collection of information displays a
currently valid OMB control number
and the agency informs potential
persons who are to respond to the
collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Experimentation with Factual
Knowledge of Science Survey Items.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–NEW.
Overview of this information
collection: The National Science
Foundation Act of 1950 as amended (42
U.S.C. 1862) authorizes the National
Science foundation to ‘‘initiate and
support basic scientific research and
programs to strengthen scientific
research potential and science
education programs in the
mathematical, physical, medical,
biological, social, and other sciences.’’
The America COMPETES
Reauthorization Act of 2010 § 505,
codified in the National Science
Foundation Act of 1950, as amended,
established the National Center for
Science and Engineering Statistics
(NCSES) within the National Science
Foundation. NCSES supports surveys
that measure the level of basic factual
knowledge of science among the
American public and prepares
information on this topic for
dissemination in Science and
Engineering Indicators, a biennial
publication of the National Science
Board (NSB), NSF’s governing body.
Survey questions cover topics in
biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy,
and other sciences. NCSES is proposing
to conduct a series of survey-based
experiments in which question wording
and content are systematically varied in
order to test the sensitivity of survey
measures of factual knowledge of
biological evolution and the origins of
the universe to variations in question
design. These experiments will be
conducted via an Internet survey. Data
from these experiments may be used in
Science and Engineering Indicators to
address the effects of question design on
survey estimates of public science
knowledge and the relationship between
understanding and acceptance of
scientific conclusions. Results from this
research may also be reported in
scholarly research publications.
Expected Respondents:
Approximately 3,500 U.S. adults
(persons aged 18+) will be responding to
the survey.
Estimate of Burden: The Foundation
estimates that, on average, 15 minutes
per respondent will be required to

complete the survey. The annual
respondent burden for completing the
survey is therefore estimated at 875
hours, based on 3,500 respondents.
Dated: September 4, 2013.

Foundation.
