Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the methodology report for the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 follow-up in 1986. The fifth follow-up survey of the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 (NLS-72) took place during spring and summer of 1986. A mail questionnaire was sent to a subsample of 14,489 members of the original sample of 22,652. A total of 12,841 persons returned the questionnaire, for a response rate of 89 percent. By the time of the survey, the sample members averaged 32 years of age and had been out of high school for 14 years. The fifth follow-up marked the first time that NORC conducted the NLS-72 survey. This report: (1) summarizes the base year sample selection procedures, and describes in detail the selection procedures for the fifth follow-up survey; (2) describes the calculation of sample case weights that adjust for differential probabilities of selection and for nonresponse within weighting cells; (3) examines the possible impact of survey nonresponse, a potential source of bias; (4) presents a description of nonresponse rates among various subclasses of the fifth follow-up sample; (5) describes procedures for computing sampling errors and design effects; and (6) discusses the approach NORC has taken to this problem. Sampling errors and design effects are presented for a set of proportions for the entire sample and for important domains or subgroups. Several "rules of thumb" are offered for estimating standard errors under various circumstances. The following are appended: (1) Weights and Nonresponse Adjustments; and (2) Design Effects and Sampling Errors.

Book Improving Measurement of Productivity in Higher Education

Download or read book Improving Measurement of Productivity in Higher Education written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-01-18 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education is a linchpin of the American economy and society: teaching and research at colleges and universities contribute significantly to the nation's economic activity, both directly and through their impact on future growth; federal and state governments support teaching and research with billions of taxpayers' dollars; and individuals, communities, and the nation gain from the learning and innovation that occur in higher education. In the current environment of increasing tuition and shrinking public funds, a sense of urgency has emerged to better track the performance of colleges and universities in the hope that their costs can be contained without compromising quality or accessibility. Improving Measurement of Productivity in Higher Education presents an analytically well-defined concept of productivity in higher education and recommends empirically valid and operationally practical guidelines for measuring it. In addition to its obvious policy and research value, improved measures of productivity may generate insights that potentially lead to enhanced departmental, institutional, or system educational processes. Improving Measurement of Productivity in Higher Education constructs valid productivity measures to supplement the body of information used to guide resource allocation decisions at the system, state, and national levels and to assist policymakers who must assess investments in higher education against other compelling demands on scarce resources. By portraying the productive process in detail, this report will allow stakeholders to better understand the complexities of-and potential approaches to-measuring institution, system and national-level performance in higher education.
