RR 93-2 Learning in good company: Report on a pilot study.
Abstract
The guide gives both an overview and a detailed summary of data in the Teacher Education and Learning to Teach (TELT) study. The TELT study by the National Center for Research on Teacher Learning (formerly the National Center for Research on Teacher Education) was a five-year longitudinal study funded by the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI). The majority of the data (60+ MB) from the TELT study is available in electronic form utilizing some customized personal information manager software. Through tables and text the guide provides the reader with a way to understand what data is available and how these data are organized in the software package. The guide is useful to those contemplating an analysis based on these data and to other researchers who want to see how large amounts of data can be organized and retrieved.
