Please note that written comments received in response to this notice will be considered public records. Title of Collection: Program for International Student Assessments (PISA) Validation Study. OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. Type of Review: A new collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 5,810. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,240. Abstract: PISA (Program for International Student Assessment OMB #1850–0755) is an international assessment of 15-year-olds designed to evaluate, at the end of compulsory education, how well students are prepared for further education or entry into the workforce and, more fundamentally, to contribute to society as functioning young adults. However, PISA has been implemented as a crosssectional study and, thus, the claim that PISA assesses key competencies for later success has never been tested in the United States. What is lacking is an empirical linkage between PISA and measures of successful transition from high school to postsecondary education, the workforce, or the types of skills required for successful participation in adult life. This Validation Study is designed to provide this empirical linkage. (A separate OMB number is being requested for this clearance since it is a separate study from the PISA #1850–0755 collection.) Students in the U.S. who participated in PISA in 2012 and supplied contact information will be contacted in early 2013 and invited to participate in the PISA Validation Study. In 2015, when these students will be 18 years old, they will be asked to complete an online questionnaire and assessment, based on those used in the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), assessing their literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills, and asking them about their educational attainment, education and work experiences, skills used in daily life, and aspects of health and well-being. This submission is for address updates of both filed trial and main study VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:46 Sep 13, 2013 Jkt 229001 sample members, and will be followed in 2014 by requests for field test and main study recruitment and data collections activities.
