The current Scientific Use File (doi:10.5157/NEPS:SC1:11.0.0) contains newly added data from the eleventh wave of the Newborns Starting Cohort of the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). The field period ranged from April 2022 to November 2022. The survey consisted of a telephone interview with parents (CATI) as well as a tablet-based competence test and a self-administered survey with the target children in the household (CAPI/CASI). The testing included tasks in the competence domains of reading (reading speed, reading-ELFE), mathematics and basic cognitive skills (DGCF). In addition to the parental interview, the partner of the respondent living in the household was also asked to complete a short online survey (CAWI) following the parental interview for the first time in this wave. Detailed information about the content and the realization of this survey wave can be found in the corresponding Field Report on the website in the section „Documentation“. There you will also get the Data Manual as the first guide to get started working with the Scientific Use File as well as the Release Notes with information about relevant adjustments regarding the data preparation.
