ED.gov NAEP 2001 geography was a continuation of an assessment first administered in 1994. National samples were selected from approximately 1,100 public and nonpublic schools at grades 4, 8, and 12. Approximately 25,000 students were assessed in the national sample. Questions addressed three main content areas: Space and Place, Environment and Society, and Spatial Dynamics and Connections. Students answered multiple-choice and constructed-response questions. Scores are up for fourth- and eighth-graders since 1994, while changes for high school seniors are not statistically significant. Increases seen since 1994 in the percentages of fourth- and eighth-graders at or above Basic See results for various subgroups (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity) of students between 1994-2001.

IES News Fourth- and Eighth-Graders Score Higher in NAEP 2001 Geography June 21, 2002 A new report released today by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) shows that average scores of the nation's fourth and eighth graders, while low, have improved from 1994. Lower-performing students at grades four and eight showed an increase in average scale scores, whereas no overall changes were seen for 12th graders. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) survey, The Nation's Report Card: U.S. Geography 2001 , the improvements for fourth-and eighth-graders were seen among students scoring in the tenth and 25th percentiles of performance. Black fourth-graders' scores improved, resulting in narrowing the gap between Black and White students' scores. Sizeable gaps remain, however, between the average performance of Black and Hispanic students and that of White students. The findings from this new geography assessment were presented at a news conference at the Department of Education with Deputy Commissioner Gary Phillips, Secretary of Education Rod Paige, Daniel Domenech of the National Assessment Governing Board, and Gilbert Grosvenor of the National Geographic Society. In addition to average scale scores, student performance on NAEP is also reported as percents of students performing at or above three achievement levels, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced. The scale scores show what students know and can do and the achievement levels are intended to describe standards for what students should know and be able to do.

Contact Us Lab Exercises What is Geography? Geography is the science of space and place at the Earth's surface. It is a highly integrative and synthetic discipline which weaves together information from the physical and social sciences in attempting to understand the human condition and its relationship to the environment. Geographers seek answers to a wide range of questions. Where are the best locations for new clinics to improve the delivery of health care in a city? What is the spatial relationship of landuse to the quality of surface water in a reservoir? In attempting to answer such complex questions geographers now use cutting edge information technology including remote sensing, geographic information systems, and global positioning systems. If these are the types of questions that interest you, and the technologies that challenge you, then you should consider a career in geography. The Department of Geography is located in the Environmental Education, Science and Technology (
