries for the academic year 1981-1982 are presented with narrative explanations, based on findings of the Higher Education General Information Survey of Salaries, Tenure, and Fringe Benefits of Full-time Instructional Faculty. Of 3,253 institutions surveyed, 2,350 responded. Statistical tables include the following: percent change in salary levels and numbers of full-time instructional faculty on 9-month contracts by type of institution, faculty rank, and sex for the 50 states and the District of Columbia; number and average salaries of full-time instructional faculty by academic rank of faculty member and by region, state, or other area; percent of tenured full-time instructional faculty and percent change from 1980-1981 to 1981-1982, by type of institution and level of institutional unit, rank, and sex; women as percent of total full-time instructional faculty by academic rank and control and level of institutional unit; average fringe benefit expenditures for full-time instructional faculty by academic rank, type of institution, and benefit plan; and number and percent of institutional units of higher education responding to the survey by control, level, and enrollment size, 1981-1982. It was found that faculty salaries in the United States rose 9.2 percent for the academic year 1981-1982 over the previous year. The average salary increase was slightly higher for private institutions (9.8 percent versus 8.9 percent for public institutions). The greatest percentage increase occurred at private universities (10.5 percent), while the smallest came at public other four-year colleges (8.6 percent). The number of full-time instructional faculty in 1981-1982 remained near the 1980-1981 levels for both public and private institutions, and women represented 27.5 percent of the total in 1981-1982.

An introductory section explains that the data came from local education agencies (LEAs) and were aggregated at the state level. This section also discusses the relationship of LEAs' current expenditures to capital outlays and to expenditures made for LEAs by other agencies. Definitions of the variables are presented in a glossary. Among the data for 1979-80 included in the tables are the number of elementary, middle, secondary, vocational-technical, and other schools; average daily attendance and number of pupils transported daily; number of teachers, administrators, and other employees; pupil-teacher ratio; revenues from local, state, and federal sources; expenditures by LEAs and other agencies, broken down by type of expenses; and expenditures and revenue per pupil. For 18 of the variables, data are given for both 1978-79 and 1979-80, and each variable's 1979-80 national percentile ranking is shown on a graph. (RW) AU - Nehrt, Roy C.

AN - 63478005; ED223658 AB - National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) results indicate that most students understand the fundamentals of reading, writing and mathematics; and that achievement levels have remained stable across time for older students and may be improving for younger students, particularly in the areas of reading and writing. However, NAEP data suggest that curriculum still emphasizes instruction in component skills apart and separate from the application of these skills. Many students evidence difficulty with tasks requiring higher-order skills. Gains evidenced by younger students in groups traditionally considered disadvantaged are being accompanied by declines in groups usually considered advantaged. In particular, the older and better students do not appear to be keeping up with their counterparts in earlier assessments. In many instances, differences in performance may be decreasing, but overall performance is not improving. We may be attaining more equality in educational achievement in reading, writing and mathematics, but it appears to be at the expense of declining excellence.

Volume I: Analytical Report. AN - 63470418; ED222996 AB - In 5 chapters, 3 tables, and 43 figures, the authors describe national educational trends from 1970 to 1980 and project trends to 1990-91. This edition of "Projections" is the first one to be published in two volumes, to include a separate chapter on the demographics underlying the projections, and to omit projections of degrees by field of study. The report covers enrollments at all educational levels, numbers of high school graduates and earners of higher education degrees, numbers of instructional staff, and educational expenditures at all levels. All enrollment data are shown by organizational level and public or private control. Higher education enrollment data are controlled for the additional variables of student age, sex, and attendance status, two- or four-year program, and undergraduate or graduate level. Projections of teacher supply and demand are shown for full- or part-time status, academic rank, school educational level, and public or private control. The authors predict decreases through 1991 in high school graduates and, in higher education, in enrollment, instructional staff, total expenditures, and bachelor's degrees granted. Increases are expected in enrollment, teachers, and expenditures in all elementary and secondary schools. The financial data cover total expenditures, teacher salaries, capital outlays, and interest payments, in current (1980-81) dollars. The appendices contain a general description of the major forecasting techniques, constant dollar indexes from 1970-71 to 1980-81, and a glossary. (MLF) AU - Frankel, Martin M. AU - Gerald, Debra E.

AN - 63568589; ED216050 AB - National Assessment of Educational Progress data in reading, mathematics, and science for Caucasian children were analyzed. Using regression analysis for three age groups, nine, thirteen, and seventeen year olds, a trend analysis was plotted. The changing achievement relationships between these students relative to their classmates and their age of entry into first grade were studied. The data indicated superior performance for classes with an older combined mean age. The age of entry into first grade proved to be a critical factor in achievement levels. The authors suggest changing entrance cutoff dates from December, January, or February to September, October or November. Since achievement varies between boys and girls, separate cutoff dates were proposed. Clinical screening of students is recommended for critical male and female groups. Teachers' awareness of high risk ages might lead to multi-level instruction. Inadequate readiness is a potentially serious threat to a child's academic career. However, children whose entrance is delayed, although they might have been able to cope, may cause problems as restless high school seniors.

AN - 63468248; ED222554 AB - An approach was developed based on item-response models defined at the level of salient subject groups rather than at the level of individuals, designed for use with multiple-matrix sampling designs. In each of three National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) mathematics subtopics, Reiser's group-effects latent trait model was fitted to the proportions of correct response to items as observed in the cells of a design. Item parameters and contrasts among demographic groups were estimated in each of four data sets: 1972-73 and 1977-78 data for 13-year-olds and 17-year-olds. Based on items common to two or more data sets, results were linked across ages and over time in each subtopic. Item parameters and group averages were obtained on scales common across ages and years. Successful calibration and linking in all subtopics demonstrates the feasibility of applying item-response methods to sparse sampling designs. However, scaling must be accomplished within fairly narrowly-defined skill areas, such as the NAEP subtopics, if the integrity of scales is to be maintained. Item response scaling of NAEP test booklets as a whole is discouraged. Primary type of information provided by the report: Results (Secondary Analysis). (Author/CM) AU - Mislevy, Robert J.

VEDS statistics were to be collected in the form of state-aggregate data (that is, state-level data is submitted by each state, based upon records and data collected by the state for this and other purposes); and VEDS data, which cover only that portion of the vocational education enterprise which is covered by state plans under the Vocational Education Act (about 90 percent of vocational education students). Data contained in the VEDS database are the following: (1) the results of mandated state evaluations of the extent to which program completers and leavers find employment in occupations related to their training and are considered by their employers to be well trained and prepared: (2) data on vocational students, including race and sex; (3) programs; (4) program completers and leavers: (5) staff; (6) facilities; and (7) expenditures. The system was installed for the school year 1978-79, and has continued on an annual basis since that time. At present, data through 1980 are available for access by educators and researchers.

Three of these methods involve the application of human judgment in scoring or rating a piece of writing: holistic, analytical, and primary trait scoring. Two methods involve anatomical or taxonomic analysis of a piece of writing: computer analysis and syntactic analysis. The final method involves the use of objective (usually multiple-choice) tests of writing-related skills. The research on relationships among the various measures of writing skills admits of relatively few well-established generalizations. Relationships among some pairs of measures have been well researched, while relationships among other pairs of measures have been virtually untouched by empirical studies.

AN - 63473001; ED222904 AB - The 1982 writing objectives presented in this booklet were developed in preparation for the fourth assessment of writing conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The objectives are based on the premise that individuals write for a purpose and an audience, and each objective serves as a section of the booklet. The first objective/section discusses the ways that students may undertake personal kinds of writing as a way of improving thinking skills and of learning both subject knowledge and knowledge about themselves. The second objective/section deals with the types of writing students are more likely to do in school or social settings and presents three primary purposes for public writing: informative, persuasive, and literary. The third objective/section reflects a change in focus in writing education from product to process, while the fourth discusses control of such skills as organizing, elaborating, and appropriately using the conventions of writing (usage and mechanics). The fifth objective/section underscores the importance of students' learning why writing is a valuable personal and social activity. The final section is an effort to enhance the utility of the writing objectives by sharing some ideas and suggestions for teaching that have proven useful to others. Appendixes include an outline of the objectives and a listing of the consultants who participated in the development and review process of the objectives.

The paper presents the results of a series of exploratory secondary analyses of one age 13 exercise booklet in order to investigate the relationship between reading-related background variables (such as time spent reading, watching television, and doing homework; frequency and type of reading in spare time; language usage in the home; and amount of reading material in the home) and comprehension achievement. In addition, the paper describes how the analyses were conducted using the public-use data tapes produced by NAEP and discusses problems in using NAEP data. Appendixes contain actual programs used to generate the analyses and excerpts from the computer output. Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Secondary Analyses) (Interpretation).

It also describes changes in procedures between the first NAEP music assessment conducted in 1971-72 and the 1978-79 assessment. Each assessment surveyed the music achievement and attitudes of American 9-, 13- and 17-year-olds, using a deeply stratified, multistage probability sample design. The purpose of the handbook is to provide detailed procedural information for people interested in replicating the assessment or in need of more information than is provided in the reports containing assessment data. The eight chapters cover objectives redevelopment, exercise creation, preparation of assessment booklets, sampling, data collection, scoring, data analysis, and reporting. Each chapter explains the basic procedures used for the 1978-79 assessment and contrasts these procedures to those used in earlier years if there were changes. Appendices, which comprise over half of the handbook, contain materials covering definitions of reporting groups, forms used to gather background information about students and schools, response rates, computation of achievement measures and procedures for smoothing respondent weights. A glossary of NAEP terms is provided at the end of the book. Primary type of information provided by report: Procedures (Overview).

AN - 63478940; ED223140 AB - Findings are presented from the National Center for Education Statistics' 1978 Recent College Graduates Survey, which estimates the number of recent graduates and the February 1978 employment and salary status of individuals who received bachelor's degrees from July 1, 1976, to June 30, 1977. A nationally representative sample of 297 institutions was selected, and 11,729 graduates were sampled. Data are presented by major field on the percent of graduates employed full-time, their unemployment rate, the percent underemployed, and their average annual salaries. The statistics are presented separately for men and women graduates and for those who are enrolled for an advanced degree. Twenty-eight relatively specific major fields and 11 more general major fields are covered, along with majors in professional fields, arts and sciences, and other fields. Of the approximately 930,000 persons who received bachelor's degrees in the 1976-1977 academic year, an estimated 68 percent were employed full-time; but the unemployment rate was 5.8 percent, and 24 percent of those employed full-time were underemployed. The average annual salary for those employed full-time was about $11,500. Bachelor's recipients who majored in professional fields fared better than bachelor's recipients who majored in the arts and sciences. However, arts and sciences graduates were much more likely than graduates in professional fields to be enrolled for an advanced degree, which discourages working full-time. Graduates in business and management had the highest percentage of full-time employment (83 percent) and graduates in public affairs and social services had the lowest percentage (68 percent).

AN - 63473718; ED221124 AB - A profile is presented of the social and economic characteristics of black students, 16 years old and over, enrolled in college or a noncollegiate postsecondary institution, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 1976 Survey of Income and Education. After a reviewing of characteristics of the black population in the United States in the mid-1970s, the characteristics of black college students and students in noncollegiate postsecondary schools (including adult basic education, Comprehensive Employment and Training Act programs, and vocational schools) are discussed, with attention directed to financially dependent and independent students. Postsecondary enrollment is also analyzed in relation to family size and the number of students enrolled per family. Findings include the following: in spring 1976, 1,233,000 blacks were enrolled in college; for the 18-24-year-old group, black high school graduates had lower college enrollment rates than all high school graduates; about 46 percent of black college students were 25 years old or over; 3.5 times as many black students who were dependent on parental support, and almost twice as many black independent students, lived in households below the poverty level compared to all students; a fifth of black dependent college students lived in families with incomes over $20,000; approximately two-thirds of all black noncollegiate students had not completed high school; a fourth of black dependent postsecondary students came from families whose head had 1 year or more of college; and similar proportions of black independent and all independent noncollegiate students worked.

AN - 61810577; ED212538 AB - This report presents and compares the results of the first and second art assessments conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in 1974-75 and 1978-79. The achievement and attitudes of approximately 7,500 9-year-olds, 11,000 13-year-olds, and 13,500 17-year-olds were surveyed. The report consists of an introduction to the studies and six chapters. Major findings are discussed and survey information about the amount and kind of art experiences young Americans are having in and out of school is presented. The extent to which and the ways in which students value art are examined along with knowledge about art history and styles. How young people perceive, describe, analyze, and judge art is also investigated in detail. Results of a series of exercises requiring design and drawing skills are presented in a final chapter. Encouraging findings include the following. Nine-year olds' performance on the second assessment stayed much the same as it was in the first assessment. Museum visitation has increased for 9- and 13-year olds. Nineteen percent of the 17-year-olds and 15% of the 13-year-olds succeeded in putting expressive content into their drawings of angry people. There were also findings which were troublesome. Some examples include the following. Thirteen-year-olds declined 2.2 percentage points between assessments. Seventeen-year-olds declined 1.9 points between assessments. In general, tolerance for nonconventional art decreased considerably between 1974 and 1979. Appendix material includes art objectives and scoring guides for the drawing exercises. Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Selective) (Change).

AN - 63557974; ED215641 AB - Data collected by the National Center for Education Statistics on the survey instrument "Degrees and Other Formal Awards Conferred," as part of the annual Higher Education General Information Survey are presented. The period covered by the report, 1971 through 1980, was one of considerable change for higher education. Enrollments increased to record levels, and as a result, so did the numbers of degrees awarded. The numbers of bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees have leveled off or declined in recent years, but the number of first-professional degrees has not yet reached a peak. All data are for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. In some charts, degree awards are listed by instructional field. The report consists of tables with four narrative sections: (1) numbers of degrees awarded by level; (2) the proportion of men and women receiving degrees at each level; (3) comparison of numbers of degrees awarded by institutional control; and (4) changes in degrees awarded by discipline division for the ten-year period. An appendix outlines the differences in instructional classifications used in 1971 and 1981. (MSE) AU - Baker, Curtis O.

AN - 63555411; ED210226 AB - The report presents data from two national assessments--1971-72 and 1978-79--of the attitudes, knowledge, and understandings of American students about music. In each assessment, 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds were administered exercises designed to measure some of their cognitive abilities and attitudes about music and some of their experiences with music. Some exercises from the first assessment were readministered in the second assessment so that changes in music achievement could be detected. Also, data were gathered on the music training background of students. Achievement results are presented for national populations of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds as well as for subpopulations defined by region of the country, sex, race/ethnicity, parental education, type of community, and grade level. Some major findings from the report include the following. About three-fourths of the students at each age appear to have positive feelings about music and appear able to make simple judgments about it. Many students have some knowledge of the elements and expressive controls of music--52% of the 9-year-olds, 61% of the 13-year-olds, and 57% of the 17-year-olds. Knowledge about music history and style is less widespread--58% for 9-year-olds, 36% for 13-year-olds, and 39% for 17-year-olds. Fewer 9- and 17-year-olds were successful in answering their respective exercises in the two assessments. The decline between assessments for the 9-year-olds was 3.3%; for the 17-year-olds it was 2.5%. The percentage of 13-year-olds able to respond correctly to the music exercises was about 41% in both assessments. Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Selective) (Change).

AN - 63562666; ED209641 AB - The results of the 1979-80 reading and literature assessment conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) are contained in this report. In addition to the national results, the report describes the performance of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old students in various cohorts defined by geographic region, sex, race/ethnicity, parental education, and size and type of community. The primary focus of the report is upon the written responses of students to works of literature when they were asked to analyze them, defend their initial reactions to the works, evaluate works, or simply respond to them in any way they deemed appropriate. In addition, the report provides information about the students' reading habits and attitudes, as well as their knowledge of literary works, characters, and conventions. The findings presented in the report indicate (1) that most students lacked systematic strategies for examining what they read in order to understand it fully, and (2) that although students could make sound initial responses to works, they did not appear to know how to support or explain their responses in any but the most superficial ways. The report discusses the implications of the findings and suggests that school administrators and teachers take a variety of steps to address the problems raised by them.

Objectives were to: create an awareness of the unique characteristics, education needs, and barriers preventing full access to quality education for migrant secondary students; identify promising approaches to creating effective interstate secondary education programs for migrant secondary students; and develop alternative policy statements that can be used by decision makers as a foundation for creating secondary education opportunities, including interstate/district credit accrual-exchange opportunities for migrant students. Representing 28 states, the more than 197 participants included Chief State School Officers, state migrant education personnel, state and local board members and superintendents, principals, and migrant program staff. The participants collectively developed nine resolutions pertaining to: graduation requirements; state efforts in identification, recruitment, enrollment and provision of educational services; state and nationwide dissemination of information on secondary programs; implementation of appropriate testing schedules; communication of high school credit requirements; parental involvement in educational process; state commitment of resources; interagency cooperation; and coordination of state and local resources.

Data on baccalaureate and higher degrees are presented by discipline division and specialty, institutional control and level, sex of recipient, state, and for 10 selected professions. Trends in degrees awarded during 1976-80 are also indicated. Type of control of institutions is identified as either "public" or "private," and schools are classified as "universities" or "other four-year institutions." Summary tables and a narrative description of the findings, along with detailed tables, are presented. Among the findings are the following: the total number of bachelor's and higher degrees conferred reached 1,342,504 in 1979-80, a slight increase over the previous year's total; women registered gains at all degree levels except master's during the 1979-80 academic year, with the most significant increases occurring at the first-professional and doctor's levels (up eight percent and five percent respectively); the number of men receiving degrees declined at all levels except first-professional; business and management, education and social sciences disciplines offered the largest number of degrees at the bachelor's level in 1978-79 to 1979-80; the three largest disciplines at the master's level during this same period were education, business and management, and public affairs and services; and the largest discipline areas at the doctoral level were education, biological sciences, social sciences, and physical sciences. Total degrees awarded have basically leveled at 1.31 million per year since the early 1970s. (SW) AU - Baker, Curtis O.

National Center for Education Statistics Bulletin, September 1981. AN - 63558700; ED208779 AB - Data on black college students and black colleges for 1980-81 are presented and briefly described. More than a million black students enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities in fall 1980, and slightly more than half of these students attended colleges in the Southern and border states. Over a third of the black students in the Southern/border states were enrolled in predominantly black colleges. Most of these students attended traditionally black institutions (TBIs), while the rest were enrolled in newer predominantly black institutions (PBIs) that were founded in the last 25 years. Enrollment has been increasing in both the TBIs and the PBIs, even though the purposes of these colleges differ greatly. Most of the TBIs are four-year colleges that stress academic and first-professional education, while the majority of the new PBIs are two-year vocational schools organized for profit. Almost half of the PBIs are located in North Carolina (eight) and South Carolina (seven). About one in five black students in colleges outside the Southern/border states attended a school in which over half of the students enrolled were black. Most of these predominantly black institutions are two-year schools emphasizing vocational education, and over half are public and two-thirds are located in three cities: New York City (eight), Chicago (eight), and Detroit (five). In addition to data on black students enrolled in black colleges by state, enrollment profiles are presented of TBIs and PBIs.

AN - 63560799; ED219388 AB - A special study pertaining to the career and occupational development knowledge of 17-year-olds, both in and out of school, was conducted for the Department of Labor by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. For the 49 cognitive items measured, performance percentages were up on two items, about the same as in previous assessments on 18 items, and down on 29. For the eight experiential items being reassessed, performance was about the same on five items and was down on the other three. Performance on attitudinal items increased on four, remained stable on ten, and declined on four. Results are reported for various subgroups of interest, such as: regions, the sexes, racial/ethnic groups, different types of communities, reading achievement quartiles, and several work experience categories. Respondents who reported being employed on a regular, occasional or part-time basis did significantly better on the job-knowledge items than the nation as a whole, while unemployed teens or full-time workers were below the nation. The report also provides group results for each individual item assessed, and gives changes in performance percentages from previous assessments.

AN - 63557964; ED206682 AB - The performance of 9, 13, and 17 year old public and private school students, in reading and mathematics, was compared by analyzing data collected during the National Assessment of Educational Progress 1977-78 mathematics and 1979-80 reading assessments. Although results were averaged for the national population, separate data is available not only for the types of schools, but for region, race, sex, size and type of community. Mean national performance percentages indicate significant differences in favor of private schools in both reading and mathematics. After adjustment for the fact that schools serve unequal proportions of students from different socioeconomic background (by equating student populations for public and private schools), mean scores on the entire reading assessment differed three percentage points at age 9 and 13, and four points at 17 in favor of private schools. Differences in mathematics scores were statistically insignificant. It appears that on a national level: private schools perform better than public schools in reading and mathematics; the advantage may vary in different regions and for different student groups; and a significant portion of the advantage is accounted for by the different socioeconomic make-up of students attending private schools.

