Chapter 2: Sampling and Weighting in the National Assessment

Keith F. Rust and Eugene G. Johnson

Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 1992, vol. 17, issue 2, 111-129

Abstract: This chapter describes procedures for obtaining the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) student samples used in the national and state assessments and for deriving survey weights for use in the analysis of the survey data. Following the description of general procedures, more detailed discussion is included about several issues that relate to the procedures used. In some cases, these involve procedures that NAEP is actively reviewing and investigating, with a view toward implementing improvements in the future. In other cases, the procedures, although well established in NAEP, involve technical aspects with interesting features not fully described in the available technical reports.
