How are NAEP data and assessment results used to explore education and policy issues? What technical assistance does NAEP provide?
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) grants members of the educational research community permission to use NAEP data. NAEP results are provided in formats that the general public can easily access. Tailored to specific audiences, NAEP reports are widely disseminated. Since the 1994 assessment, all reports and data have been placed on the World Wide Web to provide even easier access. In addition, NCES periodically offers seminars to stimulate interest in using NAEP data to address educational research questions, enhance participants’ understanding of the methodological and technological issues relevant to NAEP, and demonstrate the steps necessary for conducting accurate statistical analyses of NAEP data. These seminars are advertised in advance on the NCES website. Research using NAEP data is supported by grants from several sources.