AN - 63558038; ED207425 AB - Results of the 1980-81 Survey of Institutional Characteristics of Colleges and Universities, as part of the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS), are presented. The survey sample consisted of 3,270 accredited institutions and branches and an additional 141 systems and central offices. Eighty more institutions/branches had accreditation during the 1980-81 school year than the previous year. Private two-year schools accounted for more than two-thirds of the increase, and the balance was dominated by a rise in the number of public two-year institutions. Data are presented indicating the growth in the number of institutions and their branches participating in the HEGIS program during the past decade. Increases in the number of public institutions outpaced that of their private counterparts until 1977, and since that time, private institutions have been added at a ratio of nearly five to one over public institutions. Information is also provided on: the number of institutions by state, control, level, sex of student body, and calendar system. The number of institutions by control and level accredited by each of the recognized accrediting agencies is also indicated, along with information on administrative staff, dates of establishment of institutions, and the number with summer or evening programs. The low turnover rates among selected administrative staff indicate the possibility of increased stability among the deans and directors of the various academic programs. Nearly two thirds of these positions had a lower turnover rate than the previous year.

Analyses are presented using data for the 1976-77 school year, with some comparisons to 1969-70 and 1973-74. The available statistical data on public school financial status for states and for school systems in the United States are assembled from diverse sources. An acceptable level of comparability in coverage and definition is achieved by extensive editing; this results in two distinct databases, one containing information at the state level and the other information at the school system level. Using several summary statistics that have been used in previous analyses of the distribution of educational revenues, the study shows dispersions in expenditure, revenue, and teachers throughout the nation's 16,000 school systems. In analyzing wealth neutrality, the authors examine dispersions in property values and in computational tax rates as well as the relationship of property values and tax rates to state and local revenues and to expenditures.

AN - 63547093; ED212191 AB - Data on salaries, tenure, and fringe benefits of full-time instructional faculty for the 1980-81 academic year were collected as part of the Higher Education General Information Survey. The information on composition and tenure is reported by sex, academic rank, length of contract, and level and control of institutional unit. The survey population was limited to those members of the instruction/research staff employed on a full-time basis whose regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for research. The national survey was based on data obtained from 3,231 institutional units. Findings include the following: the number of full-time instructional faculty increased 1.2 percent in 1980-81 to 395,992 from 391,174 in 1979-80; women comprised 26.4 percent of the total full-time instructional faculty compared to 26.0 percent in 1979-80. At institutions reporting tenure status, full-time instructional faculty were tenured; at institutions reporting tenure status, 70.0 percent of the male faculty and 49.7 percent of the female faculty were tenured; average salaries were highest for both men and women with the rank of professor on 9-month contracts in public institutional units, $31,331 and $28,915 respectively (representing an 8.1 percent increase for men and a 7.5 percent increase for women over 1979-80 salaries); overall, average salaries of men on 9-month contracts continue to exceed those of women in every academic rank and level of institutional unit.

Providing an overview of Hispanic Americans in the U.S., Chapter 1 discusses the problems of defining Hispanics and Hispanic subgroups, and presents general information on such characteristics as size of the Hispanic population, age and geographical distribution, and school enrollment status. Concerned with elementary and secondary education, Chapter 2 covers such topics as enrollment rates, characteristics of high school students, and school noncompletion. This chapter concludes with a brief description of education in Puerto Rico. Covering postsecondary education, Chapter 3 includes tabular data on such topics as enrollment, degrees awarded, and student characteristics. Portraying the social status in American society of Hispanic teenagers and adults as related to their previous educational level, Chapter 4 covers such topics as employment by broad occupational category, unemployment rates, post-high school experiences, and income levels. Throughout the report, data on Hispanics are compared with data on Anglo Americans to provide an interpretative context. (Author/NQA) AU - Brown, George H.

The 14th annual Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS XIV) was mailed to all institutions listed in the Educational Directory, Colleges and Universities, 1978-79. Completed survey forms were received from 2,909 institutions (91.7 percent). Data were imputed for nonrespondents. Summary tables show selected financial statistics for fiscal years 1978 and 1979 and the percentage change by control, region, and state on the following information: current funds revenues, expenditures, value of physical plant assets, indebtedness, endowment, tuition, scholarship and fellowship awards, and educational expenditures. There was a net increase of six 4-year institutions and 37 2-year colleges. In 1979 as compared with 1978, two states had two more public institutions (Nebraska and Hawaii) and one outlying area (Puerto Rico) had one more; three states (New York, Texas, and Alaska) has a net loss of one; and the District of Columbia lost two publicly-controlled units. The net result was two more public reporting units for the aggregate United States in 1979 than in 1978. There was a net increase of 41 private institutions of higher education.

AN - 63539447; ED209031 AB - Focusing on examples of progress and requirements for the future, the briefing paper summarizes Title I Migrant Education Program efforts to identify and meet specific needs of migrant children. Since its inception in FY 1967, the Title I program has expanded to encompass 49 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D. C., growing from a $10 million program serving about 80,000 children to a $245 million FY 1981 program with almost 600,000 participants. Continuity of instruction is a top priority with a special focus on the individual educational problems of each child. The 1974 establishment of the Migrant Student Record Transfer System facilitates these tasks. Innovative, creative ideas impacting migrant education include production in Florida of a film depicting what it is like to be a migrant child, development in California of a college student mini-corps providing summer program assistance, and a New Jersey mobile industrial training program for migrant youth. For continued progress in migrant education, interstate coordination and development in areas such as career education, urban school migrant services, and a nationally accepted high school credit transfer system must occur.

AN - 63649536; ED200388 AB - Even though their diversity makes comparison with public schools difficult, American private schools should voluntarily provide data about their students, teachers, and their students' academic abilities to the government's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). NCES' private school data will increase the schools' visibility and help inform government policy makers who propose laws and regulations that ultimately affect private schools. Results of a 1976 to 1979 mail survey of private schools, sponsored by NCES, the Council for American Private Education, and the National Catholic Education Association indicated that in 1979, a total of 19,663 private schools existed in the United States, serving 5,084,297 students with 272,664 teachers. An average of 259 students attended each school, 80% of which were parochial schools and 50% of which were Catholic schools. Two-thirds of all private school students attended Catholic schools. Private schools comprised 18.4% of all schools and served 10.7% of all students with 11.9% of all teachers. Enrollments in boarding schools declined but enrollments in schools serving one sex increased. National longitudinal studies of high school seniors in 1972 and 1980 indicated that 1980 seniors were more interested in money and academics and less interested in correcting socioeconomic inequalities than 1972 seniors.

AN - 63643199; ED205588 AB - The purpose of this released exercise set is to provide easy access to released exercises from the reading/literature assessment conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in 1979-80. Exercises were used to assess the attainments of samples of 9 year olds, 13 year olds and 17 year olds. Upon this basis, generalizations about the probable performance of all students in these age-groups were made. The set is divided into four brief sections and two extensive appendixes. Part (1) explains assessment and scoring procedures, and describes the documentation accompanying each exercise. The rationales behind the development of questions for the 1979-80 assessment are provided in Part (2) and exercises appear in Appendix A. Part (3) discusses the developmental rationale for the 1970-71 assessment exercises. These were recently released and now appear in Appendix B. Cross-reference tables, for the purpose of locating subsets of exercises, are given in Part (4). Both multiple choice exercises and the following five types of open-ended exercises requiring different skills and levels of ability are given: general response exercises; emotional response exercises; evaluative exercises; analytical exercises; and exercises requiring the use of inference.

Each exercise, its objectives, subobjectives, administration guidelines, and national performance levels on the exercise, are documented. Detailed, age specific scoring rationales and guidelines are given for each exercise. One exercise may require very specific responses such as the identification and substantiation of character traits, whereas another might require any of a number of responses. In the instance of latter, guidelines are given for identification of the relevance of the response for classification of the response type, for example: the student may retell the passage; his response may be emotional, personal, egocentric, analytical, comparative or evaluative; he may generalize; or he may make inferences.

AN - 63637246; ED200898 AB - Highlighting the significant reading gains of 9-year-old students and, to a lesser extent, 13-year-old students, this report presents the results of three assessments surveying the reading skills of American 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old students during the 1970-71, 1974-75, and 1979-80 school years. The first chapter is introductory in nature, providing descriptions of the data base, measurement design, and terminology. The second, third, and fourth chapters present, respectively, national results for each age group. Within each of these chapters, results are presented also according to sex, race, region, parental education, and type and size of community. The fifth chapter presents performance results of racial groups by region and national results by "achievement class," a background variable used to examine national results within ranges of achievement. The sixth chapter considers the educational significance of the findings, putting the results in context. Appendixes contain (1) tables of summary results for the nation and reporting groups in three assessments; (2) tables of the results on exercises administered to 9- and 13-year-old students, 13- and 17-year-old students, and 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old students; and (3) exhibits for grade levels and size-of-community groups on all exercises administered in the three reading assessments.

AN - 63543565; ED207135 AB - The purpose of this publication is to provide a concise introduction to major statistical trends and developments in the American education system up to 1979-80. Twenty-six pages of figures and tables are briefly explained in the text. Six areas of interest are examined. First the number of school districts, public and private schools, and colleges of several types is looked at and compared with previous years. Enrollment in public and private schools, colleges, and universities is then examined and trends identified. The report briefly notes the number of teachers at all levels and pinpoints recent reversals of long-term trends. The number of high school and college degrees awarded is the subject of one section in which degrees in five areas--management, education, engineering, foreign language, mathematics, and statistics--are highlighted. The report also reviews educational revenues and expenditures, including sources and amounts of funds, proportion of government funds spent on education, and comparison of expenditures for education with the gross national product for the past 50 years. School retention rates and level of attainment are examined, including attainment trends over the last 70 years, SAT test scores, and states using minimum competency testing. (JM) AU - Eiden, Leo J.

Section 1 presents findings that summarize the occupational outcome data by major field of study. Since certain fields and occupations tend to attract members of one sex more than the other, occupational outcome is examined separately for males and females. Also, since the occupational outcomes of bachelor's recipients who are enrolled and who are not enrolled for an advanced degree may be different, occupational outcome is looked at separately for those enrolled and not enrolled for an advanced degree. The basic data tables presented in section 2 are designed to serve as reference tables for college students and others involved in the process of choosing a major field career. These tables provide profiles of occupation and employment status for the major fields of study covering all bachelor's recipients, men and women, and those enrolled and not enrolled for an advanced degree.

AN - 63637144; ED204208 AB - A sample of 1,373 museums was selected to represent the total sample of 4,408 nonprofit museums in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Museums in the sample were surveyed in 1979 by means of a survey questionnaire and informal interviews to provide data in five areas--finance, program, facilities, personnel, and museum priorities. For the purposes of the survey, a museum was defined as an institution organized on a permanent basis for essentially educational or aesthetic purposes that utilizes a staff, owns or uses tangible objects, and cares for these objects and exhibits them to the public on a regular basis. Highlights from survey findings include that approximately one-half of all nonprofit museums were primarily history museums, one-fifth were science museums, and an additional 14% were art museums. Findings also show that museums were fairly uniformly spread throughout the country; slightly over one-half of all museums had a membership program; almost half of museum operating income was earned and an estimated 14% of total operating income came from the Federal government; approximately two-thirds of all institutions had library facilities; slightly over one-half of all institutions had facilities for the physically handicapped; and approximately two-thirds of all museums had increasing educational roles, although the percentage of personnel devoted to educational responsibilities has remained substantially unchanged (approximately 9%) in recent years. As a priority, education ranked first, followed by exhibits, conservation, and research, respectively. The document concludes with a copy of the survey questionnaire and tables of data.

AN - 63646276; ED200389 AB - The vital, sometimes controversial contribution of private schools to American education is documented by data gathered from 1976 to 1979. Although the totals reported are estimates because many values had to be statistically imputed, many patterns emerge. The proportion of private schools to all schools has varied only slightly since 1932. Although the number of private schools is currently decreasing at a faster rate than the number of public schools, private enrollment shows a slower decline. Eighteen percent of all elementary and secondary schools are private. Private schools enroll over 10% of all students; employ 11% of all teachers; account for 10% of all high school graduates; and generate and spend about 6% of the total amount spent for elementary and secondary education. Among private schools, 80% have church affiliation; 50% are Catholic schools enrolling 64% of all private school pupils. Enrollments in Catholic schools are declining but those in other church schools are rising. Also, 65% of private schools are elementary level with 59% of all private schools students; 12% are secondary with 21% of the students; and 17% combine both levels with 18% of the students.

For bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and first-professional degrees, the following are considered: the overall picture, representation of women among degree recipients by field of study for 1979 as compared with 1971; and the relative popularity of different fields of study for men and women, and how this changed between 1971 and 1979. Among the findings are the following: in 1979, women accounted for 48.3 percent of the bachelor's degrees, 49.1 percent of the master's degrees, 13.8 percent of the doctoral degrees, and 23.6 percent of the first-professional degrees; education continued to be the most popular degree field for women at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree levels; for men, business and management was the most popular at the bachelor's and master's degree levels, while education was the most popular at the doctoral level. In addition, women continued to increase their representation in all eight of the first-professional fields, such as medicine and law, in which trends could be measured, but they are still a definite minority in all of these fields.

Information is presented on the source of the data, sample design, estimation procedure, reliability of the estimates, nonsampling variability, sampling error, and standard errors. Estimates for the SIE were based on data collected from personal interviews from U.S. households. Each state was divided into areas made up of counties and independent cities referred to as primary sampling units. The SIE sample was a stratified multistage cluster design. A ratio estimation procedure was used to correct for coverage deficiencies. Variance parameters for national estimates of college enrollment/attainment and income are provided for the analysis groups used in the series of reports on the characteristics of postsecondary students. The use of parameters along with a comparison of percentages are illustrated. The standard error for a difference between two sample estimates is also covered.

AN - 63540256; ED208687 AB - The seminar reported on was convened to discuss the findings of a study by Calvin J. Veltman on minority language usage past the first immigrant generation. Veltman discovered that minority languages in the United States are following the patterns of previous immigrant languages: while first generation newcomers speak their native language and learn some English, their offspring are likely to learn English first. The parents' language is seldom used by the majority in subsequent generations. A panel reacted to the findings as follows: (1) methodological difficulties regarding interpretation of results were presented, (2) Spanish language maintenance was cited as a fact, and (3) the belief was expressed that language assimilation should not be equated with cultural or ethnic assimilation. Implications of the findings and of the discussion for policy were set forth: (1) bilingual education alone will not curb trends in language attrition, although this is not a legitimate argument against bilingual education; (2) the need for a national language policy is clearer than before; (3) Hispanics are special; (4) the situation in the U.S. does not parallel that in Canada; and (5) the role of mass communication in assimilation is instrumental.

AN - 63539930; ED207769 AB - Effects of Federal education policy on rural and small school include inequities and neglect. Funding formulas based on concentrations of targeted pupils and average cost per pupil appear to deprive small and rural local education agencies (LEA) of a fair share of Federal education monies. Selection criteria such as density and Education Division General Administrative Regulations (plan of operation, quality of key personnel, time-committed-to-the-job, budget-and-cost-effectiveness, evaluation) penalize small and rural LEAs. Other regulatory and administrative practices that complicate, impede, and discourage small and rural LEA participation in Federal education programs are maintenance-of-effort provisions; matching requirements; paperwork burdens; a propensity to favor large over small grants; and difficulties in obtaining technical assistance and information about Federal programs. Suggestions for a rural initiative include: analysis of formula and criterion effects on rural and small LEAs, rural "set-asides," direct rural communication, paperwork burden reduction, technical assistance participation, improving the data base, identifying and validating successful rural practices, and legislation to compensate for extra costs necessary to assure quality education for rural children.

AN - 63539575; ED209033 AB - From Fiscal Year (FY) 1967 through FY 1974, the allocation for each state's Title I migrant education grant was determined through a formula utilizing estimates of the migratory agricultural labor population of each state. Until the Migrant Student Record Transfer System was fully validated in FY 1975, there were no totally reliable counts of actual numbers or periods of residence of migratory children in each state. Revisions to allocation computation procedures occurred with the passage of Public Laws 90-247, 93-380, and 94-482. The allocation formula now operates as follows: (1) each state accumulates one residency day for each day that a migratory child is resident in that state; (2) a state's total of accumulated residency days is divided by 365; (3) each state total full-time-equivalent is then multiplied by 40% of the state's per pupil expenditure rate; (4) the computed amount then provides the total amount available for grant to each state. Individual state allocation totals provide the total national program allocation. The amount of funding is then taken 100% "off-the-top" of the total Title I authorization. Allocations have increased from $9,737,847 for 169,910 children in FY 1967 to $245,000,000 for 369,182 children in FY 1981.

AN - 63617793; ED201692 AB - This study was conducted in order to identify some of the broad characteristics of achievement in science and mathematics by black students. A nationwide sample of nine, thirteen, and seventeen year old students was tested with a series of exercises that were developed to assess science and mathematics performance. The exercises were designed to probe both content and processes across several taxonomic levels. Findings indicated that, compared to the national average, black students as a group experienced problems in mathematics at all age levels, but these were accentuated by age seventeen. In science, a smaller overall gap in performance was found at age nine. This gap narrowed by age thirteen, but widened noticeably at age seventeen. The many tables of data included in this report indicate particular content areas and specific taxonomic levels at which black students experience difficulty. (MK) AU - Holmes, Barbara J.

The state programs are developing model program evaluation/management information support units. This second issuance of Observations contains an outline supported by flow charts and summaries of Delaware's case review process. Oregon's deployment of staff in tracking issues is described and illustrated with an example of the technique at work. An interim report from Michigan examines the program evaluator's role as consultant through two case histories. Virginia's approach to evaluation uses team techinques employing both evaluation staff and program personnel. Pennsylvania's contribution describes the structure of its case review process in terms of regional and district roles. West Virginia describes an ongoing study of the pros and cons of using benefit-cost analysis in vocational rehabilitation. Mississippi suggests that development of a management information system might well precede attempts at evaluation. The report concludes with a review, contributed by West Virginia, of a new handbook in human services evaluation, and a bibliography.

AN - 63457392; ED219885 AB - Based on data collected by the U.S. Bureau of the Census in its October 1980 Current Population Survey, this report examines school enrollment rates of 3- and 4-year-olds from three major ethnic groups (black, white, and Spanish origin) and relates this information to characteristics of the children's schools and households. Variables covered in the document's 10 tables include race or ethnic group, age, geographic region, metropolitan or nonmetropolitan location, family income, educational attainment of the household head and the mother, sex and occupation of the household head, mother's marital and labor force status, number of other children under 14 in the household, the school's educational level and public or private status, and the child's full- or part-time enrollment. Also noted is the impact of the federal Head Start program. Among the findings of the survey are that overall preprimary enrollment rates were roughly the same for whites and blacks but were lower for children of Spanish origin, and that blacks were far more likely than whites to be enrolled in full-day programs and in public schools. Two appendices present definitions of variables and discuss data sources and reliability.

AN - 63608798; ED194577 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) item development procedures, possible improvements or alternatives to these procedures, and methods used to control potential sources of errors of interpretation are described. Current procedures call for the assessment of 9-, 13- and 17-year-olds in subject areas typically taught in schools. Objectives and items are developed and reviewed through a consensus process which involves subject-matter experts, educators and lay persons. Reviews help to establish the accuracy and content validity of items and to guard against potential item bias. Procedures used to prepare item booklets, administer the assessment and score the items are designed to reduce sources of error and to ensure nearly identical conditions across assessments so measurements of change are accurate. Possible alternative procedures, including structuring assessments by means other than subject areas, using an assessment framework other than objectives, developing objectives through textbook analysis, employing objectives developed by other organizations, using a contractor other than NAEP to monitor development and changing the number or type of reviewers, are also discussed. Procedures that would benefit from further research are identified. (Author/RL) Primary type of information provided by report: Procedures (Exercise Development) (Objectives Development).

AN - 63608740; ED194601 AB - Three questions are discussed: (1) what approach will be taken to gain and maintain access to school districts and schools to administer assessment instruments? (2) what procedures should be employed in the difficult and complex task of gaining access to nonstudents (age 17)? and (3) what problems are likely to be encountered in doing this? Access to in-school and nonschool samples is one of the most critical aspects of a National Assessment program. A successful approach to gaining and maintaining access to school districts and schools demands that a protocal be followed; involvement by school personnel and students be minimum; procedures for resolving refusals be developed; and monitoring of data collection procedures and staff be rigorous so that problems are readily identified and corrected. School records are the basis for constructing the sampling frame for the out-of-school 17-year-olds. School officials provide a listing of names of early graduates, and students who failed to return to school following summer vacation and are not known to have enrolled in another school. Problems likely to be encountered include: response/nonresponse; privacy and confidentiality; the intrusiveness of surveys; and the growing cost of research.

