National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2021 eNAEP Pretesting and Usability Study

EurekaFacts, a social science research firm, is administering an important study on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Because your organization plays an active role in the community, we would like to ask for your assistance in letting your organization’s parents, guardians, and students know that they can be involved in this research study. I have included a flyer with a brief description of our study in the hopes that you can post it for everyone to see.

We are looking for students at or near 4^th and 8^th grades to come to <NAME OF INTERVIEW SITE AND LOCATION> <FOR PLATFORM TRYOUTS: to test the platform that delivers the test and identify issues with the system; FOR USABILITY: to explore how students interact with the tablet system that delivers the test and enhance the student experience>. Local student participation is vital in helping us develop the best way to deliver the test to thousands of other students across the country.

The voluntary sessions will last <25 STUDENT TRYOUTS: no more than 90 minutes; 40 STUDENT TRYOUTS: 135 minutes; USABILITY: no more than 60 minutes> and students will receive a <FOR PLATFORM TRYOUTS: $35 gift card; FOR USABILITY: $25 gift card> at the end of the session as a thank you. Further, one parent or guardian will receive a $25 gift card as a thank you for bringing the student.

Students will answer questions using a tablet computer as if it were an actual test; <USABILITY: Children will be asked to complete a series of tasks on the computer system and provide feedback to an interviewer about their experience>. Students’ names will not be linked to their answers.¹

I have also included a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page with additional information about the study.

To make it more convenient for students, if you have space available and a group of interested students, we are able to make arrangements to conduct testing at your location. Please let us know!

We appreciate your consideration of this request; please contact us with any questions regarding this project. We look forward to speaking with you soon!

RECRUITER: Please determine how talkative and articulate the student is. It is critical that we speak with students who are comfortable expressing themselves with someone they are meeting for the first time. Please use your best judgment and recruit only students who are thoughtful and freely express themselves in a manner that is relevant to the topic being discussed.

All recruits MUST be articulate students who can answer open ended questions and can provide support or explanation for their responses (e.g., “I like it because...” “I don’t like it because...”).

DO NOT recruit any students who have difficulty answering these questions, whose parent/legal guardian answers FOR them, who seem hesitant or shy speaking with you (as an adult they do not know), who answer “I don’t know,” or who CANNOT provide an explanation to support their responses.

Hi, <STUDENT’S NAME>. My name is <CALLER NAME>, and I have been speaking with your parent/legal guardian for a few minutes.

As I explained to your parent/legal guardian, I work for a social science research firm. We are running an important research study to test a tablet system the US Department of Education wants to use to send out an assessment to students all across the country. For the study session, if you agree to participate, you would be asked to visit <NAME OF INTERVIEW SITE AND LOCATION> and complete some tablet-based questions or tasks. You won’t be graded on what you say and won’t be shared with anyone you know. The US Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics, or NCES, simply wants to know about how you use the testing platform as you are working.

<PLATFORM TRYOUTS: Testing will be done in groups where students will be asked to answer questions using a tablet as if it were an actual test. Students will help us test the platform that delivers the test and identify issues with the system. The voluntary session will last <25 STUDENT TRYOUTS: no more than 90 minutes; 40 STUDENT TRYOUTS: 135 minutes. ;

FOR USABILITY: During the interview, the student will be asked to complete some tasks on the testing platform while providing feedback to the interviewer on their experience. This will help us explore how students interact with the tablet system that delivers the test and enhance the student experience. The voluntary research session will last no more than 60 minutes.>

As a thank you, students will receive a <PLATFORM TRYOUTS: $35 gift card; FOR USABILITY: $25 gift card> at the end of the session. Further, one parent or guardian will receive a $25 gift card as a thank you for bringing the student. As I said before, your responses would be used to improve the national test so that it works well for all students. We would not use your name to identify you in any of our records.

Do you think you would be interested in participating if selected?

	SELECT ONE
Yes	1	(CONTINUE TO Q2)

IF NO: Thank you for your time. I will need to let your parent/legal guardian know that you would not like to participate. Is he or she available? TO PARENT/GUARDIANS: Your child has decided not to participate, but I would like to thank you very much for taking the time to speak with me about this opportunity. IF 1 STUDENT ONLY: Have a great day. IF ANOTHER STUDENT, RETURN to Q5 of Phone Screener: Let’s move on the second student you mentioned, <Child 2>.
