Abstract | The National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88), a longitudinal study sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics, provides trend data about transitions experienced as young people develop, attend school, and embark on careers. The study began with a national sample of about 26,000 eighth graders in 1988 and follows these students at 2-year intervals through high school and further. Findings of the base year are summarized, drawn from the descriptive summary "A Profile of the American Eighth Grader" by A. Hafner and others (1990). Characteristics of sample members, in-school and out-of-school experiences, and aspirations and choice behaviors are described. The paper is divided into three sections: (1) background on the study; (2) cross-sectional findings from the NELS:88 base year, with 24 tables and 16 graphs; and (3) issues for the next wave of data. Appendix 1 describes generating the sample; Appendix 2 gives a chart of key questionnaire items. (SLD) |