AN - 63608665; ED194605 AB - Approaches to data analysis used by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and possible alternative methodologies are reviewed. Since various components of the NAEP model affect analysis, key elements of that model, including procedures for developing objectives and exercises, drawing the sample, collecting data and reporting results, are briefly described. Performance on sets of items is summarized by using the average of percentages of acceptable responses to the items in a set. Methods for computing the statistics commonly used by NAEP and the standard errors of those statistics are described. The paper presents answers to questions frequently raised regarding NAEP analytical procedures, including such topics as the use of NAEP data to establish causal relationships, use of data adjustments, possibility of increasing the number of background questions, potential for setting performance standards, provision of different data breakdowns and new methods of analysis. For the 1979-80 reading assessment, data will be reported by achievement class, a new reporting variable. Appendices define reporting variables, present forms used to collect background information, describe population proportion smoothing methods, provide information about the problem of nonresponse in assessment samples, and describe methods of accounting for sample design with design effects.

The submission of a draft final report prompted the present report from the sponsoring organization, in which various methodological procedures are questioned and recommendations are made for the revision of the final report. The three analytical issues involved are: (1) were the items selected for inclusion in the Language Measurement and Assessment Inventory (LM&AI) selected properly? (2) were the cutoff scores for the LM&AI, which were determined and used to classify children as either English proficient or of limited English proficiency (LEP), set properly? and (3) what were the effects of non-response bias on the counts and estimates of the number of LEP children? With regard to (1), it is recommended that certain caveats be set forth in the final report. Criteria are introduced that, with respect to (2), actually revise the figures regarding the number of LEP children. Further investigations of nonresponse bias were found not to be warranted.

AN - 63608624; ED194571 AB - In recent years, the controversy surrounding testing has grown, and the charge of bias is the most often cited criticism of testing and assessment. A review of the literature indicates that psychometricians and other researchers speak of bias as a property of the test or of items in the test. Conversely, test critics speak of bias as a quality or attitude associated with testing, which is suggestive of cultural preferences. The meaning of bias from the research and social perspectives is explored and the areas of conflict between the two are pointed out. By delineating some of the primary points in these divergent perspectives, the position of the National Assessment of Educational Progress relative to cultural bias is clarified in terms of its unique purposes and design. The National Assessment has implemented several techniques during the processes of objectives and exercises development and administration to minimize the intrusion of cultural bias or preferential material. The process of consensus and the evaluative criteria used to develop, write and select exercises are described. Ways in which a new analysis variable, achievement class, can be utilized as a bias detection method with the National Assessment exercises is discussed.

National statistics provide data on the following questions: What is the state of the market for new teachers? How do graduates newly qualified to teach fare in the labor market compared to other graduates? What kinds of jobs do graduates newly qualified to teach get when they aren't teaching? and, What is the outlook for teaching jobs over the next several years? These questions are examined for bachelor's degree recipients who were graduated between July 1, 1976, and June 30, 1977. Their job status is that which existed in February 1978. In certain cases, comparisons are made with those who were graduated during the same period two years earlier. The statistics show that there were fewer graduates newly qualified to teach in 1976-77 than in 1974-75, and that data group fared somewhat better than their peers two years earlier. Most graduated in the fields of special education, general elementary, and English instruction. (JD) AU - Metz, Stafford A. AU - Crane, Jane L.

Four categories of users of NAEP data are identified: external researchers interested in specific analyses of the data, external users interested in existing research results, archival users interested in preserving information gathered by NAEP, and internal users (the staff) with specific interests in part of NAEP data. A discussion of database management needs describes the needs characteristics of each of these categories of users and points out some of their differences and similarities. Database management techniques are explored in terms of equipment, software, methods, and applications of the NAEP data management technique. Extensive appendices include a list of the contents of a current NAEP public-use data tape, data access plan and dissemination plan for the NAEP, and an overview of data models.

Special Report, U.S. Department of Education. AN - 63594323; ED195195 AB - Results of a national survey of salaries, tenure, and fringe benefits of full-time college instructional faculty are presented. The survey was part of the Higher Education General Information Survey. Overall, the number of full-time instructional faculty increased slightly from 1976-77 to 1977-78. While the number of men remained approximately the same, the number of women increased by 2.3 percent. The largest increase for women came in the lecturer category, the lowest rank. The percentage changes for women exceeded those for men in all ranks, and although tenured men far outnumbered tenured women, women scored higher percentage gains in tenure than men during this period. Mean salaries of men were higher than those of women, whatever the academic rank, at all institutional levels. Salaries by rank for different types of institutions are compared, and fringe benefits for public and private institutions are contrasted. Charts and tables illustrate the short narrative description.

Part one of the publication describes the procedures NAEP used to characterize differences in syntactic structures. This approach is based on an analysis of the grammatical forms in which sentences are cast. Part two describes the procedure used to rate the cohesiveness of each essay. This approach is concerned with the number and variety of devices used to link and carry forward developing ideas. Part three presents the procedures NAEP used to characterize writing mechanics. This approach accounts for matters of manuscript form. The systems used to tally error rates are essentially unchanged from those used in earlier assessments, with some refinements.

AN - 63608316; ED194576 AB - Audiences were surveyed at the federal, state, and local levels in an effort to determine how the National Assessment of Educational Progress could be made more useful in meeting their needs. Recommendations fell into several major categories: (1) increased dissemination of assessment materials and access to data; (2) increased data interpretation and data analysis; (3) increased collection of data on background and program variables; (4) increased research potential; (5) increased policy relevance; and (6) increased attention to state and local needs. Needs expressed by different audiences were at times in conflict. Education researchers typically would like more background and program information, while national curriculum organizations would like more achievement questions. State and local educators would like more items released for their use, while obtaining reliable change data demands that as many items as possible be kept secure. The present Assessment design does not permit some of the desired uses of assessment data. Trade-offs between various audience needs are outlined and relative costs of different procedures are indicated.

Divided into three parts, Part One explores differing conceptions of literacy, ways in which NAEP can address certain of them, ways in which NAEP can serve as a proving ground for literacy measures, and potential enhancements to the current NAEP model; Part Two explores NAEP's contribution to equity studies as a descriptive data base and a source of analytical inquiry; and Part Three examines trade-offs involved in potential enhancements of the current design. Appended are a discussion of trends for two kinds of literacy, a sampling of equity graphs, tables and statements, and NAEP publications in reading, writing and literature.

AN - 63536651; ED208534 AB - The primary purpose of this handbook is to reflect changes that have occurred in governmental accounting and educational finance since 1973. Major emphasis is placed on defining account classifications that provide meaningful financial management information. After describing the need for and advantages of a proposed account classification system, defining the system's framework envisioned in the coding structure, and clarifying the multiple uses to be made of the coding structure, the publication discusses the implementation of the account classification system and cost accounting for educational programs. The publication's content and format are based on the double-entry and accrual or modified-accrual basis of accounting. However, an appendix identifies the additional classifications needed to operate on a single-entry set of records and needed to provide the balance sheet accounts most frequently used in a cash-basis/double-entry system. The use of the classifications and definitions in this handbook, claims the author, will enhance the comparability of recorded and reported financial information at the local, state, and federal levels.

AN - 63532706; ED207763 AB - Data from the 1976 Survey of Income and Education (SIE) were used to assess the role of language factors in the occupational and income attainment process of Hispanic men and women aged 25-64 in 1976. The SIE contained a relatively complete set of basic language-use questions designed to ascertain the mother tongue of adults, the usual language spoken by an individual, and the presence of a second language spoken with regularity. Data indicated that Hispanic men who did not speak English were more concentrated in part-time employment than other men, while women who spoke English poorly were under-represented in both part-time and full-time employment. Both sexes were further penalized by their inability to speak English after they were employed. Data did not indicate that having English as mother tongue was associated with either net higher occupational or income gains. Unlike Black men, Hispanic men appeared to have occupational and income attainments consonant with their background and educational characteristics. No important differences were found in the relative attainments of Black, White, and Hispanic women with respect to earnings. Findings suggested that the major problems faced by Hispanics were low educational attainment and inability of recent immigrants to speak English well. (Author/CM) AU - Veltman, Calvin J.

Data on baccalaureate and higher degrees are presented in summary and detailed tables, which show the numbers of degrees granted by level of degree, institutional control and level, sex of recipient, state, and discipline division and specialty. Among the findings are the following: the total number of bachelor's, first-professional, master's, and doctor's degrees conferred by institutions of higher education in 1977-78 showed a decrease over the previous year's total by 2,356; the effect of a decrease in men was largely balanced by an increase in women receiving degrees; the largest increase in the number of degrees awarded to women since 1973-74 occurred for the first-professional degrees, but women were still only approaching parity with men at the bachelor's and master's levels; the percent of degrees conferred by publicly controlled institutions decreased slightly for two degree levels; business and management, education, and the social sciences were the disciplines with the largest number of bachelor's degrees; education, business and management, and public affairs and services were the disciplines with the largest number of master's degrees; and education, social sciences, and biological sciences were the disciplines with the largest number of doctoral degrees. Additionally, degree trends from 1968 through 1978 are analyzed. A sample survey form is appended. (SW) AU - Pepin, Andrew J. AU - Wells, Agnes Q.

AN - 63695651; ED186331 AB - The document presents multiple-choice exercises designed by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) to measure the ability of students (ages 9 through 17) to recognize and describe various works of art. The objective is to provide classroom teachers easy access to released and tested art assessment materials. For each exercise, information is presented on objectives, time required, administration, photographic and source information, and age groups for which the exercise is most appropriate. Exercises and documentation are in loose leaf format to facilitate sorting and copying. Most exercises involve photographs of art works. The document is presented in three major sections. Section I reviews assessment procedures upon which the exercises are based and explains documentation which accompanies the exercises. Section II presents objectives used to develop the exercises (including that students should know about art and perceive and respond to various aspects of art), describes the content range of the exercises, and offers a directory of exercises. The final section, which comprises the bulk of the document, presents approximately 100 multiple-choice exercises. Students are directed to view photographs of art works and answer questions concerning major themes, quality, color intensity, and the importance of art to the human experience.

The report covers enrollments at all educational levels, numbers of high school graduates and earners of higher education degrees, numbers of instructional staff and educational expenditures at all levels, and costs charged to higher education students. The authors predict decreases through the 1980s in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary enrollments, high school graduates, baccalaureate degrees granted, and employed higher education teachers; but they foresee increases in elementary and secondary teachers and in expenditures at all levels. The data on enrollments, graduates, degrees, and teachers are controlled for several other variables, including age, sex, full- or part-time teaching or attendance, public or private control, field of study, two- or four-year program, graduate or undergraduate status, type of postsecondary degree, and teachers' academic rank. The financial data cover teacher salaries, capital outlays, interest payments, and sources of funds and control for current and constant (1978-1979) dollars. The report's six appendices (with 3 figures and 52 tables) discuss the authors' methods and definitions and supply supporting demographic and financial data. (RW) AU - Frankel, Martin M.

Part I discusses the use of the report as an aid in comparative analysis, examines the representativeness of the sample, and summarizes major findings. Part II presents explanations, possible interpretations, and the limitations of median findings as they relate to: (1) expenditures for academic programs, support services, scholarships, credit and non-credit instruction, utilities, and plant maintenance; (2) revenues from tuition and fees; government appropriations; and gifts, grants, and contracts; (3) the proportion of full-time equivalent staff utilized for credit and non-credit instruction, public services, academic support, student services, instructional support, and plant operation; and (4) the average size of classes offered for credit. For comparison purposes, Part III examines findings for each of the above categories in terms of upper and lower quartiles, and Part IV presents a breakdown of median and quartile findings for colleges with enrollments less than 1,000, less than 5,000, between 5,000 and 15,000, and over 15,000. Finally, Part V presents scattergrams illustrating the relationship of selected findings, such as the ratio of enrollment to expenditures per student.

AN - 63688035; ED184878 AB - The purpose of this study was to identify the most important factors related to the problem of women's participation in mathematics and to determine the relative importance of the factors to guide future research and intervention efforts. The vehicle for this study was a national survey of 1,452 13-year-olds and 1,788 high school seniors. The data collection centered upon achievement in mathematics, participation in mathematics, sex-role stereotyping, career and academic plans, the student's attitude toward mathematics, parental influence and the influence of significant other people in the student's life. Correlation and regression analyses were performed on the survey data to identify those factors which most affect participation and achievement in mathematics. The results of the study indicate that 13-year-old females start their high school mathematics career with at least the same ability as their male contemporaries. By the twelfth grade, males have overtaken females. The results also indicate that certain groups of variables open to intervention strategies are related to participation and that these variables predict participation. At the conclusion of this report, strategies are suggested which may increase mathematics participation in school programs.

AN - 74960818; 15508481 AB - Three sampling methods for airborne beryllium are compared to validate observations made in a 1973 National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) industrywide study of the beryllium industry which indicated that, in general, the three methods yielded different results for samples taken in the same environment. Under NIOSH contract a beryllium production facility was sampled in 1974 by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) personal total and personal respirable sampling methods over a period of one year. All samples were analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Statistical analysis of the resulting data by NIOSH confirms the observations made in the 1973 study that samples collected by the three methods produced different results. No reliable relationship was found to exist which would permit conversion of the result obtained by one method to a result obtained by either of the alternate methods. It appears that, in general, for large numbers of samples taken under the same sampling conditions, the values determined by the personal respirable sampling method will be lower than those obtained by the AEC method and the values determined by the personal total sampling method will be greater.

The assessments were conducted in 1969-70, 1972-73, and 1976-77. This paper focuses on changes in science knowledge of young adults from the second assessment to the third assessment and compares performance of young adults with that of 17-year-olds. Results report a uniform decline in scientific literacy among young adults and 17-year-olds, with no difference between the two groups in their performance on science exercises. Observations are also noted regarding patterns of responses as to gender, minority groups, and social factors. (CS) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change).

AN - 63685750; ED183434 AB - The document describes the development of objectives and presents objectives formulated by music educators, lay individuals, and the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) staff in 1973. Objectives from the first music assessment were reappraised, reviewed, and revised to include greater breadth of application, greater emphasis on the affective domain, greater variety of music styles, and the use of music training background to provide context. Recommendations concerning assessment content and administration included that objectives be based on aurally presented materials and administered by persons who have had music training. Depth of coverage should also be increased with age level. The objectives are presented in five categories, which focus on the students' involvement in performing, creating, and responding to music. Category I measures how the student values music as an important realm of human experience, including responsiveness; acquaintance with music from various nations, cultures, periods, and ethnic groups; importance of music personally; and ability to make and support aesthetic judgments. Category II focuses on the ability to perform, while Category III measures the ability to create musical expression. Category IV measures the ability to identify the elements and expressive controls of music, such as rhythm, pitch, tone, and musical terms. Category V focuses on the ability to identify and classify music historically and culturally.

In particular, the survey focused on problems stemming from some children's eligibility for more than one of these programs and the districts' policies governing these children's program participation. The survey focused on three federal programs: Title I of the Elementary Secondary Education Act (ESEA), Public Law (P.L.) 94-142, and ESEA, Title VII. Of the districts responding to this national survey, 59 percent said they had encountered at least one of six specified problems stemming from some children's eligibility for more than one program. Overall, about two-fifths of the districts cited administrative problems only, while the remaining three-fifths mentioned instructional problems only, or a combination of the two. The survey is the seventh in the Fast Response Survey System series of current, policy-oriented issues.

Seven surveys provided the information on library data elements such as collection holdings for print and nonprint materials, operating expenditures, staffing, circulation, and interlibrary loan. Institutional variables used for comparison are student enrollments, expenditures, and the Consumer Price Index. The majority of the tables indicate institutional control, type, and enrollment size, and provide means and quartiles as well as totals. Selected data items on library collections, expenditures, and full-time staff are also shown by states. Analyses of the seven college and university surveys reveal substantial increases in collections, financial resources, staffing, and services. However, when changes in student population and inflation are considered, library conditions remained constant with regard to the number of books and circulation per student, and library expenditures in relation to education and general expenditures. Libraries declined in number of staff and expenditures per student, the proportion expended for library materials, and the number of books purchased. Provided are appendices, nine text tables, and 36 survey tables. (RBF) AU - Beazley, Richard M.

Reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography was used. All residues of gentian violet were assayed at 588 nm and quantified by peak height. The mobile phase was 85 per cent methanol - 15 per cent pH 3 buffer. Recoveries averaged 79 per cent for animal feed, 58 per cent for urine and 60 per cent for waste water. Stability studies indicate that small amounts of gentian violet were unstable in animal feed and evidence is presented to show that photodegradation occurs. Modifications of the procedure, for analsysis of six related triphenylmethane dyes, are reported.

Final Report. AN - 63690497; ED187562 AB - The purpose of this study was to identify the most important factors related to the problem of women's participation in mathematics and to determine the relative importance of those factors to guide future research and intervention efforts. The vehicle was a national survey of 1,452 13-year-olds and 1,788 high school seniors. Data collection centered upon achievement and participation in mathematics, sex-role stereotyping, career and academic plans, the students' attitudes toward mathematics, parental influence, and the influence of significant other people in the students' lives. Results of the study indicate that 13-year-old females begin their high school mathematics career with at least the same ability as their male contemporaries. By the twelfth grade, males have overtaken females. Large sex differences found for mathematics participation in previous studies were not found in this survey. Results also indicate that certain groups of variables open to intervention strategies are related to participation. Three groups of variables were found to have the greatest effect on participation: positive attitudes toward mathematics; perceived need for mathematics for future career and educational plans; and influences of significant others, including parents, teachers and counselors. At the report conclusion, strategies are suggested which may increase mathematics participation in school programs. (Author/MK) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Sex).

AN - 63687102; ED182174 AB - This is one of a series of reports summarizing the results of the second mathematics assessment conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Nine, 13- and 17-year-olds were assessed during the 1977-78 school year. The assessment measured achievement in various content areas at four levels of cognitive processes: knowledge, skill, understanding, and application. This report describes performance on the understanding items. Included are results for understanding of numbers and numeration, variables and relationships, geometry, measurement, and various other topics. The report also contains group results, age-level comparisons and observations on the results. The observations, consisting of a historical perspective, implications of the results, and recommendations, were made by a panel of people active in the field of mathematics education. Among the panel's five recommendations were: (1) An expanded definition of what is "basic" in mathematics is crucial to foster students' ability to cope with different types of mathematical tasks; (2) There is a need to promote understanding of concepts and to link skill development to problem-solving activities; and (3) There is a need for more consistent and comprehensive teacher education in the mathematics area.

The data were obtained from 3,173 two-year and four-year public and private colleges and universities and their branches included in the National Center for Education Statistics'"Education Directory, 1978-79, Colleges and Universities." Information is grouped under seven major categories: summary tables, enrollment by level of institution, enrollment by state, enrollment by institution, enrollment by race/ethnicity, enrollment by major degree field, and enrollment by major degree field and race/ethnicity. Findings include the following: enrollments in colleges and universities declined for the second time in the last three years; public college and university enrollments dropped for all three types of institutions, while total private school enrollment increased; women enrollments in colleges for the past several years have counterbalanced the decreases in enrollments experienced by men; and a total of 1.8 percent fewer students attended college full-time in 1978 than the previous year. Background information on the survey population and questionnaire procedures and a sample survey questionnaire are included. (SW) AU - Pepin, Andrew J.

Human Services Monograph Series. Number 14. AN - 63683075; ED183614 AB - Evaluability assessment is a descriptive and analytic process intended to produce a reasoned basis for proceeding with an evaluation of use to both management and policymakers. It was jointly developed by the members of the program evaluation group of the Urban Institute between 1968 and 1978. The approach begins by obtaining management's description of the program. The description is then analyzed to determine whether it is: complete, acceptable to the policymakers, and a valid representation of the program as it actually exists. Three types of models are used: logic models, function models, and measurement models. The evaluator determines whether management's expectations are plausible, whether its evidence is reliable, and whether the program is feasible to develop. Perhaps the most common problem affecting federal programs is unrealistic expectations, most likely resulting from a management decision which is invalid, implausible, or unacceptable to policymakers. A task for the evaluator is to construct alternatives wherever possible. The final step is to implement evaluability assessment findings. (Author/CTM) AU - Schmidt, Richard E.

