Data Archive for Interdisciplinary Research on Learning

Data Archive for Interdisciplinary Research on Learning (DAIRL) was developed in partnership with ICPSR at the University of Michigan to provide a public infrastructure for researchers to access and share data and written works in order to advance practically relevant knowledge about student learning. DAIRL is no longer active, but the archive’s curated collection of datasets is preserved in the summary of holdings below, and its user resources are preserved in this document.

The information in the table can be used to identify datasets of interest to facilitate scholarly activities, such as conducting novel secondary research that can inform practice and policy, replicating existing findings, pilot testing ideas in support of a funding application, and teaching courses. Given the complexity of studying student experience, DAIRL was designed to support scholars in applying an interdisciplinary and multimethod lens to research. This lens can better equip researchers to answer questions arising from education practice and policy and generate new insights about the structures, contexts, and psychological processes that shape students’ learning and learning environments.

Instructions: The table columns refer to information about student samples with the exception of the ‘Other Samples Available’ column. Press the gray buttons below to view more columns in the table. For example, clicking the button labeled ‘Geographic Region(s)’ will add a column to the table that is populated with information about the geographic region for the student sample in each study. Clicking within a cell in the ‘Study’ column will open the study’s homepage on ICPSR, where you can learn more about the study and access the associated data and materials.

In 1999, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation started the Gates Millennium Scholars Program (GMS), a 20-year initiative which intends to expand access to higher education for high achieving, low-income minority students. The purpose of the Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS) Tracking and Longitudinal study is to gather data on the lives of scholars and selected non-recipients in order to analyze the effects on the educational, civic, and personal lives of selected sample members. The main research question explored is: How has GMS impacted students and how can this knowledge help us understand how to better prepare minority students for college?

Texas Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Stress Resilience and Health (TLSASR) - (#38180) Partially open; One or more files is restricted access 4,939

Five schools in an urban district in Texas were selected to participate in the study, which collectively comprised a community sample reflecting the diversity of the local metropolitan area. Sample was 48% women and girls.

Survey, Administrative, Daily in school experience sampling, Biological data (e.g., height, weight, pubertal development) and information about contextual factors (e.g., school climate) was also collected Middle grades - High school

Texas Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Stress Resilience and Health, 2016-2019 (TLSASR) is a multi-method study examining the effects of naturalistic stressors on adolescents as they enter and proceed through high school. This transitional period often presents adolescents with more and more complex sources of social and evaluative stress. Both stress levels and effectiveness of adolescents’ responses can have consequences on their life course trajectories, including contributing to gender and racial/ethnic disparities in adult health and well-being. The TLSASR dataset aims to support researchers pursuing a deeper and more integrative understanding of this critical adolescent developmental period.

The study’s data contain multiple waves of collection spanning the fall of 2016 to the spring of 2019. Informed by the biopsychosocial model of human development, the study integrates data from a range of sources and methods each wave/year. This included a survey battery assessing numerous psychological (e.g., stress, mental health, mindset), biological (e.g., height, weight, pubertal development), and contextual (e.g., school climate) factors, as well as daily in-school experience sampling, and daily salivary hormone levels for hormonal assessment. School records for each year are also included, as is an experimental manipulation testing the effects of a brief growth mindset intervention to promote improved stress resilience.

  • Examining the relationship between infants’ childcare arrangements (defined in terms of hours, type, quality, and stability of care and the age at which the child entered care) and children’s concurrent and long-term development. Specifically, the study investigated the association between children’s experiences in childcare and their social, emotional, language, and cognitive development.
  • Examining whether the social ecology of the home moderates the effects of childcare, i.e., whether children from different home environments are differentially affected by similar childcare experiences.
  • Examining whether individual differences among children moderate the effects of infant care on child development.
  • Identify demographic characteristics of childcare associated with childcare quality. Of interest to policy makers is another aspect of the study, the investigation of those regulatory characteristics that predict care of higher quality.

The High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is nationally representative, longitudinal study of 9th graders who were followed through their secondary and postsecondary years, with an emphasis on understanding students’ trajectories from the beginning of high school into postsecondary education, the workforce, and beyond. What students decide to pursue when, why, and how are crucial questions for HSLS:09. The HSLS:09 focuses on answering the following questions:

  • How do parents, teachers, counselors, and students construct choice sets for students, and how are these related to students’ characteristics, attitudes, and behavior?
  • How do students select among secondary school courses, postsecondary institutions, and possible careers?
  • How do parents and students plan financing for postsecondary experiences? What sources inform these plans?
  • What factors influence students’ decisions about taking STEM courses and following through with STEM college majors? Why are some students underrepresented in STEM courses and college majors?
  • How students’ plans vary over the course of high school and how decisions in 9th grade impact students’ high school trajectories. When students are followed up in the spring of 11th grade and later, their planning and decision-making in 9th grade may be linked to subsequent behavior.

High School Exit Examinations - (#32661) Open Administrative High school

Research on the correlates and consequences of state high school exit examinations (HSEEs) requires annual state-level data. This dataset contains information on every year in which a state mandated HSEEs as part of their general graduation requirements. Archival data on each states’ HSEE policy was collected in order to (1) test hypotheses about the factors that have lead to the diffusion of state HSEEs over time and across states, and (2) test hypotheses about the impact of state HSEEs on student academic achievement and high school graduation rates.

The Alfred P. Sloan Study of Youth and Social Development was designed to gather a holistic picture of the adolescent experience. To understand how young people form ideas about their future, the study considered not only what adolescents’ aspirations are, but also how they may be influenced by family, peer groups, schools, and their communities. The study gathered information from 12 sites over five years, examining such research questions as:

  • How do young people of various ages and family backgrounds differ in their conceptions of work?
  • What learning opportunities do families with different economic circumstances provide for their children with respect to work and careers?
  • How do schools influence educational expectations and career formation?

The National Study of Learning Mindsets (NSLM), also known as Students’ Perspectives about the Transition to High School (PATHS), is a longitudinal research study and program evaluation administered by the University of Texas. The purpose of NSLM is to determine if introducing students to a positive growth mindset as they transition to high school will help improve students’ academic success during high school and beyond. The National Study of Learning Mindsets addresses the following primary research questions:

  • Can the growth mindset intervention improve the grades of lower-performing students in U.S. public schools?
  • Can the growth mindset intervention motivate students to enroll in challenging mathematics and science courses?
  • Can the growth mindset intervention reduce group-based inequalities in academic performance in U.S. public schools?
  • Do the effects of the growth mindset intervention depend on schools’ formal resources (e.g., the curriculum and instruction)?
  • Are the effects of the growth mindset intervention larger in schools or classrooms that are supportive of growth mindset beliefs?

The MET project is based on two premises: First, a teacher’s evaluation should depend to a significant extent on his/her students’ achievement gains; second, any additional components of the evaluation (e.g., classroom observations) should be valid predictors of student achievement gain. The MET Study addressed several related research questions:

  • How reliable and valid are the specific measures of teaching effectiveness under study?
  • Do the various measures identify distinctive dimensions of teaching effectiveness, and if so, what dimensions are identified?
  • What measures of effective teaching are empirically related to student learning gains?
  • What does effective teaching look like, and how does it compare to less effective teaching?
