A parallel Spanish edition was developed of released objectives and objective-referenced items used in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in the field of Career and Occupational Development (COD). The Spanish edition was designed to assess the identical skills, attitudes, concepts, and knowledge of Spanish-dominant students ages 9, 13, and 17 as those measured by the NAEP English edition. The Spanish edition was to be used for field testing and validation; equivalent Spanish-language instructions for administration and scoring were also developed. It was designed to be linguistically compatible for children of both Caribbean and Mexican-American origin. Suggested uses of the validated Spanish edition included: (1) assessing the occupational and career awareness needs of Spanish-dominant students; (2) providing teachers and counselors with related objectives and criterion referenced items; (3) testing a national sample of Spanish-dominant students, and comparing norms with Hispanic surnamed students who took the English form of the NAEP; and (4) demonstrating a means of producing Spanish and other-language editions in other content areas. (Appendices include results of Puerto Ricans and Mexicans/Chicanos on the NAEP's COD items, analyzed by geographic region, sex, and size of city.
