Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report constructs a profile of the 225,000 eighth graders attending Catholic schools in the United States in 1988 and compares them to eighth graders attending public schools. The analysis focused on themes of excellence and equity. Study data were taken from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988. The study design incorporated a clustered, stratified national probability sample of approximately 1,000 schools (approximately 800 public schools and 200 private schools), with an average of 25 students in each school participating. Following an introduction, chapter 1, "Catholic Schools and Their Eighth Grade Students," provides an overview of Catholic schools with eighth grades; compares them to public schools, with particular attention to urban areas; and notes that with respect to achievement, urban Catholic students clearly outperform their public school counterparts. Chapter 2, "Experiences of Eighth Graders in Catholic Schools," focuses on subjects that students take, extracurricular activities, perceptions of teachers, and parent participation. Chapter 3, "Academic Performance of Eighth Graders in Catholic Schools," reports reading and mathematics test scores by behaviorally anchored proficiency scores, and reports history/social studies and science test scores by quartile. Included are 10 tables, 7 graphs, an appendix of methodological and technical notes, and 27 references. (JB)

This book was released on 1992 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) is the third in a series of longitudinal studies sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics. This report profiles the mathematics and science instruction received by eighth graders (11,414 surveyed in mathematics and 10,686 in science) in public and private schools in 1988 and proposes to trace the participants into the 10th and 12th grades. A preface lists highlighted findings, tables, and figures included in the document. The body of the report consists of five chapters. Chapter I discusses the purpose and format of the report and limitations of the study. Chapters II and III examine the relationship of various aspects of mathematics and science instruction to students' socioeconomic status and race-ethnicity and type of school attended. Among the aspects examined were the major topics taught, average class size, hours per week attended, allocation of class time, assigned homework, availability of instructional materials, student attitudes toward mathematics and science, and teacher characteristics and qualifications. Chapter IV examines mathematics and science achievement test scores in relation to the various components of instruction measured in the study. Chapter V provides a descriptive profile of the mathematics curriculum, the science curriculum, teacher characteristics and qualifications, classroom characteristics, school type differences, and students' opportunity to learn based on the findings. Appendices that describe the methodology employed and standard errors of estimates reported in tables and figures in the text are provided. (MDH)

This book was released on 1992 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) is the third in a series of longitudinal studies sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics. The NELS:88 is being conducted in several waves, beginning with a base year experience of approximately 25,000 eighth graders. This report profiles the family characteristics and the level of involvement reported by the parents of 1988 eighth graders, using the base year survey and dropout data from the first follow-up. About 93 percent of the parents of the first year sample were interviewed to provide information about home life and family experiences. The parent component is not, however, a representative sample of eighth graders' parents. Their inclusion is linked to the student participants. This study examined child-directed involvement, including activities such as parent-child discussions and school-directed involvement such as parent-teacher association membership and volunteering in the school. There was some indication that parent involvement was related to whether or not students scored below the basic level in reading or mathematics proficiency, but there was a strong relationship between parent involvement and whether or not a student dropped out of school between the 8th and 10th grades. There are 26 tables and 18 figures presenting study findings. (SLD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors examine a broad range of Catholic high schools to determine whether or not students are better educated in these schools than they are in public schools. They find that the Catholic schools do have an independent effect on achievement, especially in reducing disparities between disadvantaged and privileged students. The Catholic school of today, they show, is informed by a vision, similar to that of John Dewey, of the school as a community committed to democratic education and the common good of all students.
