National Household Education Survey, 2001

The National Household Education Survey (NHES) reports on the condition of education in the United States by collecting data at the household level rather than using a traditional, school-based data collection system. The surveys attempt to address many current issues in education, such as preprimary education, school safety and discipline, adult education, and activities related to citizenship. This survey included three topical survey components. The Early Childhood Program Participation (ECPP) Survey (Part 1) gathered information on the nonparental care arrangements and educational programs of preschool children, such as care by relatives, care by persons to whom they were not related, and participation in day care centers and preschool programs including Head Start. The Before- and After-School Programs and Activities (ASPA) Survey (Part 2) addressed relative and nonrelative care for school-age children during the out-of-school hours, including home schooling as well as participation in before- and/or after-school programs, activities, and self-care. The Adult Education and Lifelong Learning (AELL) Survey (Part 3) collected data such as type of program, employer support, and credential sought for participation in the following types of adult educational activities: English as a second language, adult basic education, credential programs, apprenticeships, work-related courses, and personal interest courses. Some information on work-related informal learning activities was gathered as well.

《全国家庭教育调查》（NHES）通过在家庭层面而非采用传统的以学校为基础的数据收集体系收集数据，对美国的教育状况进行报告。该调查旨在探讨众多当前教育领域的热点问题，例如学前教育、校园安全与纪律、成人教育以及与公民身份相关的活动。本调查包含三个主题调查组成部分。早期儿童项目参与调查（第一部分）收集了学龄前儿童非父母照护安排和教育项目的信息，例如亲属照护、与儿童无亲属关系之人的照护，以及参与日托中心和学前教育项目，包括起点计划。学龄前儿童课余时间照护与活动调查（第二部分）针对学龄儿童在非学校时间内的亲属与非亲属照护进行了探讨，包括家庭教育以及参与课余前的和/或课后项目、活动和自我照护。成人教育与终身学习调查（第三部分）收集了关于参与以下成人教育活动的项目类型、雇主支持以及寻求的证书等信息：英语作为第二语言、成人基础教育、证书项目、学徒制、与工作相关的课程以及个人兴趣课程。同时，还收集了一些关于与工作相关的非正式学习活动的信息。
