Restricted Databases:  Institute of Education Sciences (IES): Assessments Early Childhood Elementary / Secondary International Library Postsecondary

Public Databases:  Illinois Interactive Report Card (IIRC):

Commercial Databases:  Survey of Enacted Curriculum

Commercial Databases:  California Critical Thinking Skills Survey

Your own:  Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug (ATOD)

Data Collection Techniques to collect data  Observations  Interviews  Questionnaires (open- ended questions)  Documents  Audiovisual materials Qualitative  Exploration of the unknown.  Understanding of a central phenomena. Quantitative  Trends or explanation of relationships among variables.

Data Analysis Textual analysis (Qualitative)  Perform preliminary exploratory analysis  Code the data  Create themes  Summarize findings (choose narrative discussion) Statistical analysis (Quantitative)  Descriptive statistics  Inferential statistics

Sample of ATOD Survey Questions

Validity “Whether an instrument measures what it is suppose to measure” Appropriateness, correctness, meaningfulness, and usefulness of the specific inferences made from data

Reliability Consistency of scores obtained from individuals Are results repeatable from one administration of instrument to another?

Validity and reliability

Assessing reliability Test-retest reliability Alternate (Parallel) forms reliability Alternate (Parallel) forms & test-retest reliability Internal consistency reliability Inter-Rater or Inter-Observer reliability

Internal consistency reliability

Inferential statistics Generalizing from samples to populations