AN - 63688536; ED182690 AB - Results of a 1977 assessment of the reading abilities of approximately 1,250 adults (26 to 35 years old) are reported in this paper and are compared with results of a similar assessment made in 1971. After discussing a typical comprehension exercise used in the assessment, the paper presents the materials and multiple choice questions used in assessing respondents' comprehension of four types of practical materials: a classified advertisement, an advertisement from a national magazine, a parking ticket, and a life insurance form. It then presents four exercises involving materials of a more difficult nature: two expository passages, a poem, and a graph. For each of the eight exercises, the paper indicates the percentage of adults responding to each answer and notes changes in those percentages from 1971. Among the major conclusions reported are that there was apparently little change in overall reading ability between 1971 and 1977, that a great many adults may still have difficulty reading passages that call for higher-level comprehension skills (for instance, key percentages of success on six questions with medium- to high-difficulty passages ranged from only 18% to 60%), and that amount of time spent watching television and amount of time spent reading appear to relate to reading performance.

This is a cooperative effort by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the National Center for Education Statistics, the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the National Institute for Independent Colleges, and the Association of American Universities. The survey questionnaire elicits information about the college use of television, the uses for instruction, the types of television outlets with which the college works, the college's relationships with the outlets, factors that contributed to or hindered the college's use of television for instruction, and the future of television for instruction at the college. The report details the procedural conduct of the survey as administered through the cooperating agencies; appendices provide the survey questionnaire, editing instructions, and keypunch instructions.

Technical Analysis Paper Number 7. AN - 63680251; ED182833 AB - Much of the controversy in discussions of tuition tax credits for elementary and secondary education has been over the question of who would benefit from the various proposals. This report presents data from the 1978 October supplement to the Current Population Survey that show, for the first time, who attends private schools and what tuitions they pay. Private school attendance rates and median tuitions are shown for students grouped by grade level and by region, race, and family income. These data then are used to estimate the average size and distribution of tuition tax credits which would accrue to each of these student groupings under two sample tax credit plans. Findings indicate the following: students in the South and West pay more to attend private schools than students in the northeastern and north central regions; median private school tuitions for black students are higher than those for white and Hispanic origin students; and, in general, tuition levels do not reflect ability to pay as measured by family income. This report discusses the policy implications of these findings and presents suggestions for modifying tuition tax credit proposals to target benefits more heavily on the disadvantaged.

AN - 63663674; ED177011 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has completed two surveys of mathematics achievement of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old students. The first was conducted during the 1972-73 school year and the second five years later, during 1977-78. This report describes changes in students' performance between the assessments. The overall results indicate some decline in mathematics achievement. Changes in performance differed by type of item and by age group. Declines became more apparent for older students. The results for whole number computation were generally satisfactory; however, results for problem solving were generally low and had declined. The assessment indicated a significant decline on mathematics understanding items only for 17-year-olds, while all three age groups declined on mathematics applications items. A panel chosen to intepret the results warned against placing too much emphasis on overall results and stated that changes for population groups or specific item types provide more meaningful information. The panel made seven recommendations for school mathematics. (MK) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change) (Selective).

The report also includes group results, age level comparisons and observations on the results. The observations, consisting of interpretation, consideration of implications and recommendations, were made by a panel of persons active in the field. The panel felt that the results implied that problem solving is a major area of concern in mathematics education. Among the panel's seven recommendations were an expanded definition of what is "basic" modification of textbooks to include a greater variety of problem-solving tasks and more emphasis on the teaching of problem solving.

The assessment measured achievement in various content areas at four levels of cognitive processes (knowledge, skill, understanding, and application). This report describes performance on knowledge and skill items. The report includes results for mathematical knowledge in the areas of numbers and numeration, geometry and measurement. The results for skills are divided into computational skills (computation with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, integers, percent, and conversion between fractional form) and other mathematical skills (measurement, reading graphs and tables, geometric manipulations, algebraic manipulations and estimation skills). The report also includes group results, age level comparisons and observations on the results. The observations, consisting of interpretation, consideration of implications, and recommendations, were made by a panel of persons active in the field. It was the judgment of this panel that while performance is generally satisfactory for knowledge and whole number computational skills, achievement in many other areas is below desired levels. Among the five recommendations is that the remedy for areas in which performance is not satisfactory should not be to expand rote drill and mechanistic teaching approaches but should strive to promote understanding.

The Sixth Annual Report to the Congress of the United States. AN - 63683422; ED182077 AB - Appointed by the President, the fifteen Indian and Alaska Native members of the National Advisory Council on Indian Education (NACIE) are charged by law to advise the Congress and the Commissioner of Education in a number of areas concerning the administration of programs in which Indian children and adults participate and to submit an Annual Report to the Congress. In the Sixth Annual Report seven recommendations are brought to the attention of Congress. The first three deal with NACIE's concern with the changeover to the newly-created Department of Education. NACIE recommends that (1) the organizational structure of the Office of Indian Education remain a distinct and separate organizational entity within the Department of Education, (2) that Indian Educational Programs contained in Title IV of P.L. 92-318 remain separate and distinct programs, and (3) that NACIE remain in tact and continue its advisory duties. Recommendations also are made for funding tribally controlled Community colleges and for a study to investigate the utilization of a telecommunication Satellite for Indian education related programs. The final recommendations deal with NACIE itself: that appointments be done within three months after a position is vacated and that the annual report be submitted on September 30 of each year rather than March 31. Included is a state-by-state accounting of the distribution of Title IV funding and the Indian Fellowships for FY 1978 managed by the Office of Indian Education.

Regulatory Analysis Draft. AN - 63678008; ED179302 AB - The purpose of this analysis is to provide decision makers with a careful comparison of alternate regulatory approaches and requirements for federal day care programs. The proposed day care regulations and this analysis cover about one-fifth of federal funding for day care and an even smaller segment of the total day care market. Proposed regulations will apply to day care subsidized under various titles of the Social Security Act -- Title XX, Title IV-B, and Title IV-A (WIN) -- and under several Titles of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Privately funded day care is not covered unless 10% or more of the children enrolled are subsidized by one of the covered programs. Direct government (federal, state, and local) spending for the programs covered by the proposed regulations is estimated at about 500-600 million dollars per year. The average number of children served in centers covered by the proposed regulations was estimated by the National Day Care Study to be 400,000. In-home care is not directly affected by these regulations, and this analysis does not cover that portion of the day care market. A major portion of the analysis reports costs and benefits of alternative provider requirements. Implications for state agency and federal enforcement are discussed. Other issues and considerations are explored. The final section of the analysis briefly indicates the methodology employed.

The primary study objectives were to: (1) develop a reliable estimate of what American colleges and universities must spend to make their programs accessible to the mobility impaired, as required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; and (2) examine the relationship between physical plant accessibility and program accessibility. Information is presented on the current state of physical accessibility on American campuses and the way in which they will modify their space to achieve program accessibility. A detailed analysis of the cost implications is included, as are floor plans and architectural modification specifications. Estimates of the numbers and enrollment patterns of various groups of handicapped are presented. The ability of institutions of higher education to house these students is also discussed. Two technical chapters are included that discuss the methodology employed in the study and assess the quality of the data presented in the report. Limitations of the scope of the study are also covered. The final chapter describes how well institutions understand the impact of Section 504. Appendices include a sample survey instrument, site visit survey forms, and a study workbook. (SW) AU - Wulfsberg, Rolf M. AU - Petersen, Richard J.

AN - 63598335; ED192259 AB - The position that the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) provides a data base that is compatible with various definitions of literacy and standards of competencies and can make a contribution to our understanding of the complex and controversial problem of literacy is supported in this paper. The paper notes that since the NAEP has surveyed a national sample of four age groups over a period of years since 1971, it is well suited for looking at a broad sample and providing longitudinal information. Other advantages of the NAEP for studying literacy that are cited are its comprehensiveness across many areas of study and functional skills, its breadth within single content areas, its covering of affective and background variables as well as achievement, and its ability to respond to new emphases, such as the proposed 1979-80 reading and literature assessment that has new exercises emphasizing comprehension of various kinds of texts. The use of the NAEP data base for the assessment of functional literacy conducted by NAEP in 1974 and 1975 for the National Right to Read program is discussed as an example of the use of the NAEP data base.

The largest single group within this total identified itself as Japanese--620,000. Though they live in the United States, 57 percent of those studied were born in Asia. The Japanese contrasted sharply with the other groups, since nearly three-fourths of them were born in the United States. Two-thirds of the people studied lived in households in which Asian languages were spoken. A person's birthplace was related to his or her current language exposure and usage. Among U.S.-born Asians, excluding the Japanese, about three out of five lived in households in which Asian languages were spoken. In contrast, more than four out of five Asians born abroad lived in such households. Fewer than a third of U.S.-born Japanese lived in Japanese-speaking households, but nearly 7 in 10 foreign-born Japanese did so.

Using the same exercises for adjacent assessments, with some exercises common to all three, National Assessment was able to measure improvements and declines in achievement between 1969-70 and 1976-77. Each assessment utilized a deeply stratified, multistage probability sample design and a professional data collection staff. To the extent possible, administration conditions were kept constant across assessments. The document contains a brief introduction and four chapters: chapter 1 contains background information about the project, chapter 2 presents national results by age levels (9 years, 13 years, 17 years), chapter 3 reports group results for 9-, 13- and 17-year olds, and chapter 4 contains a discussion of the adult science assessments.

Control distinguishes between public and private institutions, and private institutions are reported as independent, nonprofit, or profit, or other (affiliated with a religious group). The institutional types are university, four-year and two-year. The sex designation for the student body of each institution is shown as men, women, coeducational, or coordinate--separate colleges for men and women. The index is a companion volume to the "Education Directory, Colleges and Universities, 1978-79." The index reflects the biennial changes in the U.S. Congress and additional information on the institutions listed in the directory. (SW) AU - Smith, Carolyn R.

AN - 63759265; ED168922 AB - This report summarizes changes in student performance in the areas of citizenship and social studies, as measured by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. An initial assessment of citizenship was conducted in 1969-70, and an initial assessment of social studies was conducted in 1971-72. Both areas were reassessed in 1975-76. Because citizenship and social studies cover many similar topics, changes in performance in the two areas are reported here in terms of clusters of exercises covering areas such as political knowledge/attitudes and social studies knowledge/skills. Chapter I reviews development of the citizenship and social studies exercises, and describes procedures used to sample, administer, score, and analyze the exercises. Chapter II summarizes changes in mean percentages of acceptable responses for each age group for each of the major reporting categories and subcategories (i.e., social studies knowledge in economics, history, or political science). Chapter III describes changes in performance for student subpopulations based on factors such as geographic region, socioeconomic status, and sex. It also contains tables summarizing average performance of each group on different clusters of exercises. Appendices present additional data on technical and administrative procedures and nonresponse in assessment samples. (Author/AV) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Technical).

Financial Viability of Institutions. AN - 63778985; ED174172 AB - One of three papers commissioned as part of the Postsecondary Education Core Design Project of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), one of this study's purposes was to identify and set priorities for postsecondary education decisionmakers in the area of financial viability in postsecondary institutions. Another purpose was to translate these issues and priorities into operational terms for use in NCES data collection activities. Four parts make up the report. The first summarizes the main issues, concepts, and recommendations. The second defines the meanings of financial viability, identifies several key issues, and describes some of the implications for data production. The third part concentrates on some of the major recommendations for ongoing statistical work, and the fourth (the appendix) contains sample data collection aids and a brief annotated bibliography. The issues and data collection needs in this area are complex, and the data requirements question is found to have at least two dimensions. The first is how to modify existing statistical surveys without sacrificing the consistency of established and useful time series. The second is how to speed up professional dialogue for consensus on methodology as well as on concepts and financial viability models. (MSE) AU - Jenny, Hans H.

Financial viability is defined within the scope of postsecondary education, and key policy issues at the national, state, and institutional levels are identified. Implications for data production and recommendations for ongoing statistical work are addressed. Types of data to be collected for financial viability studies include student enrollment and financial aid data, institutional financial status data, and academic program and activity data. Research needs at the federal level concern: access, choice, and pricing; productivity in postsecondary education; the cost of complying with federal and state legislation and administrative regulations; and capital requirements. At the state level it is recommended that studies be undertaken that describe how the various state planning procedures are functioning and how the states are dealing with the public-private college and university issue. Sample data collection aids, a brief summary of the literature, and an annotated bibliography are appended. (SW) AU - Jenny, Hans H.

Final Report. AN - 63774232; ED172632 AB - Data are provided on fall 1977 enrollment in American colleges and universities. Information is grouped under four major categories: summary tables, enrollment by level of institution, enrollment by state, and enrollment by institution. The data were obtained from the 3,130 two-year and four-year public and private colleges and universities and their branches included in the National Center for Education Statistics'"Education Directory: 1977-78 Colleges and Universities." Race/ethnic and major field of study data were not collected in fall 1977. Background information on the survey population, questionnaire editing procedures, and a reproduction of the survey instrument are appended. Findings are summarized as follows: total enrollment in fall 1977 in all institutions of higher education increased 2.6 percent over the previous year; the trend toward increased enrollment of women continued in fall 1977; there were greater increases in part-time than in full-time enrollment in both public and private institutions; at public colleges and universities, there was an increase of 2.9 percent in first-time freshman enrollment in 1977, while the opposite was true for private institutions, which experienced a slight drop (0.1 percent) in first-time freshman enrollment.

Two sample surveys provide data for this report: the Survey of Recent College Graduates (RCGS) conducted in spring 1976 of 1974-75 graduates and the Local Education Agency (LEA) survey of Teacher and Administrator Shortages conducted in fall 1977. The RCGS collected data on teacher supply (number of graduates newly qualified to teach, by field), and on teacher demand (number hired as teachers) from a sample of about 5,000 graduates of 209 colleges and universities. The LEAs collected data on teacher and administrator shortages (number sought but not hired because qualified candidates were unavailable) and on fields for which there is expected to be an emerging or growing demand for teachers or administrators from a sample of about 500 school districts. Appendix A presents additional detailed information on the OE teacher training programs. Appendix B contains descriptions of the surveys and estimates of sampling errors.

AN - 63673355; ED180015 AB - A survey of the uses of instructional telelvision (ITV) in elementary and secondary schools throughout the United States was undertaken by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Center for Education Statistics. Teachers, principals, and superintendents were queried in the areas of availability, commitment, actual use, and attitudes. A small sample of students was surveyed about actual use. The final sampling was representative of approximately 12,000 school districts; 90,000 school buildings; 2,275,000 classrooms; and 46,000,000 students. Results of the survey showed that approximately one out of three teachers used television regularly in 1976-77; approximately 15 million students received a regular portion of their instruction via television; most teachers who used television for instruction integrated it with other classroom activities; an estimated 73 to 100 million dollars was spent on ITV by school districts in 1976-77; 64% of school superintendents expected school district expenditures for ITV to increase or remain the same through 1980; only 17% of all teachers had been trained to use ITV; and teachers who had instructional television available most often cited their local public television station as a major source of ITV programing.

AN - 63668659; ED176689 AB - An update, as of 1977, of four National Center for Education Statistics reports concerned with changing patterns in degree awards to women is presented. Separate chapters are devoted to bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and first-professional degrees. Each chapter consists of an overview, an examination by field of study of the percentage representation of women among degree recipients in 1977 as compared with 1971, and an examination of the relative popularity of different fields of study for men and for women, and how this has changed between 1971 and 1977. An overall finding of the report is that most of the trends identified in the four small reports continue to be evident in the 1977 data. Among findings are that at all four degree levels women continued to increase their percentage representation among degree recipients; that in 1977 women accounted for 46.2 percent of the bachelor's degrees, 47.1 percent of the master's degrees, 24.3 percent of the doctoral degrees, and 18.7 percent of the first-professional degrees; and that at both the bachelor's and master's levels women tended to show the greatest increases in those fields in which they have traditionally had small representation.

AN - 63607917; ED193314 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress reports data about levels of educational achievement of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds in several learning areas, including art, music, literature, reading, mathematics and science. Within each age group, females' and males' levels of art achievement were compared, and sex differences were contrasted with results from the other assessment areas. In the 1974 art assessment items fell into four categories: (1) affective involvement with art; (2) cognitive activities involved with art; (3) drawing and design skills; and (4) art participation background information. Conclusions show art as not having strong female or male dominance. Males' and females' drawing skills in particular show mixed percentages of success. Neither sex at any age level was very knowledgable about art. Attitudes toward art differ with age. Sex related patterns of achievement in art are unlike those from literature and music; females conform to popular expectations in literature and music while they do not always in art. Achievement patterns vary across ages and topics with respect to male-female dominance and the science results show consistent male dominance throughout.

Overall, 543 different questions were asked in the cognitive assessment of science at the three age levels. The questions were developed according to a two-dimensional matrix. One dimension, the classification of the cognitive abilities required to answer specific science questions, was divided into four categories: (1) knowledge; (2) comprehension; (3) application; and (4) analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The other dimension divided the domain of science into three major areas: content, process, and science and society. The questions illustrate various topics of the biological sciences, earth sciences, physical sciences, and integrated topics such as equilibrium, evolution, and probability. This document gives examples of several types of questions, and gives a summary of student performance categorized according to age, sex, ethnic background, region, size and type of community, and level of parental education.

The first study, a National Assessment of Educational Progress and Speech Communication Association pilot project, indicated that there was potential item bias based on minority ethnic group response. However, no real data on the students' verbal ability was available to substantiate possible explanations. In the second study, two packages of listening items, each approximately 35 minutes in length were developed, and a 25-item vocabulary test was administered to estimate verbal ability. Recording of the listening items was made by individuals using network English. The results indicated that there was a positive correlation between listening ability and verbal ability, suggesting that the differing responses of minority and nonminority students in the first study could be attributed to differing levels of verbal ability, rather than item bias.

Conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the study measured achievement of six behavioral objectives. These were: (1) show concern for the well-being and dignity of others, (2) support just law and the rights of all individuals, (3) know the main structure and functions of government, (4) participate in democratic civic improvement, (5) understand important world, national, and local civic problems, and (6) approach civic decisions rationally. Students in the survey represented nine-, 13-, and 17-year-old age groups. Chapter one of the report is a summary of citizenship achievement at each age for all six objectives. Chapters two through seven each focus on one of the objectives, discussing overall results for that particular objective and featuring sample questions. The final chapter compares different performance levels among age groups. Tables of data accompany the discussion in all chapters.

Data were collected through two surveys conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress during the 1971-72 and 1975-76 school years. Test items were categorized in three major areas: knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Four topics included under knowledge were economics, geography, history, and politics. Skill items dealt with ability to obtain and interpret information; questions about attitudes covered support for constitutional rights and respect for others. In this report, the first three chapters describe results for the three major areas. Each chapter includes a summary of changes in national performance, samples of the items used, and data for various population groups. Chapter four compares achievement for 13 and 17-year-olds. Overall results of the assessment revealed that nine-year-olds showed no statistically significant change in performance, and that 13 and 17-year-olds' performance declined. Seventeen-year-old Hispanic students and students living in the West displayed smaller declines than the nation as a whole. Although overall performance of blacks remained below that of whites, at age nine blacks showed more improvement than whites. At age 13 black performance remained the same while white performance declined. (Author/AV) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change) (Selective).

Onsite visits were conducted to assess program development and implementation in Houston, Worcester (Massachusetts), Minnesota, Fairfax County (Virginia), and Los Angeles. (Each area review is reported in depth.) A summary of the reviews found that (1) the Youth Employment and Demonstration Projects Act (YEDPA) has contributed to improved CETA communications with the public schools; (2) YEDPA provides opportunities for the education and employment/training communities to have substantial impact on the quality of education and training for youth; (3) the cooperativeness of previous relationships, community size, and degree of prior preparation contributed to CETA/LEA program development; (4) lack of time for comprehensive program planning affected most sites; (5) the Youth Employment and Training Programs (YETP) reaches students who would not otherwise be served; (6) program regulations hinder broad exposure of youth to private sector job opportunities; (7) school requirements (such as credit, scheduling, etc.) deserve more attention; and (8) most school and prime sponsor officials felt more money was required to meet deserving youth needs.

AN - 63845400; ED156598 AB - This study examined the relationship of cognitive and affective objectives to art experiences using data from the 1974-75 national assessment of art. The 1974-75 assessment used art exercises to measure cognitive and affective objectives of nearly 27,000 students aged 9, 13, and 17. The cognitive exercises were designed to assess students' perceptions and responses to aspects of art, their knowledge perceptions and responses to aspects of art, their knowledge of specific artworks and artistic periods, and their ability to make and justify judgments about aesthetic merit and quality of works of art. Affective exercises were aimed at securing information about students' general affective orientation toward art, their ability to recognize and express reasonably sophisticated conceptions of artworks and artists, and their openness toward artistic experimentation and unusual forms and styles of artwork. Students were questioned about their experiences with art: art done outside of school; visits to art museums or galleries; collecting art; and learning art or taking art classes in school. Singular Value Decomposition and Principal-Component analyses were used. These results suggest positive relationships between art experiences and performance on knowledge and affective exercises. Findings showed that the more art experiences students have the greater percentage of correct or desirable responses to cognitive and affective exercises.

