NLSY97 Schooling NLSY97 Schooling ObjectivesObjectives
• Correct NLSY79 seam problem– Re-reporting enrollment status for a particular
month– Event history format
• Correct NLSY79 grade reversals– Verify/correct status from last interview
• HGC, HGA, & enrollment status– Event history of schools
• Account for inconsistencies due to changing schools – Event history of grade attendance (loops)
• Account for skipping/repeating grades– Collect/confirm data from other sources
• Parent questionnaire• Transcript data
• Collect detailed information on schools
NLSY97 Questionnaire NLSY97 Questionnaire StructureStructure
(YSCH-, NEWSCHOOL_)(YSCH-, NEWSCHOOL_)• Confirm status at last interview date
– Highest grade attended/completed & enrollment • Confirm and correct prior round data• Report information for current round
• Report schools attended since last interview– Enrollment periods at each school
• Survey program creates NEWSCHOOL roster– Schools listed in the order reported
• ‘Loop’ though questions specific to each school– Primary & secondary schools– Colleges
Data Collected on Each Data Collected on Each Primary/Secondary SchoolPrimary/Secondary School
• For each school – School type– Grades and dates attended
• Gaps in attendance• Suspensions
– Program of study in high school
• General Schooling data– SAT/ACT scores– Expected graduation date– Diploma/GED receipt
Data Collected for Each Data Collected for Each CollegeCollege
• School information – Public/private– IPEDS code in Geocode data
• Credit progression– Number began at school with
• Sources
– Attempted per term– Earned per term– Number required to graduate
Each College…Each College…
• Per term information (loops)– Beginning date– 1st and 2nd majors– Full/part time status– GPA– Cost and financing
• Degree – Type received – Date received
Other Schooling InformationOther Schooling Information• YSCH: School-based learning programs
– Enrolled in grades K-12– Time spent on work site
• Days or weeks & hours
– Amount if paid– Classes taken in conjunction with school
• YCOC: College choice section (round 7+)– 1983 & 1984 birth cohorts– Term & year of applications– Applied for financial assistance– Acceptances including financial aid offered– IPEDS code in Geocode data
Parent Questionnaire (PC8-)Parent Questionnaire (PC8-)• Relevant ages
– Age at 1st grade– Age at 7th grade– Age attended head start
• Historical schooling information – Skipped and/or repeated grades– Gaps in attendance (1 month+)– Took classes during break
• Special programs– Remedial, Special, Gifted, or Bilingual
Education
• Parent interviews for 88.4% respondents– Collected in 1997
Transcript Survey (TRANS_)Transcript Survey (TRANS_)• School information
– Summary information• If, when, and why left school• GPA, class rank• Graduation requirements
– Participation in programs• Special, Gifted, or Bilingual Education
– Scores on standardized tests• PSAT, ACT, SAT, AP, other
• Academic year information– Absent & tardy spells– Credit weighted GPA – % New Basics credits earned
Transcript Survey…Transcript Survey…• Term information
– Month/year enrolled, academic year– Credits earned & Grade level (e.g., 7th, 8th)
• Course information– Subject Code– Credits earned and standardized grades
• Notes– Collected from last school attended– 2 waves
• 1999-2000 & 2004 [TRANS_STATUS]• Survey year for both=1999
– Transcript data for 69.4% respondents
Data Source SummaryData Source Summary• Pre-survey schooling history
– Parent Questionnaire– YCHR section in NLSY97 interview
• R6-R9: Grades skipped/repeated
• Current schooling history– NLSY97 Interview
• Single Item Verification• Event History
• Retrospective high school history– Transcript Survey
• High school course history• Final outcome
NLSY97 Intended Results NLSY97 Intended Results • More complete picture of educational
history– Transition from middle to high school [for some]– Transition between schools
• E.g., high school to high school
– Transition out of high school
• Additional data on schools attended• Additional data on types of courses taken• Information on alternative trajectories
– Alternative schools/home schooling– Unique situations
• Incarceration• Pregnancy
Desired OutcomesDesired Outcomes
• Within the survey round– HGA>=HGC– Grade level changes only if enrolled
• Between survey rounds & other sources– HGC never decreases– The highest degree received never
decreases– Grade consistency
• Prior round survey grades• Transcript grades
NLSY97 Unintended ResultsNLSY97 Unintended Results
• More sources=more chances for conflict– Within surveys
• E.g., HGC doesn’t match event history grade
– Between surveys• E.g., R8 HGC<R7 HGC
• Reporting problems in the event history– Unknown dates
• Problematic for grade confirmation
– Report 1st grade at school not since DLI
• Data harder for researchers to use

Round 9 High School Data Round 9 High School Data ReviewReview
• Most raw data are mostly consistent over time
• Resources– 10 years of respondent reported data– Transcript data– Parent questionnaire
• High school careers mostly completed– Received high school diploma/GED– Enrolled in a degree college without a
diploma/GED• Not in a GED program
– Aged out of high school (age 20+)
Resolving Raw High School Resolving Raw High School DataData
More sources=more conflicting data• Use sources from all rounds
– Parent Questionnaire– Transcript Data– Corrections
• Verification questions• Comments
– Expected graduation date
Resolving High School Data…Resolving High School Data…
More sources=more conflicting data…• Use data from rounds after left high
school– Diploma question (r7 and beyond)– Long term out of school status &
verification• Bad grade progression, graduated on
time– Impute if graduate on time given the
grade reported at the 1st interview
Resolving High School Resolving High School Data…Data…
Reporting problems in event history• Unknown dates and grade completion
– Impute if enrolled in the next grade sequentially
• Unexplained grade reversal then progression– Impute when 1st grade reported was completed
before at the same school & verification supports this
Raw data harder for researchers to use• Created variables summarize raw data
– Created after conflicts resolved
