Why Did The Black-White Score Gap Narrow In The 1970s And 1980s? In: The Black-White Test Score Gap. C. Jencks and M. Phillips, eds. Washington, DC: Brookings Institution, 1998: pp. 182-226 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Brookings Institution Keyword(s): Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Education; National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP); National Education Longitudinal Survey (NELS); Racial Differences; Test Scores/Test theory/IRT Grissmer and his colleagues look at several different educational changes that may have had an impact on the rise in black students' test scores. They find that some changes in education appear to have mattered more than others. To determine how trends in test scores are related to other social changes, the authors relate National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data to family characteristics from the Current Population Survey and the National Education Longitudinal Survey and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. |