Language-minority persons were found to be educationally disadvantaged on two key measures: school grade attainment for age and drop-out rate. SIE findings for persons of Hispanic origin who usually speak Spanish show that on these measures, this group is even more disadvantaged than language-minority persons in the aggregate. In addition to summaries of some of the findings, data are presented on the percentages of students two or more years behind expected age-grade levels by ethnic origin and language characteristics and on the numbers and percentages of students age 6 to 20 in grades 1 to 12 who were below expected grade levels. Additionally, numbers and percentages of persons 14 to 25 years old who had not completed four years of high school and were not currently enrolled are also presented. Information is also presented on related reports.

Fletcher, Prepared for The Joint Economic Committee Special Study on Economic Change, June 1, 1978. AN - 63846778; ED156379 AB - Demography, urban to rural migration, new educational technologies, and the human potential movement all impact on education. With the decline in number of school-aged children, schools can try to expand the number of students downward (early childhood education/day care), outward (special education, dropouts), or upward (adults), expand service through use of school facilities for social services, and/or rethink the role of schools. In urban to rural migration, the key distinction is whether migrants want to be in rural areas. Those who do not may try to "urbanize" the area, with detrimental affects on education through consolidation and inappropriate urban-oriented curriculums. Schools, already information poor and technologically backward, may be left behind as information providers as society faces revolutionary technological changes in communication through home computers, video-disc technology, laser-modulated fiber optics, and advanced satellites. The self-actualization movement in progress may influence schools to work toward a balanced development of the full range of human capabilities, addressing motivation to learn. Suggestions for economic policy dealing with each of the four areas are based on data presented. (RS) AU - Fletcher, Jerry L.

Selected Results from the First National Assessment of Art. AN - 63834928; ED155125 AB - Summaries of results are presented for student achievement on art exercises from a national art assessment program conducted during 1974-75. Two technical reports document the results of the national assessment. Exercise-by-exercise results are reported in the "Art Technical Report: Exercise Volume" (see TM 006 981). This report, a companion to the Exercise Volume, summarizes results across sets of exercises for various groups of students. The introduction explains how national percentages and differences from the national percentage were derived. Chapter one offers summary statistics on students' achievement on art knowledge exercises. Males' achievement levels were significantly higher than the national average. Blacks performed below the national level, and whites performed slightly above it at all ages. Chapter two reviews affective response summary data. Questions on this part of the assessment dealt with students' attitudes toward art and their open-mindedness toward different styles of art. Whites showed slightly more positive responses than did blacks. In general, degree of participation in art activities influenced degree of positive responses. Chapter three shows a juxtaposition of achievement levels for art knowledge and art affective responses by age groups. For example, it is shown that at age nine, more males than females were positively oriented toward art, but neither males nor females performed significantly differently from the national average on art knowledge.

Recommendations in this report reflect that effort to bring education and tribal affairs closer and so improve education delivery services to tribal people. Recommendations include: (1) that the Indian Education Act be reauthorized for a five year period and that it be funded at a minimum level of $275,800,000 with a minimum staff level of 66 positions; (2) that the Office of Indian Education and the Office of Education institute a coordination policy to insure access to and promote maximum participation of American Indians and Alaska Natives in all programs in the Office of Education and Health, Education and Welfare; and (3) that Indian controlled institutes for higher education be given more support. Recommendations were formulated at council meetings in Arizona, Washington, D.C., Colorado, Texas, and Minnesota; summaries of these meetings are included. An appendix includes descriptions of vocational education discretionary programs, an appeal by a native Hawaiian for support of a proposed amendment to the Indian Education Act to include native Hawaiians, testimony on "A School for Me, Inc." for handicapped Indian children, and distribution options for Johnson O'Malley educational assistance.

The introduction defines human services and briefly discusses some reform movements and whether or not viable change methods are available. Section I discusses the roles of various change participants including the change agent, lobbyist, ombudsman, coordinator, advocate, and citizen participation. Different change processes are examined in the second section. Included among these are project planning management; coalitions; community organization; community development; program evaluation; negotiating and bargaining; social change and the courts; and militancy and conflict. The third and final section treats the future of American human services in the 1980s under four interacting influences: evolving ideologies and social values, emerging technologies, changing administrative practices, and modified program patterns. An appendix contains case studies documenting actual implementation of reform methods in the human services field.

Selected Results from the Third National Assessment of Science. AN - 63734280; ED159026 AB - This is a report by the National Assessment of Educational Progress that contains selected results from the Third National Assessment of Science conducted in 76-77, with emphasis on relative performance changes in achievement from 1969 to 1977. The report describes the data base and methods of measuring changes of performance. It reports on the general patterns of change in science achievement across three age groups; the trend is downwards for the 9 and the 13 year olds, but to a lesser extent than in the first and second assessments, while achievement level of the 17 year olds continues to decline over the three assessments. Students in rural areas have shown consistent improvement in succeeding assessments. The report shows that the achievement level of whites is higher than that of blacks, and that of males is also higher than that of females in all three assessments. In the three appendices at the end numerous tables of results are supplied. (GA) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change) (Selective).

AN - 63757195; ED166122 AB - Information is presented from a study of achievement and interest among students in age groups nine, 13, and 17 in the area of art education. Major objectives of the study were to generate information on how much time students spend enjoying works of art, how important they perceive art to be, how they evaluate works of art, what types of art they prefer, and differences among art activities and attitudes of students in different socioeconomic groups. The document is presented in five chapters. Chapter I concentrates on students' appreciation of art. Findings indicated that substantial numbers of students value art and pursue it in some form. Chapter II presents detailed information about student perceptions of art. Findings indicated that a majority of young people appreciate art but do not indicate a broad or sophisticated understanding of the nature or function of art in American culture. Chapters III and IV examine young people's general criteria for evaluating works of art. The final chapter offers conclusions, including that students have little experience with art museums and galleries, display varying attitudes toward art depending upon their socioeconomic background, and that schools should place more emphasis on aesthetic education programs.

The more than 100,000 individuals who participated nationally were divided into the four following age categories: nine-year-olds, thirteen-year-olds, seventeen-year-olds, and young adults ages twenty-six to thirty-five. Each group completed a group of exercises designed to assess knowledge or skills generally useful in the world of work, knowledge about jobs, self-appraisal skills, work-related experiences, and work-related values. The variables assessed were (1) region of the country and size and type of community; (2) educational level of parents and self, which included parental education, the relationship between grade and age, and the participant's own education and continuing education; and (3) sex, race, and socioeconomics, which included home environment and family income. (The results are presented in bar graphs, and the appendixes provide probability levels of differences between reporting groups within variables and estimates of percentages of blacks, whites, other races, and nations for the young adult participants.)

The water used for this purpose is normally made by distillation. During distillation, the endotoxins in the feed water carry over by entrainment and contaminate the distillate. In order to prevent endotoxins and other impurities from entering the distilled water, the still must be designed to prevent creepage and entrainment. The water in a storage vessel must also be kept sterile and protected from chemical contamination. The apparatus of this invention includes a distillation flask, a carboy and a condenser unit, all of borosilicate glass. A respective filter is provided between the ambient atmosphere and the interiors of the flask, the carboy and the condenser unit to remove airborne bacteria and dust particles. In inlet valve is provided for feeding water into the flask, all water-contacting parts of this valve being of polytetrafluoroethylene. The open parts are interconnected with flexible, polytetrafluoroethylene tubing. A two-way, stopcock allows high-purity water to be removed from the carboy.

Human Services Bibliography Series. AN - 63733471; ED163320 AB - Since the advent of institutional care in the nineteenth century, there has been extensive discussion concerning the relative merits and constraints inherent in such service provision. In the twentieth century, the trend toward institutionalization began to be reversed. Patients or clients were released or returned to communities and community care through increasingly available medical and social resources. The impetus toward the use of alternatives to institutionalization has come from federal legislation and from a continuing loss of institutionalized clientele since the 1950's. These occurrences have caused a great deal of discussion and prompted an examination of the present-day patient or client population's use of state and public institutions and community support services. Possible sources of documented information are presented. (KA) Y1 - 1978/04// PY - 1978 DA - April 1978 SP - 86 PB - Project Share, P.O.

Section 1 provides a brief background description of the program, including the changes made in the 1974 Amendments, a recent budget history, and a description of the program's beneficiaries. Section 2 contains an assessment of the major features of the program and the extent to which they achieve the program's objectives. Specifically, three major issues are addressed: Are school districts adequately compensated for federally imposed burdens? Are impact aid funds equitably distributed in terms of district needs and federal impact? Does impact aid interfere with state equalization programs? In Section 3 a variety of reform options are presented that address the problems described in Section 2. Each of these options is analyzed in terms of its ability to improve current practices. Section 4 combines several of the reforms of Section 3 into three comprehensive reform packages. These address specific reform goals and illustrate the effects of simultaneously changing several aspects of the program. (Author/IRT) AU - Brown, Lawrence L.

AN - 63840508; ED153906 AB - The purpose of this paper is to use data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress to describe changes in performance within the subject area of social studies and citizenship education. The items from the citizenship and social studies national assessments illustrate that trends over time are not uniform within these subject areas. The first assessment of citizenship was conducted during 1969-1970 and the first assessment of social studies was conducted during 1971-1972. Both subject areas were reassessed in 1975-1976. The population sampled were 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds. There are two main sections to the paper: the first describes and analyzes changes in political knowledge and attitudes, while the second describes and analyzes changes in social studies skills, knowledge, and attitudes. Trends indicated declining performance in the area of political knowledge and attitudes. Achievement levels dropped in all the content areas assessed, particularly in knowledge of government and political process. Students' valuing of constitutional rights and respect for others did not decline substantially. Changes in overall social studies achievement appeared related to age level: 9-year-olds showed no significant change; 13-year-olds achievement declined slightly; and 17-year-olds performance dropped substantially.

Selected Results from the Second National Assessments of Citizenship and Social Studies. AN - 63757737; ED166123 AB - This report summarizes a study of citizenship and social studies attitudes and knowledge conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The survey of citizenship was conducted during the 1968-69 and 1969-70 school years; the survey of social studies was administered during the 1971-72 school year. During the school year 1975-76, items from both assessments were reassessed to determine changes in performance. Test items emphasized political knowledge and attitudes in five major content areas: constitutional rights, respect for others, structure and function of government, political process, and international affairs. In this report, the first five chapters describe results for each of the five content areas. Chapter six gives results for different population subgroups, and chapter seven presents interpretive remarks about the data by experts in the fields of citizenship and social studies. Many tables and charts supplement the written text in each chapter. (AV) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change) (Selective).

AN - 63748011; ED160646 AB - With the view that social scientists conduct too little exploratory research, the author outlines the methods and attitudes of the exploratory analyst and describes the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) as a source of research data. Exploratory analysis, in which no paradigm is used, is contrasted with confirmatory research, which is designed to extend a paradigm to the solution of a new problem. Three methods of organizing exploratory research are described: (1) ordinary-concept research, which is organized around concepts or catch words; (2) social problems research, which is organized around important social problems; and (3) mono-method research, which is organized around a particular analytic method. Skepticism about which results are considered true and which are in error, attention to outlying data, and an unwillingness to make assumptions are described as characteristics of the exploratory researcher. Since exploratory research is most often done by reanalyzing data collected for some other purpose, the breadth, precision and accuracy of the survey data available from the National Assessment of Educational Progress is described, with an emphasis on its usefulness to the exploratory researcher. Sample paradigms concerning the conceptual framework of human learning are appended. (JAC) Primary type of information provided by report: Procedures (Theoretical). AU - Burton, Nancy W.

AN - 63829787; ED152191 AB - Current curricula in institutions of higher education are criticized in this speech for their lack of a common core of education. Several possibilities for developing such a common core include education centered around our common heritage and the challenges of the present. It is suggested that all students must be introduced to the events, individuals, the great ideas, and great literature that have contributed to human gains and losses. In the area of present challenges three proposals are made: (1) all students should be required to master the written and spoken word; (2) the functions of social institutions to which we are all tied should be clarified; and (3) the meaning of vocation should be explained.

AN - 63838891; ED155116 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) encountered problems when developing a comprehensive assessment of consumer skills of 17-year-olds in 1978. When NAEP conducted a nationwide assessment of basic life skills of 17-year-olds in 1977, there was considerable interest in the consumer skills portion. Therefore, it was decided to prepare a comprehensive assessment program of skills in areas of personal finance, consumer protection, consumer behavior, economics, and energy. However, because this topic had not been part of the regular assessment schedule, funds and time were limited. A set of consumer objectives prepared by the Duval County Public School System in Jacksonville, Florida was used as a guideline in developing the assessment. Problems encountered during this stage included translation of the Florida curriculum objectives into measurement objectives, and unfamiliarity with developing paper-and-pencil instruments in areas of consumer behavior and economics. During the item reviews, questions were raised about content. Reviewers had difficulty agreeing on whether the items should merely test each student's knowledge of his own behavior, or test knowledge of group and industrial behavior. In solving the problems, efforts were made to simplify language and relate important concepts to particular consumer problems. Plans for administration of the assessment in the spring of 1978 and dissemination of results are also described.

AN - 63836550; ED151270 AB - The report presents a summary assessment of knowledge about traditional Western forms of art among 9-year-old, 13-year-old, and 17-year-old students. Part of national information gathering project related to educational achievement in various learning areas, the report is presented in three chapters. Chapter I examines instruments used to measure recognition of the elements of art, knowledge of art history, and knowledge of criteria for making aesthetic judgments. Comparative results for students in the three age groups are presented. Chapter II offers a comprehensive picture of overall average national performance and reveals results for different subgroups within the national population. Chapter III summarizes assessment results and discusses implications of the results for art educators, parents, and interested members of the community. Findings indicated that students encountered more difficulty with factual questions than with judgmental questions; possessed high interest in and involvement with Western art, even when their knowledge level was not particularly high; and knew more about art when they participated in many types of art activities. Areas identified as worthy of further consideration by art educators centered on curriculum emphasis, student attitudes, and student performance. Appendices include background questions posed to principals of all schools participating in the survey, tables of data, and definitions of National Assessment reporting groups.

AN - 63767235; ED169962 AB - Data based on the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) for the years 1970-71 through 1975-76 are presented that focus on trends in associate degrees and other formal awards below the baccalaureate. Emphasis is placed on comparable data for curriculum categories and divisions, types of institutional units, and classification of awards. The information is useful in forecasting employment opportunities, particularly in relation to the educational and employment status of women, whose enrollments in associate degree programs have been increasing. Degrees and awards requiring less than two years of work are not included, nor are data from non-traditional and non-degree-granting institutions. Highlights include the following: (1) the number of sub-baccalaureate degrees awarded increased by 54.9% in the six-year period studied; (2) although men still outnumbered women among degree recipients, women's representation increased from 42.8% to 46.2% over the six-year period; (3) there was a sharp increase to 48.5% in the number of women receiving degrees in science/engineering curriculums; (4) there was a marked shift for both men and women away from the arts and sciences and general programs toward occupational programs; and (5) the greatest proportion of sub-baccalaureate degrees were earned at two-year public institutions, which showed a 61.2% increase in awards since 1970-71.

The institutions are shown in State order and alphabetically within States for each accreditation. Additional institutional characteristics given for each institution include institutional size, control (public, independent, or other), level (two-year, four-year, or university), and in-state and out-of-state tuition. An index is included indicating where to find data in this report for all professional accreditations that the institution has. As an illustration of its use, perhaps a secondary school student, in attempting to select a college or university to attend, has already selected a field of interest but wants to know what other accredited fields are available at this same institution in order to select a second major, a chief minor, or to have a fall-back position for a potential change of major. This publication will provide some of the information required by students to select an institution that will meet their needs.

It was a preliminary effort to learn something about the extent of state and local effort to meet the needs of this group. It was also an attempt to obtain information about the extent of available data on special programs under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and participation in them by limited-English-speaking persons.

Institutions were chosen for inclusion based upon whether they were historically black institutions. Three of the institutions are currently majority-white student bodies: Bluefield State College (West Virginia), Lincoln University (Missouri), and West Virginia State College. The listing by state includes the location, year established, control, type (two or four-year), 1976 fall enrollment (by percentage black, sex, and attendance status), first-time freshmen enrollment, and the name of the chief executive officer. The findings include: the 1976 enrollment for the institutions totalled 212,118. Publicly controlled institutions enrolled the great majority compared with private institutions even though there are more private than public institutions. Institutions in North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas enrolled the largest numbers of students. Only 16 of the 106 institutions were two-year institutions, and 11 of these were privately controlled. Nearly 88 percent of the students enrolled in the traditionally black institutions were black.

In 1971, 23l,000 master's degrees were awarded in the United States, and 40 percent were awarded to women. In 1976, the total number awarded was 313,000, and those awarded to women had increased to 46 percent. In 1971, women predominated in six fields: education, foreign languages, health professions, home economics, letters, and library science. In 1976, women still predominated in the same six traditionally feminine fields, but women increased their percentage representation in 20 out of 24 fields, suggesting a general, though small, tendency among women to become less tradition-bound in selecting their field of study. The two fields in which women constituted an overwhelming majority in 1971 (home economics and library science) had declined slightly by 1976, and the fields in which women were at least represented in 1971 showed the largest increases in the 1976 data. Education continued to be the favorite field, accounting for 57 percent of all master's degrees awarded to women. Data are presented on the percentage distribution of degrees by academic field for both men and women for 1971 and 1976. Appendices provide data on the numbers and percentages of degrees awarded to women by academic field for each year from 1970-71 through 1975-76. (SW) AU - Brown, George H.

AN - 63749748; ED162162 AB - The majority of women enrolled in noncollegiate postsecondary vocational schools in October, 1976, were twenty-five years of age and over and attended school part-time while working full-time. The enrollment of women of age eighteen and over in noncollegiate postsecondary schools in October, 1976, was almost equal to that of men. When enrollments are examined by age and labor force participation, differences between men and women become apparent. For eighteen- to twenty-one-year-olds, the number of women participating in vocational education greatly exceeded that of men, while the participation rate of women of age twenty-two to thirty-four was considerably below that of men. Women enrolled full-time were primarily in the younger age groups, while the part-time women students were concentrated in the older age groups. Comparing women to men students, sixty percent of the women versus eight-three percent of the men held jobs, seven percent of the women and men were unemployed and looking for work, and thirty-three percent of the women versus ten percent of the men were not in the labor force. Seventy-four percent of the employed women students and ninety percent of the employed men students were full-time workers. Most vocational students (fifty-one percent) had completed high school and thirty-nine percent had some college experience. (EM) AU - Kay, Evelyn R.

AN - 63748664; ED162566 AB - Changes in the percentage representation of women among recipients of first professional degrees are examined between the academic years 1970-71 and 1975-76. The data were collected through the annual Survey of Degrees and Other Formal Awards Conferred. A first professional degree is one that "signifies completion of the academic requirements for beginning practice in a given profession.'" Eight professions are considered: dentistry, medicine, optometry, osteopathic medicine, podiatry, veterinary medicine, law, and theology. While women increased their percentage representation in all eight of these professions, they still constitute a distinct minority in all fields, and available enrollment data suggest that these trends will continue. Data are presented on the percentage of women among first year enrollments in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and law for each year from 1971 to 1976. Women's percentage representation among first-year enrollments increased every year from 1971 through 1976. Data are presented on the relative popularity of the various fields among women seeking a first professional degree, and comparative data for men are presented. Based on the 1976 data, pharmacy is the field in which women are most highly represented, and the fields of law and medicine together account for 86 percent of all first professional degrees awarded to women in 1976. Appendices provide data on the numbers and percentages of degrees awarded to women by professional field for each year from 1970-71 through 1975-76. (SW) AU - Brown, George H.

AN - 63746591; ED165304 AB - Projections of U.S. public elementary and secondary school enrollments and teacher supply and demand for 1978-86 are summarized in this report. Where possible, the grade retention method is used; otherwise projections are based on three alternate fertility rate estimates. Enrollments in elementary schools have decreased since 1970 to 47.8 million in 1978 and are expected to decrease further to 44.5 million by 1983 and 1984. Starting in 1985, enrollments are expected to increase gradually. The most likely K-8 enrollment projection indicates that K-8 enrollment will decrease to a low of 29.9 million in 1985. Enrollment in grades 9-12 is expected to decrease to 13.2 million in 1986. If an intermediate estimate of pupil/teacher ratio is correct, the number of unemployed teachers should decrease slightly from 2.4 million in 1978 to 2.3 million in the early 1980s before climbing back to 2.4 million in 1985. Decreases in elementary enrollment have not always resulted in corresponding decreases in need for elementary school teachers because of decreases in pupil/teacher ratios. Enrollment decreases in secondary schools, however, are likely to be accompanied by significant decreases in teachers employed. There should be more than enough teacher graduates in the reserve pool to ensure a teacher surplus through 1986. (Author/JM) AU - Frankel, Martin M.

