From this web site, users may download data documentation, data files, and setup files for SAS, SPSS, and STATA.
Researchers wishing to obtain a disc with the data and software that supports searching through the available variables can order a free copy of the ECLS-K 1998-99 DVD. In addition to the material that can be downloaded directly from the web site, the DVD contains the ECLS-K Electronic Codebook (ECB). The ECB allows analysts to easily examine the variables in each of the ECLS-K datasets and facilitates the creation of SAS, SPSS, or STATA files.
| There is an error in the data set contained in Childk8p.zip, Childk8p.z01, Childk8p.z02, Childk8p.z03, Childk8p.z04, Childk8p.z05. Corrected theta scores for all cases across all years of the study can be accessed here. |
Users will need to edit the setup file syntax so that the directories specified in the syntax match the directory structure and the location of data on their computers. Users may wish to create a ECLSK folder associated with their C: drive (C:/ECLSK).
The syntax files are currently set up to create and save to a directory called C:/ECLSK. Users need to either create this directory on their machine or appropriately alter the “Save to” step in the syntax file.
The child level catalog is extremely large and has been split into 6 segments. Once all 6 have been downloaded, unzipping the primary "childl8p.zip" will automatically unzip and join the other segments into one large ASCII file.
