The International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) is a computer-based international assessment of
eighth-grade students’ computer and information literacy (CIL) skills that will provide a comparison of U.S. student
performance and technology access and use with those of the international peers. ICILS collects data on eighth-grade
students’ abilities to collect, manage, evaluate, and share digital information; their understanding of issues related to the
safe and responsible use of electronic information; on student access to, use of, and engagement with ICT at school and
at home; school environments for teaching and learning CIL; and teacher practices and experiences with ICT. The data
collected through ICILS will also provide information about the nature and extent of the possible “digital divide” and has
the potential to inform understanding of the relationship between technology skills and experience and student
performance in other core subject areas. ICILS is conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of
Educational Achievement (IEA), an international collective of research organizations and government agencies that
create the assessment framework, assessment, and background questionnaires. In the U.S., the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) conducts this study. In preparation for the ICILS 2018 main study, NCES conducted a field
test from May through June 2017 to evaluate new assessment items and background questions, to ensure practices that
promote low exclusion rates, and to ensure that classroom and student sampling procedures proposed for the main
study are successful. Recruitment for the main study began in May of 2017. The request to conduct the ICILS main
study data collection in the United States from March through May 2018 was approved in December 2017 (OMB# 18500929 v.6). The approved request included the final international versions of the ICILS 2018 main study questionnaires
along with draft U.S. adaptations to these questionnaires. The IEA has now approved the adaptations made to the U.S.
versions of the main study questionnaires. In Appendix B.2, this change request provides the final adapted U.S. versions
of the ICILS 2018 main study questionnaires to be administered in the main study. In addition, Appendix B.1, which lists
the changes that were made to the U.S. versions of the field test questionnaire in preparation for the U.S. main study,
was updated to reflect all of the final changes.