The annual report is intended for educators, school boards, legislators, and educational researchers who require up-to-date knowledge of school bond sales for planning future school bond programs. Data, summarized by state, are presented in tables and charts containing information on the number and dollar value of bond issues voted on and passed and the number, dollar value, and net interest of bonds sold. The study revealed several general findings about bond sales nationally. Bond elections reached new lows in fiscal year 1976; only 770 issues were voted on and only 391 were approved. The dollar value ($970) of bond issues approved was the lowest recorded since the study began in 1958. Bond sales for fiscal year 1976 increased slightly over fiscal year 1975.

Final Report. AN - 63741986; ED160027 AB - A survey of fall enrollment in higher education institutions included 3,073 two-year and four-year public and private colleges and universities and their branches. The questionnaire was a combination of two federally-sponsored surveys which had previously been conducted separately: the "Fall Enrollment and Compliance Report" of the Office of Civil Rights and the "Opening Fall Enrollment" survey of the National Center for Education Statistics. As a result of combining the surveys, enrollment data are provided by ethnic group, major degree field, and enrollment by level of institution by State, and enrollment category (undergraduate and postbaccalaureate). Statistical tables are grouped under the following six major categories: enrollment by level of institutions, by state, by institution, by race/ethnicity, by major degree field, and by major degree field and race/ethnicity. Information on the background of the survey and a sample survey report are appended. (SW) AU - Pepin, Andrew J.

AN - 63151498; ED295561 AB - The "Inventory of College and University Physical Facilities" machine-readable data file (MRDF) is a subfile of the larger Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS). It includes basic data on the number of square feet of physical plant space, by type of room, function of room, organizational unit, and instructional program. Data was collected for 1966-67, 1968-69, 1969-70, 1970-71, 1971-72, 1974-75, and 1978-79. The data from the 1978-79 mail survey contains information from approximately 700 randomly selected public and private postsecondary institutions in the United States. One of the primary purposes of the survey was to obtain information as to the accessibility of college facilities and programs to handicapped persons, particularly those with mobility impairments. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that all programs of institutions receiving federal financial assistance have this accessibility. Data is also available on the gross square feet of building space by age of the building, extending from pre-1900 till 1970 in 10-year intervals. Total floor space is divided into "accessible" and "inaccessible" as pertains to mobility-impaired students. Total square feet are given for planned conversion of inaccessible to accessible space, plus estimated modification costs. Estimated enrollment data for mobility, visually, and acoustically-impaired students are included. The total number of beds in institutionally owned or operated housing is provided, along with the number that can accommodate mobility-impaired students. Finally, the accessibility, inaccessibility, and intended conversion of 19 categories of campus rooms is listed in square feet. The attributes of each institution precede each record, for sorting or selection purposes. POPULATION: Higher Education Institutions (>3,200). TYPE OF SURVEY: National Survey; Sample Survey.

AN - 63818372; ED149163 AB - A study of the federal role in the advancement of lifelong learning focused on the probable impact of a federally supported lifelong learning system and the existing educational system on one another. The conditions and parameters of the following claim were examined: any lifelong learning enterprise initially funded by the federal government outside of the existing educational system as nonsequential, nonselective and noncertificatory will be transformed into a system that is sequenced, selective, and certificatory. The conclusions were that (1) any effort to determine federal policy in the case of lifelong learning by the conduct of small-scale experiments is likely to be maximally misleading, (2) there are many opportunities for a small-scale federal role to be quite successful by attaching an increase of lifelong learning opportunities to already existing federal programs, (3) any new initiative in lifelong learning should constitute a rapid expansion of those institutions that are free, accessible, and open to all Americans without discrimination, and (4) some subsidies should be made available for existing institutions to serve new populations. (Much of this report is devoted to showing how a federally supported expansion of lifelong learning opportunities will develop into a system much like the existing educational system, and how that will affect the existing educational system.)

AN - 63842695; ED154036 AB - Recognizing the lack of public confidence in the schools, public officials and educators should discuss the proper use and limitations of competency testing and the implementation of national tests. Competency tests should be used for diagnosis, for certifying that students possess basic skills, and for public awareness. They should not be the sole criterion for assessing competency; furthermore, there are apsects of learning beyond academic achievement which tests do not measure, such as maturity, self-discipline, honesty and judgment. National tests are strongly discouraged for these reasons: they lack local commitment; no test is right for every school; there is no one definition for minimal competency; and they would discourage local experimentation. While each state and school district should develop a competency program, the federal government should and will take a limited role by supporting the following ventures: (1) The National Academy of Sciences will conduct a major test evaluation and usage study; (2) The Education Commission of the States and similar organizations will run workshops and provide technical assistance; (3) The National Academy of Education will establish an advisory Committee on Testing and Basic Skills; (4) The Office of Education's Project on Fundamental Skills will coordinate 13 different federal programs dealing with basic skills; (5) The National Institute of Education will study student failure; (6) Educational television and video-disk Programs will be developed; (7) The critical role of parents in educating their children will be strengthened. Finally, public officials and educators should strengthen their commitment to fairness in admitting minorities to professional schools. (CF) AU - Califano, Joseph A.

AN - 63840186; ED154200 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress studies selected research efforts in the agriculture, economics, and health fields to discover successful strategies for the dissemination and adoption of educational research. Interviews were conducted with people familiar with the Agricultural Extension Movement, Health Examination Interview Surveys, and the Consumer Expenditure Survey as well as with people experienced in the dissemination of educational research information. (Five appendixes contain lists of participants in the study and descriptions of the study methods and resources.) Findings and recommendations included the following: (1) Careful planning of research directions to avoid duplicate efforts requires a good communication structure. (2) Thorough planning and development of methodology and instruments for data collection includes site visits, pretests, and rigorous standards. (3) Positive staff morale needs to be developed; a variety of effective measures are available. (4) Efficient dissemination of research findings involves the use of computer information and retrieval systems, reports, publications, etc.; a model system was found to be the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Current Research Information System. (5) The effective communication of research results to key decisionmakers demands the use of easily comprehensible language and format and the proximity of the researchers to the policy makers to facilitate regular contact and appearances at hearings. The success of adoption of research information depends on linking agents which assume increasing importance for education since so many innovations are at the local level.

AN - 63895881; ED141826 AB - This report focuses on how students across the nation, of three different ages--9, 13, and 17--revise their own writing. The report is based on detailed analyses of two writing assignments: the first required 9-year-olds and 13-year-olds to write and revise a school report about the moon, and the second required 17-year-olds to write and revise a letter of complaint in response to a practical, reasonably complex situation. Approximately 2,500 individuals at each age level responded to one of these exercises. The interaction of such variables as group differences, sex, race, parental education, community type, and region is summarized. Several visual displays of the data obtained are included.

Selected Results from the First National Assessment of Art, June 1977. AN - 63922427; ED141249 AB - The first comprehensive attempt to measure student achievement in art on a national scale at the elementary, junior high, and high school levels is described. The assessment was conducted during 1974-75 with groups of nine-, 13-, and 17-year-olds. This report examines four design and drawing exercises that measure art-production activities. Art production objectives include ability to (1) produce original works of art, (2) express visual ideas fluently, (3) produce works of art with a particular expressive content, and (4) demonstrate application of media and forming processes. This report contains comparative score tables of the three age groups accompanied by drawings which were judged to be acceptable, unacceptable, or above average. The exercises involved drawing people seated at a table as seen from one end, a bedroom wall which incorporates a door, and three children at a playground at various distances from the viewer. In another drawing exercise, students were asked to show motion by using parts of the human anatomy or expressive devices. Techniques included foreshortening, overlapping, tilted planes, and point perspective. Results showed similar scores in males and females, lower scores in blacks and low-metropolitan students, and greatest increases in achievement between the ages of nine and 13. Original plans for comprehensive assessment of art education were curtailed in 1973 by budgetary changes. Additional exercises will be included in the 1978-79 art assessment program.

AN - 63809474; ED143260 AB - Nationally obtained public testimony, evaluations of previous studies, discussions of prior recommendations, examinations of federal reports, and review of federal investigations have identified serious problems that threaten to undermine the integrity of federal student financial assistance programs, as well as public confidence in their administration. The recommendations made by the study group are designed to serve as specific answers for the improved management, delivery, and integrity of these programs. Three key areas requiring resolution are identified and serve as focal points for the report: (1) eligibility and certification procedures for institutions, students, and lenders; (2) delivery systems of the various financial assistance programs; and (3) program management and integrity of the agencies, institutions, and publics involved in federal student assistance programs. Some of the recommendations made in the report have been carried out or are being carried out; others require legislative and/or regulatory action, and some, deliberative review. Recommendations are indexed by subject area. A list of participants in public hearings and a bibliograbhy are included.

Science Technical Report: Summary Volume. AN - 63919320; ED141135 AB - Each year since 1969, National Assessment has gathered information about levels of achievement. This report summarizes the National Assessment study of changes in science achievement for 9-year-olds, 13-year-olds, and 17-year-olds attending schools. Having assessed achievements in science twice, National Assessment can report information on the progress or decline of knowledge in science. Highlights of the study indicate that knowledge of fundamental scientific facts and principles as measured by National Assessment declined among American students between 1969 and 1973. Other data indicate the gap between students in the Southeast and other parts of the nation narrowed between 1969 and 1973. Performance of boys continued to exceed those of girls. Performance of white students also continued to exceed those of blacks. Numerous tables and figures are used to present data.

National Assessment of Educational Progress Report No. BR-2, May 1977. AN - 63916426; ED138414 AB - Data on the achievement of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old Hispanos in school in the areas of social studies, science, mathematics, career and occupational development (COD), and reading were collected between fall of 1971 and spring of 1975. Results were examined in relation to the achievement levels of students in the nation as a whole and those of black and white students. Representing a cross-section of typical schools across the country, the sample consisted of 75,000 students, of which about 2,500 answered a given question. Results were reported by age, region (Northeast and West), sex, and level of parental education. Among the results were: Hispanic achievement was consistently below that of the total national age population and of white students; Hispanic achievement was often closer to national levels than black achievement; the achievement of male Hispanos was consistently closer to national levels than that of females on the science items; and students who reported that one parent had at least graduated from high school was closer to the national level than those who reported that neither parent had graduated. Appended are: definitions of national assessment Hispanic-reporting categories, special analyses of reading items, statistics of the achievement of the white and black groups in each area; and proportion of Hispanic students within the national assessment samples.

Items in these five areas are distributed throughout six packages. These items were constructed to measure performance on the objectives listed in Appendix B. These assessment items can be part of a pool individual teachers may choose from; they can be used as instructional tools; or they can be part of a classroom-, school- or district-wide assessment. In the Spring of 1978, NAEP will publish nationwide results for these items. These and the results from a school or school district will allow national comparisons. The more closely NAEP procedures are replicated, the more valid will be comparisons with the national results. In addition to presenting the locations of the various items, the following information is also provided: a short general description of the item; a NAEP number useful for referring to NAEP results when they become available; an outline code referring to skill areas; and an answer key.

AN - 63808816; ED143736 AB - This paper compares the present official poverty measure with a relative measure of poverty. The comparison is made both conceptually and empirically. These two aspects comprise the two major parts of the paper. Within the first part, the conceptual section, various issues common to both poverty measures as well as the measures themselves are discussed. In the empirical section, both poverty standards (official and relative) are used to examine the extent and incidence of poverty. Particular emphasis is given to geographic comparisons in the incidence of poverty among families and how the incidence has varied between 1967 and 1974. In addition, attention is given to how the choice between measuring family income on a national versus state average affects the geographical distribution of relative poverty. The paper assumes some familiarity with the Federal government's official statistical poverty measure. It is recommended that readers refer to "The Measure of Poverty", a multi-paper report prepared by an Interagency Poverty Studies Task Force, for additional information on this subject.

The purpose of this report is to attempt to summarize performance across all learning areas for each age group separately. Results were selected to provide a useful and interesting overview of what students know and can do. Each chapter of the report contains information about one of the three age groups. The first part of each chapter, "Summaries of Ten Learning Areas," is devoted to a series of short descriptions of the findings for each subject area. The second section of each chapter highlights achievements attained by students. The lists describe the actual achievements of many students, some students, and few students. Readers must decide for themselves whether these actual achievements are adequate or not. The third section, "Patterns of Group Results," summarizes the results obtained for regions of the country, males and females, blacks and whites, different types of communities, and different levels of parental education.

Preceding the report are descriptive highlights of the program. Title XX of the Social Security Act changes the role and relationships of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare; the individual states; and interested citizens with respect to planning, operating, and accounting for the Federal-State social services program. The most notable change and key provision under this legislation is the requirement that each state establish a formal process that includes public participation in the development of the program. The report is divided into three major sections. Section one contains a brief history of social services legislation prior to Title XX (enacted October 1, 1975) and a description of the major features of Title XX. Section two, the core of the report, outlines state implementation of Title XX and describes state approaches to planning and the services provided. Section three describes HEW evaluation and technical assistance activities offered to state offices with respect to the content of individual services programs, program planning, reporting, administration, and evaluation. Several appendices conclude the document, including a glossary of terms, charts, tables, and graphs on services provided to recipients, categories of recipients, and expenditure data by states.

Describing major meetings (held in Nevada, Maryland, Virginia, Wisconsin, Washington, D.C., and North Carolina), this report indicates that during 1976 the Council also recommended re: Title IV program applications; recommended nominees to the U.S. Commissioner of Education for the position of Deputy Commissioner of the Office of Indian Education (OIE); evaluated the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare programs and projects in which Indian children or adults might be able to participate; and attempted to provide technical assistance to educational agencies and Indian organizations. Among the recommendations presented are: that NACIE request the Congress, OIE, and other Federal agencies to fully review Federal assistance to public education of Indian children; that NACIE seek clarifications in existing legislation (re: a broader description of Indian education; more stress on Indian community control; Indian officers in parent committees; the definition of "Indian"; recognition of the special cultural rights of Indians regarding information dissemination).

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper VI. AN - 63922029; ED141464 AB - This technical study is concerned with both the statistical and policy effects of alternative definitions of poverty which result when the definition of means is altered by varying the time period (accounting period) over which income is measured or by including in the measure of means not only realized income, but also unrealized income and wealth itself. The first part of the study examines how various accounting periods and wealth measures of means affect counts of poverty and determine eligibility for assistance programs. The distribution of poverty across socioeconomic classes, as well as transits into and out of poverty under various definitions, is studied. The second part of the study examines the application of means measurements in existing income-conditionined public income transfer programs. The failure of current eligibility rules to count potential income, and the inconsistent use of various asset tests and accounting periods are noted. It is concluded that counts of the poverty population depend substantially upon the length of the accounting period and the extent to which net worth is considered available as means with which to meet consumption expenses during a period. The screening effects obtained by lengthening the accounting period are often similar to those obtained by adding some fraction of net worth to income in measuring means. Thus there are serious equity considerations in choosing the length of the accounting period and the treatment of net worth in measures of means because the share of total welfare going to various groups depends upon these two factors. Existing transfer programs, adopted in piecemeal fashion, have not made explicit their choice among various goals. These programs have adopted conflicting, confusing, and inequitable criteria for eligibility.

AN - 63906946; ED135006 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is an information-gathering project that surveys the educational attainments of 9 year olds, 13 year olds, 17 year olds, and adults (ages 26 to 35) in ten learning areas, one of which is writing. This report focuses on persuasive and explanatory letter writing, representing two basic aims of discourse. The letters, divided into two broad categories of social letters and business letters, were read and categorized by experienced English and composition teachers. NAEP reports the responses to certain exercises of groups of individuals defined according to sex, race, region of the country, level of parental education, and size and type of community. Some of the report's observations are that simple explanatory-writing skills are developed sometime between the ages of 9 and 13 and that persuasive-writing skills are complex and difficult to master.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper IV. AN - 63809190; ED143737 AB - This paper discusses the three hypothetical market baskets of goods and services for which the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes annual cost estimates. This program is referred to as the standard budgets or family budget program. The family budget program provides: 1) estimates of budget levels originally constructed to represent standards of living; 2) interarea indexes of "living costs" based upon these budget estimates; and 3) adjustment factors to convert the budgets for other family sizes and types. Attention is given to the limitations of the family budgets as measures of income adequacy and to their use as indexes of interarea cost-of-living differences. Briefly, the general limitations of the budgets program with respect to defining poverty are: 1) as measures of income adequacy, 2) as measures of interarea cost of living differences, and 3) as adjustment of factors for various sizes and types of families. The paper also discusses the manner of living represented by the market baskets program, price measurement problems, geographic cost of living comparisons, and equivalence scales. In addition, it includes a short section which discusses areas for future research in this program. (Author/AM) AU - Sherwood, Mark K.

(Four age levels--9, 13, 17, and adults aged 26-35--were respondents in the study conducted during 1973-74.) This report presents, via summary data, work-related knowledge and skills, or proficiency levels, of the four age levels and delineates the proficiency of each group according to such variables as region of the country, race (black and white), education level of parents, and size and type of community. Three chapters are included. Chapter 1 briefly discusses major findings. Chapter 2 contains definitions of the population groups and item sets analyzed in the study, and a description of the conventions used to report the data.

The second followup survey, which is reported here, began in October 1974 and ended in April 1975. There were 20,872 who completed a Second Follow-Up Questionnaire. Of those who completed the First Follow-Up Questionnaire, 94.6 percent also participated in the second followup survey. Statistics from both surveys were weighted to provide estimated values for the total population and were computed and tabulated for different subgroups classified by sex, race, socioeconomic status, academic ability, type of high school program, and region; and some two-way cross-tabulations of sex and race with each of the other variables have been done. Specifications of these classification variables are contained in Appendix A. The information presented in this capsule report is based mainly on the second followup and includes what the graduates are doing now, persistence in post-secondary education, participation in jobs, and family and community life.

Sample Design Efficiency Study: Effects of Stratification, Clustering, and Unequal Weighting on the Variances of NLS Statistics. AN - 63829298; ED146189 AB - A complex two-stage sample selection process was used in designing the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. The first-stage sampling frame used in the selection of schools was stratified by the following seven variables: public vs. private control, geographic region, grade 12 enrollment, proximity to institutions of higher education, percentage of minority group enrollment, community income level, and degree of urbanization. Six hundred strata determined the initial sample of 1,200 schools; later, a random sample of 18 seniors per high school was selected. This report considers the effects of stratification, oversampling of schools by percentage of minority group enrollment and community income level, clustering of students within a school and unequal weighting on the variances of the resulting statistics and therefore, on the precision of the sample statistics. Results suggest that school stratification variables reduced the variances of national estimates to twenty percent below what would have been expected with unstratified cluster sampling. Of the five major stratification variables: socioeconomic status, size of school, type of control, geographic region, and proximity to college or university; region is the strongest variable and type of control is the weakest.

Placing emphasis on what individuals can do to avoid or mitigate the personal effects of the baby boom's undesirable and overwhelming influence on the labor market, the author encourages realistic and strategic career planning and mandates for new guidance techniques, while he discourages a liberal arts education and unrealistic expectations by both parents and students.

Attrition is defined as withdrawal from college without completing a degree. After 2 years, the four-year institutions had lost 23.5 percent of their entrants. More two-year college students, 39.3 percent, withdrew without completing a degree. Private schools and schools with higher than average admissions test scores had lower attrition rates. The majority of students who left college did so for nonacademic reasons; those who worked full time withdrew at nearly double the rate of those with a part-time job or no job at all. Black and Hispanic students withdrew somewhat more frequently than white students, but in 4-year institutions there were no differences in attrition when adjustments were made for socioeconomic background.

Fast Response Survey System Report No. 3. AN - 63824882; ED146875 AB - The survey, conducted by a private research firm under contract to the National Center for Education Statistics, had as its purpose to provide national data about the use of part-time financial aid staff and counselors in higher education institutions. It was found that the use of part-time staff was widespread, occurring in 79 percent of undergraduate institutions (for about 10,000 part-time employees); however, only one of every three institutions used part-time counselors. These institutions used students hired under the College Work-Study Program (CWSP) more than they used other students or nonstudents as part-time employees. Four-year colleges and universities are more likely than two-year colleges to use part-time personnel. Almost half of the institutions planned to introduce or expand the use of part-time counselors, with the major increase planned for CWSP students. If current practices and plans are carried out, 60 percent of the institutions will be using part-time counselors. Part-time counselors' services were generally rated by their employers as adequate or very good, with nonstudents rated somewhat higher than students. The cost for salaries for nonstudents was reported as the greatest deterrent to their increased use; the greatest deterrent to the use of students was high turnover.

