The Education Longitudinal Study of
2002 (ELS:2002) is a nationally representative study of two high
school grade cohorts (spring 2002 tenth-graders and spring 2004
twelfth-graders) comprising over 16,000 sample members. The study
focuses on achievement growth in mathematics in the high school
years and its correlates, the family and school social context of
secondary education, transitions from high school to postsecondary
education and/or the labor market, and experiences during the
postsecondary years. Major topics covered for the postsecondary
years include postsecondary education access, choice, and
persistence; baccalaureate and sub-baccalaureate attainment; the
work experiences of the non-college-bound; and other markers of
adult status such as family formation, civic participation, and
other young adult life course developments. Data collections took
place in 2002, 2004, 2006 (two years out of high school), and now
will take place in 2012, when most sample members are around 26
years of age. The third follow-up field test was conducted in 2011.
This submission requests OMB's approval for the third follow-up
2012 full scale data collection.
The decrease in respondent
burden associated with this submission is due to the shift from
student data collection to the collection of postsecondary
transcripts and financial aid student records from
institutions.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
