Title of Collection: High School Longitudinal Study of 2009
(HSLS:09)--Third Follow-Up.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0852.
Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total
Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 11,600.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,933.
Abstract: The High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is
conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), part
of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) within the U.S. Department
of Education. The HSLS:09 base-year data collection took place in the
2009-10 school year, with a randomly selected sample of fall-term 9th-
graders in more than 900 public and private high schools with both 9th
and 11th grades. This fall 2009 cohort of 9th graders has been followed
over time, with follow-up interviews in spring 2012 and summer-fall
2013 and a collection of administrative records (such as high school
transcripts). HSLS:09 data allows researchers, educators, and
policymakers to examine motivation, achievement, and persistence in
STEM (as well as non-STEM) coursetaking and careers. More generally,
HSLS:09 data will allow researchers from a variety of disciplines to
examine issues of college entry, persistence and success, and how
changes in young people's lives and their connections with communities,
schools, teachers, families, parents, and friends affect these
decisions.
This request is to conduct the third follow-up of the High School
Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09). This submission includes
materials and justification for the HSLS:09 third follow-up and
includes approximately 23,000 sample members who were in 9th grade in
2009 during the base-year data collection. Most of the data for the
third follow-up will be obtained by administrative data matching.
Sample members will also be invited to complete a brief web survey. In
addition to supporting statements, this submission includes: a
membership list of the Technical Review Panel (TRP) (appendix A); a
description of the confidentiality procedures in place for the
administrative record matching (appendix B); study communication
materials (appendix C); and the survey instrument (appendix D).
This submission covers HSLS:09 third follow-up materials and
procedures required for administering a brief survey for sample members
and administrative records matching. This submission is designed to
adequately justify the need for and overall practical utility of the
third follow-up study, presenting the plan for the data collection and
providing as much detail about the measures to be used as is available
at the time of this submission. For this full-scale study NCES will
publish a notice in the Federal Register allowing for an initial 60-day
public comment period and then an additional 30-day public comment
period.
