Abstract	The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a survey of the educational achievement of American students and changes in their achievement across time. The NAEP has collected information for over 20 years to assist educators and policy makers. This guide intends to: document current NAEP methods for both state and national assessments; increase understanding of the philosophies and procedures of the NAEP; and demonstrate the consistency of the NAEP design as an indicator of academic achievement, including the 1990 and 1992 Trial State Assessment program. The guide is organized around 17 questions and answers covering: (1) the nature of the NAEP and identifying characteristics of the 1990 and 1992 assessments; (2) the NAEP's organization and management; (3) how the NAEP meets its goals; (4) trends and new assessments for 1990 and 1992; (5) the size of the NAEP sample; (6) how subject matter is determined; (7) the nature of the assessment questions; (8) bias against population groups in the NAEP; (9) contextual background data provided by the NAEP to help decision makers interpret the achievement results; (10) sampling methods; (11) how students are selected; (12) how cooperation of schools is ensured; (13) scoring problems; (14) analysis of results; (15) reporting of results; (16) the NAEP scales; and (17) reports for the 1990 and 1992 assessments. Fourteen publications are cited, which provide additional information about NAEP procedures and results. (SLD)
