ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
On 4/16/2013, a 60-day notice
was published in the Federal Register
(volume 78 FR, page 22530) for the
Program for International Student
Assessments (PISA 2015) Recruitment
and Field Test, 1850–0755. Since that
time, the PISA has been amended. It
reflects a change in the field test design
and burden. In addition to science,
reading, mathematics, and collaborative
problem solving, the field test will
include an assessment of students’
financial literacy. From the sample of
students that take the science,
mathematics, reading, and collaborative
problem solving assessments, 585
students (15 per school) will be
subsampled to return for a second
assessment session to take financial
literacy. Students taking financial
literacy will take an additional 5
minutes of background questions. This
change in the design increases the total
field test student burden estimate by 42
hours. Consistent with the science,
reading, and mathematics domains, the
field test includes a mode effect study
to examine the impact of transitioning
from a paper-based to a computer-based
financial literacy assessment. Schools
and student response rates and other
information from the field test will be
evaluated to determine whether the
financial literacy assessment should be
administered in the main study. The
revised documents have been posted to
regulations.gov under Docket Number
ED–2013–ICCD–0053. The 60-day
period ends June 17, 2013.
The Director, Information Collection
Clearance Division, Privacy, Information
