National Assessment of Educational Progress, 2006

Description

The National Assessment of Educational Progress, 2006 (NAEP 2006), is a study that is part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) program; program data is available since 1990 at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/naepdata/. NAEP 2006 (https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/) is a cross-sectional survey that assesses what America's students know and can do in various subject areas. The study was conducted using computer-based assessment of students. Students in grade 4, 8, and 12 were sampled. NAEP 2006 assessments consist of national assessments in civics and U.S. history at grades 4, 8, and 12, and economics at grade 12. The study's response rate was between 78 and 86 percent. Key statistics produced from NAEP 2006 are results on subject-matter achievement, instructional experiences, and school environment for populations of students (e.g., all fourth-graders) and groups within those populations (e.g., female students, Hispanic students).
