代码代写｜EPS700 Quantitative Methods I (Fall 2022) Collaborative Project Part I: NHES School Readiness Survey

The two primary, repeating early childhood surveys are the School Readiness (SR-NHES) and Early Childhood Program Participation (ECPP-NHES or ECE-NHES) surveys. The School Readiness survey was conducted in 1993 and 2007, with a limited number of questions asked in the Parent-NHES survey of 1999. The Early Childhood Program Participation surveys occurred in 1991, 1995, 2001, and 2005, with a subset of questions also asked in 1999.

The National Household Education Survey, 2007 School Readiness (SR-NHES: 2007; https://nces.ed.gov/nhes/surveytopics_early.asp) is a cross-sectional survey that collects data directly from households on educational issues. This study was conducted using address based sample, self-administered questionnaires of households. Households in 2007 were sampled. The study’s response rate was 53.2 percent. Key statistics produced from SR-NHES: 2007 are children’s readiness for school.

The SR-NHES: 2007 include questions on the following topics:

Extensive background and household information was also collected about children and their families.

In addition to the two given research questions, each group needs to design three more research questions using variables of your own interests in this dataset. Please address each research question using appropriate statistical and graphical tools, report results in APA format, and summarize your results using accessible language without jargons.

Part II: Create a Concept Map (What I have learnt in this course)

Instruction: Create a concept map to summarize the key terms covered in this course. Concept map is an effective and fun approach to organize and structure knowledge. The textbook provides some examples of concept maps. You are free to use any format you prefer to generate a concept map.

Planning your project presentation on November 30, 2022.

Session I: Each group has 20 minutes to present the outcomes of part I.

Session II: Each group has 10 minutes to discuss the concept map (i.e., part II).
