Content Validation Survey Population/Sample/Respondents Demographics (Public School Sample)
General Curriculum Content Validation Survey Population/Sample/Respondents Demographics (Public School Sample)
Key
- Population: The number and percent of licensed and assigned educators in the content area, extracted from the database of full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers assigned to each teaching area for each school district in Massachusetts, as provided by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for use in drawing a random sample of educators.
- Sample (with oversampling): The number and percent of licensed and assigned educators sampled to receive the survey. In order to obtain appropriate representation of minority groups (e.g., American Indian, Asian, Black, and Hispanic) in the survey results, oversampling of minority groups was conducted for those fields for which the entire population was not sampled. In these instances, the survey results were weighted appropriately to take the oversampling into account.
