Abstract: The High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is a
nationally representative, longitudinal study of more than 20,000 9th
graders in 944 schools who will be followed through their secondary and
postsecondary years. The study focuses on understanding students'
trajectories from the beginning of high school into university or the
workforce and beyond. What students decide to pursue when, why, and how
are crucial questions for HSLS:09, especially, but not solely, in
regards to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses,
majors, and careers. This study will include a new student assessment
in algebraic skills, reasoning, and problem solving and like past
studies, will survey students, their parents, math and science
teachers, school administrators, and school counselors. This first wave
of data collection for HSLS:09 will produce not only a nationally
representative dataset but also ten individual state representative
datasets for each of ten states. The attached change memo reflects
changes to the survey instruments and operations based on results of
the field test conducted in the fall of 2008.