National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. AN - 63755441; ED168396 AB - Some findings about attrition from two- and four-year colleges and universities are presented based on NCES's National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. Attrition is generally defined as withdrawal from college without completing a degree; in this report, students who had attended courses in the first two years after high school but did not attend in fall 1974 are defined as withdrawn unless they had completed a two-year program. It is shown that after two years, the four-year institutions lost 23.5 percent of their entrants, which is a lower rate than most earlier studies reported, with estimates ranging from 21 to 46 percent. (However, the figures are not strictly comparable, since other studies usually measure attrition four years after entering college.) Among two-year college students, 39.3 percent withdrew without completing a degree, so two-year colleges clearly lost more students than four-year institutions did. Private schools and schools with higher than average test scores for entering students had lower attrition rates. The majority of students who worked full-time withdrew at nearly double the rate of those with a part-time job or no job at all.

Section I reports that the number of degrees awarded increased substantially at every level (bachelor's, master's, doctor's, and first-professional). Section II focuses on the number and proportions of men and women at each degree level and shows increased representation by women. Tables in Section III emphasize the number of degrees awarded by control and level of institution, indicating a decreasing proportion of degrees awarded by private institutions. Section IV analyzes the pattern of degrees awarded, by discipline division and by level for the five-year period 1970-71 through 1974-75. Discipline divisions that experienced the largest changes in numbers of degrees awarded are further analyzed in terms of specialties. At the bachelor's level, changes in numbers of degrees awarded in selected specialties (and thus changes in manpower supply) are compared with the projected labor demand for workers in these areas, using information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The inventory provides a benchmark for facilities against which current conditions may be tested by persons in various organizations (e.g., institutional, state, regional, and national). The study is built on an actual inventory of space, based on a classification system codified in the "Facilities Inventory and Classification Manual, 1973." By employing a standard set of definitions and format for data collection, individual institutions may meaningfully compare themselves with other institutions. In addition to statistical tables, the report contains a guide to use of data and a summary of findings. The summary concerns trends, building characteristics, room-use, average square feet per full-time-equivalent student, program category, and housing. A sample survey questionnaire is appended.

AN - 61808648; ED155222 AB - The National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 (NLS) is periodically surveying a large national sample to chart their educational, vocational, and personal development and to relate this information to earlier experiences, plans, and personal characteristics. This report describes the class in terms of the short-term post secondary education plans they had while in high school, the fulfillment of those plans the following fall (October 1972), and the extent to which those who began a post secondary education in October 1972 were continuing this education one year later. Sixty percent of the class planned to attend a post secondary education institution; 53 percent actually attended a college or school in October 1972; and one year later the figure was 46 percent. Of the seniors not planning to attend school, very few actually attended a post secondary institution the following fall. Four-year college continuance rates were very high, but continuance rates for those attending two-year colleges or vocational-technical schools were lower. Very few respondents made transitions from a non-post secondary education activity to post secondary education between October 1972 and October 1973. In October 1972, 40 percent had jobs while attending post secondary institutions. The data are presented according to six variables: high school curriculum, academic ability, socioeconomic status, race or ethnic group, sex and geographic region.

After presenting a brief summary of the background, the introduction describes the purpose of the citizenship assessment kit, which was to measure student achievement in citizenship and social studies. Chapter two reviews requirements for replicating the NAEP assessment model so that valid data comparisons can be made. The third chapter explains how to read the NAEP survey results, the exact meanings of the column headings in the tables, and the possible percentage of error. The final chapter suggests an approach for studying and analyzing assessment scores. The appendix consists of four question-by-question tables, showing the percent correct and standard errors for all 13-year-olds, all 17-year-olds, 13-year-olds in the eighth grade, and 17-year-olds in the eleventh grade. The students are further differentiated according to geographic region, sex, race (black or white), level of parental education, and size and type of community. This supplement contains no summary level results since they can be found in ED 135 705. (CK) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Exercise Level).

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper XIII. AN - 63918622; ED141432 AB - This paper examines some of the implications, including geographic and residential considerations, of adopting a relative poverty defintion which would fix the poverty threshold at some proportion of median income. The major virtues of such a definition are that it is explicitly relative and it is easy to understand and construct. The major flaw is that, in the absence of a major shift in the income distribution, the proportion of persons in poverty would remain constant over time. The evidence in this paper indicates that such a poverty measure would have the effect of identifying as poor a nearly fixed proportion of the population. In the absence of significant shifts in the income distribution, the proportion of the population in poverty would not be lowered by a growth in the average level of real income. Using a definition based on median income would also allow the possibility of introducing inter-area differentials through the use of sub-national medians. However, even though the application of a single national poverty standard causes some inequities, the data suggests that the adoption of a poverty standard based on sub-national medians would create its own inequities. The only realistic way of introducing inter-area differentials into a poverty definition is to develop a survey which will produce acceptable data on inter-area differences in living costs.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper X. AN - 63919023; ED141430 AB - This technical report describes the impact that a definition of poverty based on the household unit, instead of on the currently used family unit, would have on the status of unrelated individuals and on the status of those family members who live in a household in which unrelated individuals are present. This information is based on a special tabulation of the March 1975 Current Population file which shows the poverty status of unrelated individuals based on (1) the current official definition of poverty, and (2) a definition of poverty in which a household concept was used in place of the family concept. For those unrelated individuals who live with a family, the tabulations also show the official poverty status of the family. It is shown that the change to a household-based concept would not affect the poverty status of persons who live alone or persons who live only with relatives, but it would affect the poverty count among unrelated individuals who do not live alone and among family members who live in a residence in which unrelated individuals are present. A definite statement on the relative merits of the household over the familial concept cannot yet be made. The issue depends upon the economic relationship between or among household members. The addition of questions to the Current Population Survey which would allow tabulation of data for non-familial spending units is a possible solution. The spending unit concept is subject to some ambiguity, however, because persons may share some basic expenses and not others. In the absence of spending unit information, it would be useful to periodically publish poverty counts based on the household concept.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper XII. AN - 63922367; ED141431 AB - The federal government uses various guidelines for identifying the poor for eligibility in public assistance programs and for measuring the economic well being of the population. In 1974, the United States Department of Agriculture revised its existing low-cost, moderate-cost, and liberal food plans and in 1975 replaced the economy food plan with the thrifty plan. These plans incorporated the recommended dieterary allowances set in 1974 and food consumptions patterns from the 1965-66 Survey of Household Food Consumption, the most recent such survey. This technical report consists of five papers which cover in detail what the food plans are, how they were developed, and how they have been revised. They include: (1) a description of the United States Department of Agriculture Family Food Plans for 1974; (2) a description of the Thirfty Food Plan, which replaced the economy plan in 1975 as the least costly of the food plans; (3) a discussion of the effect of household size on the cost of diets that are nutritionally equivalent, including a description of the economy of scale factors which are used in estimating the cost of food at home for families of different sizes; (4) issues and answers about the Thrifty Food Plan; and (5) a description of food plans, comparable to the Thrifty Plan and the low-cost plan, developed using nutritional criteria that differed from those used for the United States Department of Agriculture plans.

The first chapter presents an overview of survey results. Findings indicate that 13- and 17-year-olds express similar social and political attitudes, have a high degree of respect for human rights, and favor political participation. The second chapter defines the variables and describes the conventions used to report the data. Social attitudinal trends, including opposition to discrimination, support for equal-housing opportunities and racial trust, are described in chapter three. An assessment of political attitudes is included in chapter four. Knowledge of criminal rights, court role, constitutional rights, presidential power, government functions, political parties, the United Nations, and methods of changing laws is measured in chapter five. The final chapter discusses political education in the schools. Findings indicate that course work in civics is an important factor in student performance and interest.

AN - 63903766; ED130312 AB - Three expressive writing tasks from the 1974 national assessment of writing are summarized and discussed in this report. Results indicated that for a majority of students, first-draft expressive writing is unstructured and lacking in coherence. The tendency to integrate feelings and to organize them in coherent expressions develops between the ages of 9 and 13, with some further development between 13 and 17. The proportions of good, expressive papers written by females, by students whose parents have post-high school education, and by students from relatively affluent communities are greater than the proportions for males, blacks, children of the poorly educated, and children who live in relatively impoverished areas. The capacity to enter into an imaginary situation with a controlled and consistent point of view grows steadily with age, though even at age 17 almost half the students are unable to do this competently. Sample papers and a copy of the revised National Assessment of Educational Progress writing objectives are also included in this report.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper V. AN - 63920644; ED141426 AB - This paper provides a general description of the Consumer Price Index, giving special attention to the applicability and reliability of this survey data for revising or refining the current poverty measure. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is a statistical measure of the average change in prices of goods and services purchased by urban wage and clerical workers. The first section of this technical paper describes the construction of the current index, which is based on revisions introduced in January of 1964. A description of another set of revisions implemented in the Spring of 1977 is reviewed in the second section. The empirical evidence relating to the sensitivity of a price index to the expenditure patterns of groups of consumers other than urban wage and clerical workers, in particular low income consumers, is reviewed in the next section. The final section of this paper considers the advantages and disadvantages of developing a price index specifically targeted to the poor. The conclusion reached is that at this point the high cost of the construction of a price index for the poor outweighs its apparent usefulness, and a recommendation for a price index for the poor cannot be made.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper XV. AN - 63920667; ED141433 AB - In this report, all readily available federal consumption data (as of July 1975) are analyzed for differences in the costs of consuming food, clothing, housing and other expenditures using several residential definitions. There were two specific objectives to this study: (1) to analyze the data on the cost of these items for differences among various residential classifications for the U.S., and (2) to determine to what extent the analysis of available information could support differentials in the pvoerty definition based on residence. Two approaches were used in this analysis. The first involved exploring available data from a variety of sources to obtain insights into variations in the living cost. This survey approach concentrated on data made available since the 1960-61 Consumer Expenditure Survey, the most recent readily available nationwide source on expenditure patterns. The second approach explored the possibility of obtaining variations in family living costs by residence using a budgeting technique. It is concluded that there appears to be no strong basis upon which to make a decision concerning residential differentials in a poverty threshold using available consumption data. Although differences in food and housing costs were apparent among various residential classifications, it would be difficult to develop simple residential differentials that would be equitable. The interaction between these two items and other components of the family budget is also unclear. Any decision on cost-of-living differentials would still be arbitrary without better data as a basis for judgment.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper VII. AN - 63917978; ED141427 AB - This technical paper summarizes what is known about the receipt of in-kind income; that is, benefits that take a non-cash form. These benefits may be provided by the government (food stamps, Medicare, etc.), or the private sector (health insurance, free housing, etc.). The problem addressed in the paper is the development of a theoretically acceptable, yet empirically implementable, methodology for converting in-kind income into its equivalent cash income from the perspective of the direct recipient. The conversion depends on the preferences of individual recipients and on the precise parameters of the in-kind subsidy. The paper focuses on four types of in-kind benefits (food stamps, public housing, Medicaid, and Medicare) since data on other types of in-kind benefits are sparse. For these four types, impacts across families and across states are sizeable. The paper also discusses how to value the increase in income from in-kind subsidies and it shows how individual recipients may be affected differently by the receipt of in-kind income. Some of the findings include the following: (1) in-kind income makes many persons and families better off, though they may not be better off to the full extent of the provider outlays on the in-kind goods; (2) in order for in-kind income to be treated consistently with cash income the provider cost of in-kind subsidies must be reduced to its cash equivalent value to recipient families; (3) empirical findings show the cash equivalent value of various in-kind subsidies to be significantly below government cost, and (4) the average cash equivalent values will vary sharply across families by income level, family size, and other demographic characteristics.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper VI. AN - 63920625; ED141435 AB - This technical paper examines how different poverty standards can change the statistical description of the low income population. It supplements a chapter in a report submitted to the U.S. Congress in 1976 titled, "The Measure of Poverty". The poverty measure currently used in Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (the Census Bureau definition of poverty) and alternative poverty definitions which were selected for analysis by the Poverty Studies Task Force are described in this paper. The characteristics of the poverty population in 1974 under the current federal definition and under the various alternative poverty defintions are presented based on data from the March 1975 Current Population Survey. In addition, changes over time in the size and composition of poverty populations such as the elderly, female headed families, school aged children, and blacks under the alternative measures are analyzed. A discussion of the impact of the alternative definitions on the geographic distribution of the poor based on the One Percent Sample of the 1970 Census of Population is also included. The effect of the alternative poverty definitions on the number and characteristics of the poor varies the most with two basic changes in the poverty definition: first, large increments in the level of thresholds, and second, elimination of the variations by family size. The subgroups that deviated most from the general pattern noted for the total population of declining poverty rates under the fixed measures and fairly constant poverty rates under the relative measures between 1967 and 1974 were the elderly and persons in families with a female head.

The document is designed to be used by over 1,600 district and school personnel who have the responsibility for conducting assessments using the National Assessment of Educational Progress guidelines (NAEP). It provides information on the assessment process, performing assessment tasks, and analyzing assessment results. Topics discussed in the 12 chapters include looking at requirements for replicating the NAEP survey; setting an assessment schedule; selecting students to be assessed; performing preassessment tasks, assessment tasks, and postassessment tasks; scoring assessment booklets; and analyzing results and comparing them with NAEP data. Teachers are instructed to follow manual directions closely so that differences between individual students and the national sample will be the result of "real" causes rather than inconsistent assessment procedures. Five appendices include a discussion on survey sampling; scoring guides; listing of assessment questions, answers, themes, and objectives; citizenship objectives; and definitions of National Assessment reporting groups.

AN - 63911511; ED128785 AB - Results from the first and second rounds of the reading assessment conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress are discussed and compared, with conclusions based on comments by a panel of six reading specialists. Changes in reading ability between the 1970-1971 and 1974-1975 school years are dependent on the age of the pupils and the type of reading required. For nine-year-olds, improvement was recorded in all reading skills, but was most noteworthy in reference skills. Black nine-year-olds improved even more dramatically than did nine-year-olds as a whole, which the panel suggested might be attributed to successful intervention programs in the primary grades. Reading ability at ages 13 and 17 changed little. Both ages improved slightly in literal comprehension but declined in inferential comprehension. Students of all ages demonstrated little difficulty in comprehending literal, straight-forward written material, but comprehension dropped off quickly as soon as the tasks became more difficult. Girls read better than did boys, at all age levels. (Author/AA) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Change) (Selective).

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper XVII. AN - 63922124; ED141434 AB - This study is a two-part analysis aimed at determining what differences occur in the incidence of poverty when different definitions of income are employed and when the time frame of analysis is changed. The first part of the analysis concentrates on school-aged children, while the second part studies families. The study is based on data from the Survey Research Center's Panel Study of Income Dynamics, for the years 1968-1972. For the analyses of school-aged children, all children in the panel between the ages of 5 and 18 in the spring of 1972 were counted, resulting in a sample of 5,834 children. For the family analysis those families in 1972 which included a male head from 1968, a female head from 1968, or the wife of a male head in 1968 were counted, resulting in a sample size of 4,010 families. In general, adjustments to annual family money income to account for certain costs of receiving income, and for certain non-money components of income, result in little change in the rank ordering in economic status of familes and children. The results also show that the incidence of poverty is higher for children than for families, by all measures. Although adjustments to annual money income can change a family's economic position, especially in moving it out of the poverty classification, the time period covered appears to be a more influential factor. A crude assessment of the effects of changing the measure of poverty on the relative number counted as poor in different sub-national areas was attempted. The results are inconclusive. Various policy implications stemming from the results of this study are given. (Author/AM) AU - Coe, Richard D.

These are: (1) the official statistical poverty definition, (2) program eligibility guidelines of the Community Services Administration, (3) public assistance or independent eligibility in other welfare program guidelines, and (4) general types of poverty guidelines such as (a) a single dollar amount for all families, (b) higher percentages of the official Federal or Community Services Administration poverty lines, (c) percentage of median income, and (d) unspecified eligibility critera. It is noted that some programs use more than one type of definition of poverty. The remainder of the paper is organized by department or agency and describes, for each, the major poverty-related programs and their administrative guidelines and legislative usages. This paper does not list all programs which significantly benefit the poor, but only those that make use of poverty terminology.

The skills assessed are basic to many employment situations; knowledge about jobs involves both knowledge about facts common to many jobs and knowledge about specific jobs. Skill assessment covers the areas of computation and measurement, graphic and reference-materials, written-communication, and manual and perception. In addition to collecting data on national performance levels, the NAEP analyzes results from various groups within the national population. Chapters 1 and 2 present major findings, and definitions and methodology used in reporting the data. Chapers 3 through 8 provide exemplary exercises and a summary of results for the skills areas and job knowledge assessed. Chapter 9 describes results for variables which were conclusive or similar for the total population. Explanatory tables (24) and figures (32) are provided throughout the document.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper III. AN - 63920141; ED141424 AB - This study reviews the existing literature on a series of issues associated with the defintion and measurement of poverty, and it consists of a summary report covering this research (Volume I), and an annotated bibliography (Volume II). Eleven specific issues were identified and reviewed in this study: (1) the historical definitions of poverty, (2) the use of index numbers in the measurement of poverty, (3) family size and composition adjustments on measures of poverty, (4) geographical variation in public service provision by type of service, (5) regional income differences, (6) wealth and assets and consumption as measures of poverty, (7) poverty standards and the consumption of leisure, (8) determinants of the turn-over rates of poor families, (9) social and economic proxies for poverty, (10) social indicators of poverty, and (11) state administrative definitions of poverty. In developing the annotated bibliography and summary report, an exhaustive literature search was conducted. The literature is primarily drawn from the disciplines of economics, sociology, and political science. Unpublished working papers and doctoral dissertations from several major universities were also reviewed, as well as a number of relevant government documents. The literature review showed that poverty definitions currently used by states in administering their poverty programs is inadequate, since very litte research has been done in this area.

AN - 83252649; 14997596 AB - The ability of UV-irradiated herpes simplex virus to form plaques was examined in monolayers of CV-1 monkey kidney cells preexposed to UV radiation at different intervals before virus assay. From analysis of UV reactivation (Weigle reactivation) curves it was found that as the interval between cell UV irradiation (0-20 J/m2) and initiation of the virus assay was increased over a period of five days, (1) the capacity of the cells to support unirradiated virus plaque formation, which was decreased immediately following UV exposure to the monolayers, increased and returned to approximately normal levels within five days, and (2) at five days an exponential increase was observed in the relative plaque formation of irradiated virus as a function of UV fluence to the monolayers. For high UV fluence (20 J/m2) to the cells, the relative plaque formation by the UV-irradiated virus at five days was about 10-fold higher than that obtained from assay on unirradiated cells. This enhancement in plaque formation is interpreted as a delayed expression of Weigle reactivation. The amount of enhancement resulting from this delayed reactivation was several fold greater than that produced by the Weigle reactivation which occurred when irradiated herpes virus was assayed immediately following cell irradiation.

The first three papers describe case studies of substantial efforts in inservice education: a thirty-year child study movement devoted to the proposition that there are enormous individual differences among children which can be fully appreciated only in the context of each child's total personality; the Urban/Rural Program efforts to generate community-oriented inservice teacher training programs; and the attempt of Montgomery County, Maryland, public schools to mount a comprehensive teacher education program that would represent the needs both of the district and of individual teachers. Two papers address the future: a description of alternative conceptions and definitions of inservice teacher education and suggested languages which would permit us to talk coherently with one another using a wide variety of concepts; and a speculation on the meaning of general cultural change. Three papers explore multicultural education. (JMF) AU - Brandt, Richard M.

James Boyer presents a model that can be used to sort out the varieties of inservice teacher education and its governance focusing on the need for multicultural education. Kenneth R. Howey presents an analysis of a teacher center developed by the Minneapolis Public Schools and the University of Minnesota to prepare teachers to operate in open classrooms. A group of papers deals with three aspects of social change which are becoming increasingly important to the creation of inservice teacher education programs: job sharing, current and pending legislation; and the problems generated by the extension of the school downward to include younger children. Papers representing the views of the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association regarding inservice teacher education are also presented. (JMF) AU - Yarger, Sam J.

AN - 63979867; ED127009 AB - Emphasizing the competition developing for HEW funds, this speech discusses the future role of federally funded programs to meet the needs of children. Reference is made to the conservative vs. liberal debate over the role of government in providing family services. For child advocates, it is proposed that the most critical part of the controversy centers on the question of the effectiveness of human services programs and particularly child services programs. Agencies must convince Congress and the general American public that their programs are having a positive effect. The social and political impotence of children is considered, as is the question of who should dominate childrearing practices: the family or the government. The importance of parent and community involvement in decision-making is stressed, and the development of different programs for the needs of different communities is recommended. The importance of working for a particular community and gaining its support is seen as the way of achieving an effectiveness that is recognizable by both those providing funds and those being served.

