Using On-Line and CD-ROM Database Archives as an Adjunct to Teaching Survey Research Methods Behavior Research Methods, Instruments, and Computers 33,2 (2001): 141-148.

Many undergraduate courses in research methods include a section on surveys. A number of practical issues can interfere with the design and implementation of student survey research and often preclude the completion of well-designed survey studies. This paper examines the use of on-line and CDROM databases as an alternative to student-designed survey instruments. Problems faced by student survey researchers can often be addressed by the use of such databases, rather than by “live” surveys. Data from experimental research collected on line are also available and downloadable for analysis, providing even greater flexibility for analysis. Advantages and problems of using archival databases in the teaching of survey research are considered. A brief list of databases that may be suitable for student research is provided, and a list of URLs, including where and how to obtain archives, is given. |

NLSDBA: The National Longitudinal Surveys on Compact Disc Behavior, Research Methods, Instruments, and Computers 23,2 (1991): 212-213. Also: http://www.springerlink.com/content/c850615775r41141/ Cohort(s): NLS General, NLSY79 Publisher: Psychonomic Society ==> Springer Keyword(s): NLS Description; NLSDBA CD-ROM Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper describes the NLSDBA software developed by The Ohio State University's Center for Human Resource Research which allows users of NLSY data on compact disc to easily search for variables and create an extract file of up to 1,024 variables. A description of the NLSY, including both the ongoing study of 12,686 youth aged 14-22 as of January 1, 1979 and the panel of children aged 0 to 18 of the female respondents, is followed by a brief overview of types of information available for the youth and children. Personal computer (PC) requirements and execution times are included. |
