This webinar will present the latest findings from current large-scale empirical research using data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in Geography. Session content will feature forthcoming articles in a special issue of the Journal of Geography.
The first 20 minutes will be devoted to the results of a descriptive analysis of geography achievement in the United States, 1994-2018.
The next 20 minutes will focus on research by doctoral students who used the NAEP Data Explorer to address questions about student achievement and classroom-level “opportunity to learn” variables (e.g., curriculum content and exposure, teacher training, teaching experience, instructional modalities, and processes). Attendees will receive copies of NAEP data reports for small-group discussion and reflection.
