Reference: Fast Facts / "Fact Sheets": Education (U.S.): Statistics

Yes, we love our fact sheets around here and today we're going to mention a growing number of them from the National Center for Education Statistics.

The complete set of fact sheets can be found here. Each "sheet" has a question and the provides answers and sources of where the answer came from making it much faster to check for the latest/updated numbers.

Here's a Look at What's Been Placed Online Recently:

In the Assessments Category

+ Do you have any information on assessments of students in arts education classes?

In the Elementary/Secondary School Category

+ There are 27 Fact Sheets and but four fact sheets are new.

In the International Category

+ How does achievement of American students compare to students in other countries?

+ How does the United States compare in labor force outcomes of education?

In the Postsecondary Category

+ Is participation in adult learning increasing?

+ How long does it take students at colleges and universities to complete their bachelor's degrees?

+ What is the percentage of degrees conferred by sex and race?

+ How large are the endowments of colleges and universities in the United States?

+ Do you have any statistics on financial aid for postsecondary undergraduates?

+ Which colleges have the highest enrollment?

+ How has the college enrollment rate immediately following high school graduation varied over time?

+ What is the average income for high school and college graduates?

+ What are the most popular majors for college students?

+ What types of NCES surveys are available on students and teachers by state and level?

+ Do you have any information on the race/ethnicity of college and university faculty and staff?

+ What proportion of students enrolled in postsecondary education have a disability?

+ What is Title IX?

NCES has also compiled a large set of glossaries from their publications.
You can find the collection here.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