It Deals with measuring the current status of the poor rather than with the causes or solutions to poverty. The current measure of poverty used is the Orshansky poverty definition; but in addition, other measures used include dollar cut-offs unadjusted for family size, various percentiles of the income distribution, and various percentages of median family income. The study examines regional, climatic, metropolitan, urban, suburban, and rural differences in the poverty measure; the differences due to family size and head of household; and the availability of state and other subnational data more currect than the decennial census, including cost of living, cost of housing, labor market and job availability. Among some of the major discussion areas addressed by the report are the limitations in the official measure of poverty, various proposals to change the official poverty measure, and standards of poverty for the working poor compared with those dependent largely on public programs for support.

AN - 63908176; ED129839 AB - The first National Assessment of Music, conducted in 1971-72, measured the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of 9 year olds, 13 year olds, 17 year olds, and young adults, resulting in estimates of proportions of people in the population who have certain attitudes toward music, knowledge about music terminology, notaion and history, and musical performance skills. For the assessment of performance skills, new types of exercises and administration procedures were designed, and scoring criteria for the variety of performance tasks were developed. Standard instructions were given at all levels, and responses were recorded so they could be evaluated and scored later by trained music educators. The scorers counted errors in completeness, pitch, and rhythm, and the summary of these was the score for overall quality. In each category, the error rate determined whether a performance was "markedly deficient" or not. This development of methodologies for constructing items and scoring criteria for measuring musical performance skills across a wide range of abilities in the population was a pioneer effect.

Test score means and standard deviations and weighted percentage distributions of answers to Student Questionnaire items are presented for the total population and each of 11 subgroups defined by the three classificatory variables. The subgroups formed in this report are consistent with those that will be utilized in summarizing data obtained from NLS followup surveys. The tables provided in computer-printout form are intended to make basic information available to educational policymakers and researchers without the delay encountered during preparation of conventional statistical analyses andnormal publication refinements. These basic tables form part of the statistical data base of NLS. With those produced earlier, they present all the data the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) plans to publish on the Base-Year Survey as such. The data, however, will be utilized along with followup survey data in preparing a set of analytical reports based on longitudinal analyses of the NLS data base. (RC) AU - Fetters, William B.

AN - 63970787; ED127240 AB - This study discusses the National Assessment of Educational Progress's national survey of educational achievement in art and demonstrates that it is feasible to evaluate children's drawings obtained with free response assessment techniques. Four art production exercises, each calling for pencil drawing responses, were administered during 1974-1975 to a sampling of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds. Four scoring systems were developed. To be considered valid each dimension within a scoring system had to be made mutually exclusive and constant across age groups, cover the variety of responses generated by different ages, and be sufficiently replicable to be useful for assessing changes in performance. Persons of high academic ability who had previous experience in judging and codifying written test responses were selected as scorers. None of them had any art training. Two additional persons with advance training in art were selected to train the scorers. Results show that the four scoring systems met the conditions necessary for their adequacy. Careful attention to scoring system exercise development and scorer selection and training makes it possible to test art achievement. The study includes one sample exercise and a scoring guide. Appendices include scored sample responses. (Author/RM) Primary type of information provided by report: Procedures (Scoring); Results (Respondent Examples). AU - Knight, Sarah S.

The Measure of Poverty, Technical Paper VIII. AN - 63922026; ED141428 AB - This technical paper describes the latest consumer expenditure survey for the period of 1972 to 1974. The survey is a comprehensive source of detailed information on the expenditure patterns and savings behavior of American consumers in relation to their income and other characteristics. The first part of the paper describes the most recent survey, its sample design, questionnaire content, and general limitations. Section 2 reviews the major uses of data provided by the survey. The discussion focuses on the survey's usefulness for deriving measures of poverty, indicating both strengths and weaknesses. The basic conclusion is that, while the data collected in the survey are ideal in most respects for construction of alternative poverty measures, for both needs and income the sample size is not large enough to support meaningful analysis of breakdowns cross-classified by income, family size, geographic location, and Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas of residence. Section 3 discusses the preliminary results of the survey in terms of changes in basic spending patterns for food that have occurred since the last survey.

(Information for this report, developed in the Adult and Vocational Education Surveys Branch of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), came from the May 1972 Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted by the Bureau of the Census. The first survey in the series was conducted in 1957 and defined participants as non-full-time students 14 years old or older, instead of beginning at age 17 as in the present study.) The four chapters included are titled Survey Background and Procedures, Numbers and Characteristics of Participants and Nonparticipants in Adult Education, Course Programs in Adult Education, and Sponsors of Adult Education. The major portion of this report consists of tables (52) providing socioeconomic items arranged in five general groups: (1) Major demographic characteristics (age, regular school competed, race, and sex), (2) income (total family income), (3) work experience (class of worker, employment-unemployment status, occupation, and men's veteran status), (4) relationships (marital status, relationship to household, and number of children under age 17), and (5) location (geographic region and metropolitan status). A glossary, methodological consideration, selected bibliography, and survey instruments are appended. (SH) AU - Okes, Imogene E.

AN - 63906538; ED134954 AB - This document provides statistical data on the 1974 and 1975 Mini-Assessment of Functional Literacy, which was designed to determine the extent of functional literacy among seventeen year olds in America. Also presented are data from comparable test items from the 1971 assessment. Three standards are presented, to allow different methods of evaluating the results of the assessment, which contained exercises selected to represent the types of reading materials encountered frequently in everyday life. The desired performance level was set at 100% of all exercises, the highest level of performance expected was designated, and the minimally adequate performance level was set at successful completion of 75% of the exercises. Highlights of the assessment include three exercises in which the students' performance declined markedly (a passage on Colorado mountains, a report card, and a sign on horsepower) and four exercises in which students improved markedly (two help-wanted ads and two coupons). Three exercises in which performance was consistently low were an insurance policy statement, a book-club application, and a traffic ticket. In 1975, over 87% of the students answered 75% of the items correctly. (MKM) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Technical Summary). AU - Gadway, Charles J. AU - Wilson, H.A.

Data, summarized by state, are presented in tables and charts containing information on the number and dollar value of bond issues voted on and passed, and the number, dollar value, and net interest cost of bonds sold. In 1975 approval of public school bond issues averaged 46.0 percent of the dollar value and 46.3 percent of the number of issues proposed. Although these rates were down from 1974, the $3.6 billion in reported bond sales represented an increase over fiscal year 1974. The 1975 average net interest cost for all bonds was 6.27 percent. A regression analysis showed that the factors significantly affecting net interest cost were the length of term, timing, bond rating, and type of issuer. (Author/IRT) AU - Barr, Richard H.

Chapter I gauges the impact of the year's key economic trends on productivity, wage rates and earnings, and employment and unemployment, including changes in the labor market situation of major demographic, occupational, and industrial groups. Chapter II presents a discussion of the history of the unemployment insurance program, the major problems that beset it during fiscal 1975 as a result of the recession, and some of the major policy issues that have arisen in part because of the unusual strain on the physical and financial capacity of the system in that year. Chapter III examines special attributes of the building trades: Economics of the construction industry, the labor force, wages and benefits, operation of construction labor markets, and equal employment opportunity in construction. Chapter IV reviews in detail the first full year of operations of the Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CETA). Chapter V discusses other national developments including the Work Incentive Program (WIN), the U.S. Employment Service, and apprenticeship programs. Chapter VI, "Two Hundred Years of Work in America", is a review focusing on four topics: The workers , the changing nature of work, earnings from work, and work and security. Also included is the report on veterans services (employment and unemployment, employment and training services, and outlook) and statistical appendixes.

The five tabulations list enrollment data by sex of student, full- or part-time attendance status, and level of study for each of 3055 institutional units, with state subtotals. Total enrollment in institutions of higher education increased by almost a million, to 11,290,719, in fall 1975 from the total reported a year earlier. These data are for students taking work creditable toward bachelor's or higher degrees or toward formal awards below the baccalaureate at institutions in the United States and its outlying areas. As for several years, enrollments in public institutions gained more than in private institutions both in number and rate of increase; in two-year institutions, both public and private, much more than in four-year institutions. Part-time enrollments continued to increase at a faster rate than did full-time enrollments; but after years of slower gains for men than for women, in fall 1975 the enrollment of men almost matched the rate of gain for women, lacking only a very small fraction of a percent.

AN - 63821010; ED146805 AB - This report summarizes the language background information and certain demographic characteristics of language minorities in the United States. The data were derived from the Survey of Languages, a pilot study of the non-English-language background population aged four and older sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics as part of the July 1975 Current Population Survey of the Bureau of the Census. Thirteen percent of the population of the U.S. aged 4 and older in July 1975 lived in households in which languages other than English are spoken. There are over 25 million persons in these households. Spanish speakers constitute more than two-fifths of all speakers of other languages. Excluding speakers of Spanish, speakers of other languages are estimated to be 10 million: 1.8 million speak Italian, 1.5 million speak French, and another 1.4 million speak German. Speakers of Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Filipino languages, Portuguese, and Korean number between 100,000 and half a million each. There are 1.6 million persons in the U.S. aged 4 and older who do not speak English, three quarters of whom are adults. Fewer than half of the individuals who usually speak Spanish and French are foreign born, in contrast with speakers of other languages.

Preliminary Analysis of Trends in College Student Migration. AN - 63754856; ED167038 AB - Data and a brief analysis of migration of college students are presented. Information is presented on: enrollment by control of institution and "origin" of student for 1958, 1963, 1968, and 1975; net migration of college students and percent of student residents remaining in home state institutions for these four years; residence and migration of all students in fall 1975 for all institutions, all publicly controlled institutions, and all privately controlled institutions; and residence and migration of first-time undergraduate students for all institutions for fall 1975. Data are also presented by type of school, level of institution, and level of enrollment for fall 1975, and data allow examination of state outmigration, inmigration, and net migration. Tables include the ratios of students remaining to students enrolled and to student residents. A greater percentage of students were enrolled in colleges in their home state than in previous years, but care must be taken in interpreting this finding since legal residence requirements have changed since the 1968 survey. Public institutions had a larger percentage of students who remained in the same state than did private institutions. Community colleges and other 2-year institutions enrolled a larger percentage of their students from within the state than did 4-year colleges and universities. Comparative data for males and females and data on foreign students are included. (SW) AU - Petersen, Richard J. AU - Smith, Carolyn R.

The study was conducted during the 1972-73 school year by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The mathematics assessment included six major content areas: numbers and numeration, measurement, geometry, variables and relationships, probability and statistics, and consumer mathematics. Each chapter summarizes results for one content area and indicates trends in ability illustrated by results for selected exercises. Concepts from all content areas are usually introduced at the elementary level and are then reinforced and expanded at higher age levels. In addition to age levels, the assessment also provides results for the following groups within the national population: sex, race, region of the country, level of parental education, and size and type of community. Results for the different population groups are not given for each content area but are discussed in the data summary from all content areas.

AN - 63977433; ED113736 AB - This report, part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) survey, describes one facet of the national assessment of writing. The students--9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds who constitute the sample for the NAEP studies--were told to use their best writing but were not told that their papers would be examined for mechanical correctness. The data on mechanical correctness obtained from an examination of these papers during the 1974 survey are compared with the data obtained from the 1970 assessment. Richard Lloyd-Jones of the University of Iowa (Iowa City) and Ross Winterowd of the University of Southern California (Los Angeles) offered the following observations about the writing assessment results: there is no evidence that the schools must "go back to basics" because the basics seem well in hand; language is always changing, but new ways of writing may not be worse in any defensible sense; writing is inextricably tied to reading; "Edited Standard English" as taught in most schools is one dialect of English; there are fewer rewards for being a good writer; and increasing class size results in fewer writing assignments.

AN - 63589811; ED194431 AB - This document contains 99 exercises from the 1971-72 social studies assessment. The intended audience is researchers who need detailed information about the exercises and state and local educators who want to use the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) exercises in their own assessment programs. The document includes a copy of the exercise, complete documentation about administration and scoring procedures, and the national percentage results. The exercises are classified according to the three broad areas of attitudes, knowledges, and skills. They are either multiple choice, short answer (one or two words up to several sentences), or longer answers (paragraph or more). In the 1971-72 assessment of social studies, 9-year-olds, 13-year-olds, 17-year-olds and young adults aged 26-35 were asked a variety of questions designed to measure achievement of five broad educational objectives in social studies. These objectives are (1) that Americans should have curiosity about human affairs; (2) that they should use analytic-scientific procedures effectively; (3) that they should be sensitive to creative-intuitive methods of explaining the human condition; (4) that they should have knowledge relevant to the major ideas and concerns of social scientists; and (5) that they should have a reasoned commitment to the values that sustain a free society.

AN - 63979693; ED113526 AB - The bulletin presents data taken in the fall of 1973 for the National Center for Educational Statistics' National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. The study surveyed approximately 22,000 high school seniors in 1,200 schools in the spring of 1972. Sixty-two percent of vocational-technical, 24 percent of general education, and 12 percent of academic students indicated that they had received specialized training intended to prepare them for immediate employment upon graduation. Of those who had looked for work in areas where they could use their specialized training, about 80 percent of the vocational-technical and academic students and 77 percent of the general students found jobs. Approximately 87 percent of vocational-technical and 80 percent of academic and general students who worked in training related jobs expressed satisfaction with their training. Although a generally high rate of approval was found, especially among business and office occupations students, two aspects of specialized training were criticized fairly often. First, many persons, especially health and home economics students, did not find their high school training useful in their on-the-job training programs. Second, many persons, especially agricultural and trade and industrial students, would have liked more experience in their training area before starting to work.

AN - 63985615; ED111693 AB - The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is an information-gathering project that surveys the educational attainments of 9-year-olds, 13-year-olds, 17-year-olds, and adults (ages 26-35) in various learning areas. All areas are assessed by a group of educators who design objectives for each area and create measurement tools appropriate to the objectives. When the exercises prepared by the test developers have passed extensive reviews by subject-matter specialists and measurement experts, they are administered to probability samples of various populations. Approximately 100,000 persons participate annually in these exercises. This report includes information on the ability of American youth to utilize the inquiry skills stressed in the new science curricula. The students participated in eight individualized activities which included the use of scientific apparatus to conduct testing procedures and simple experiments, the application of knowledge to the observation of materials in order to make generalizations, and the demonstration of principles by using models. Descriptions are given of the eight activities which were designed for students of ages 9, 13, and 17, and specifications are included for the sample populations which took part in the study. The results of the assessment are reported for each activity and include a breakdown according to geographical region, sex, color, parental education, and size and type of community.

These concepts are viewed as embedded in the social context of welfare department attempts to influence welfare mothers to use family planning and the related criticisms which welfare rights protagonists have recently voiced. Structured interviews with 58 welfare workqrs and 300 welfare mothers in one metropolitan Tennessee county reveal that heterophily characterizes these two groups in social and demographic characteristics, birth control attitudes, family size norms, and abortion attitudes. It is further suggested that this heterophily may partially account for welfare workers' limited conformity to the change agent role in family planning counseling with their clients. A number of innovative solutions are proposed to deal constructively with public welfare problems in family planning, some of which have shown promise in other health programs here and a broad.

The nationwide assessment was conducted during the 1972-73 school year by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Respondents at four age levels were included: 9-year-olds, 13-year-olds, 17-year-olds, and young adults ages 26-35. The items on consumer mathematics skills were administered to individuals (probability samples) chosen in such a way that results could be generalized to an entire national population. The first chapter of the report describes results for problems involving money, using such skills as averaging and calculating percent and proportion. Chapter 2 discusses results of household problems involving estimating unit prices and converting units of measure. Chapter 3 examines the ability to read and interpret graphs. Chapter 4 deals with skill in computation of averages and percents. Chapter 5 summarizes the results. Data are reported for various groups within the national population.

The survey instrument was an open-ended letter, a format chosen to allow unlimited response. A 58 percent response rate was achieved. Responses were categorized into those relating to the overall philosophy and operation of the programs, and those relating to specific programs. Caution was exercised to prevent "prioritizing" or evaluating the merit of individual issues, and in the report, direct quotations are used liberally to reflect the respondent's viewpoint.

For each age population, group data was calculated and reported by region, sex, color, parents' educational level, and size and type of community. The application of singular value decomposition of nonsquare matrices to this data is described and its relationship to principal components analysis and its data reduction value is explained. Exploratory analyses are being conducted to determine if the same bases occur across age levels, across time from one assessment to its reassessment, and across subject areas. Emphasis will remain on trying to relate the characteristics of exercises to major differences in performance through the use of orthogonal components.

The first paper concerned the development of an evaluation plan for the alternative American Studies program in the eighth through twelfth grades of the Shawnee Mission, Kansas, school district, during the 1973-74 school year. This plan called for three output measures: (1) a factual achievement test, (2) a study of habits and attitudes, and (3) a student opinion grid. The SSHA Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes was chosen for use, along with a teacher-developed Student Opinion Grid. Later, National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) items were designated for the core of neutral items in the factual survey; this American Studies Factual Knowledge Survey is appended. The second paper explained the use of the NAEP exercises, which are administered on a national basis to young people and adults, for classroom, teacher and individual student evaluation.

A Look at National Assessment Results in Eight Learning Areas in the Light of Community Influence: A Special Report to Urban School Districts. AN - 64033101; ED106399 AB - How do size of communities and varying socioeconomic levels affect educational success? Is there a relationship between these factors and success in learning? This report is an attempt to look at National Assessment findings over the first four years, beginning in 1969 and ending in 1973. The National Assessment of Educational Progress is an information gathering project which surveys the educational attainments of 9, 13, 17 and 26 to 35-year olds in 10 learning areas. Data were gathered in the learning areas of science, citizenship and writing the first year; reading and literature the second year; social studies and music the third year; mathematics and science for the second time, the fourth year, or 1972-1973. In other words, change data were first reported in science and appeared in print in March 1975. Looking at results for the various sizes and types of communities (STOC groups) National Assessment considers in its reports, some evidence can be found of persistent patterns of educational attainment. The results in the area of reading are most indicative and underlie all other learning areas. Classification into type of community was based on occupation and place of residence, plus information about communities in which the respondents lived or attended school, but not about the individual.

Technical Analysis Paper. AN - 64053979; ED103951 AB - This paper reports on the results of an analysis of the distribution of Federal aid to education, an analysis also intended to illuminate the conflicts that can result from allocating funds on the basis of different standards. The study classifies districts on three measures--family income, property wealth, and degree of urbanization--and examines the flow of Federal funds to priority districts in each group. Following an introduction, section 2 examines the methodology used in assessing Federal funding allocations. Sections 3-5 examine the district distribution for three of the major Federal funding categories: Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), School Assistance in Federally Affected Areas (SAFA), and State-Discretionary Federal Grants. Section 6 considers the impact of all Federal elementary and secondary school support in the aggregate, including some relatively small programs not included in the three major program areas. The final section discusses some implications of these analyses for Federal policy. An appendix contains printouts for individual States, for regions, and for the nation, displaying the per-pupil expenditure in detail for each Federal program component.

Concrete information is presented in the progress or decline of knowledge in science. It is reported that knowledge of fundamental scientific facts and principles has declined among American students. Data reported are based on an estimate of the percentage of individuals in a given age population who responded acceptably to a given question. To assess the growth or decline in attainment on a given question, the difference between performance in 1969-70 and 1972-73 was obtained. National results by age level are reported. Also presented is how groups of individuals responded to certain exercises. The groups are characterized by age, sex, race, region of the country, level of parental education, and size and type of community. A brief section includes putting the data into perspective.

This section deals with the privacy rights of parents and students. The statute provides parents of students with access to official records directly related to the students and with an opportunity for a hearing to challenge such records on the grounds that they are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate. Institutions must obtain the written consent of parents before releasing personally identifiable data about students to other than a specified list of exceptions. Further, parents and students must be notified that these rights exist, that these rights transfer to the students at certain points, and that an office and review board must be established in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to investigate and adjudicate violations of and complaints about this statute.

AN - 64057003; ED109735 AB - In 1974, approval of public school bond issues, averaging 56.2 percent of the dollar value and 53.0 percent of the number of issues voted on, reflected a decrease of 2.8 percent in dollar value and an increase of 8.3 percent in number of issues over the year before. These changes are the more significant in light of the downward trend of recent years. Since 1968 (when 67.6 percent of proposed bond issues were approved), approvals have declined, falling to lows of 46.7 and 47.0 percent during 1971 and 1972. In 1974 only seven states accounted for approximately $1.3 billion of the $2.2 billion approved value. Although approvals remained down, the $3.0 billion in reported bond sales was an increase of $50 million over the $2.9 billion of fiscal year 1973. The 1974 average net interest cost for all bonds of 5.35 percent was up 44 basis points from the 1973 average of 4.91 percent, indicating an increase in public school borrowing costs. The 6.49 percent monthly average net interest cost recorded for June 1974 was the highest since the 6.68 percent reported for June 1970. The number of bond sales has decreased over the past decade.
