I. Abstract NASA’s founding legislation, the Space Act of 1958, as amended, directs the agency to expand human knowledge of Earth and space phenomena and to preserve the role of the United States as a leader in aeronautics, space science, and technology. The NASA Office of Education administers the agency’s national education activities in support of the Space Act, including the performance measurement and evaluation of educational projects and programs. This generic clearance will allow the NASA Office of Education to test and pilot with subject matter experts, secondary students, higher education students, educators, and interested parties new and existing information collection forms and assessment instruments for the purposes of improvement and establishing validity and reliability characteristics of the forms and instruments. Forms and instruments to be tested include program application forms, customer satisfaction questionnaires, focus group protocols, and project activity survey instruments. Methodological testing will include focus group discussions, pilot surveys to test new individual question items as well as the complete form and instrument. In addition, test-retest and similar protocols will be used to determine reliability characteristics of the forms and instruments. Methodological testing will assure that forms and instruments accurately and consistently collect and measure what they are intended to measure and that data collection items are interpreted precisely and consistently, all towards the goal of accurate Agency reporting while improving the execution of NASA Education project activities. maindgalligan on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES II.

I. Abstract

    NASA's founding legislation, the Space Act of 1958, as amended, 
directs the agency to expand human knowledge of Earth and space 
phenomena and to preserve the role of the United States as a leader in 
aeronautics, space science, and technology. The NASA Office of 
Education administers the agency's national education activities in 
support of the Space Act, including the performance measurement and 
evaluation of educational projects and programs.
    This generic clearance will allow the Office of Education to test 
and pilot with subject matter experts, secondary students, higher 
education students, educators, and interested parties new and existing 
information collection forms and assessment instruments for the 
purposes of improvement and establishing validity and reliability 
characteristics of the forms and instruments. Forms and instruments to 
be tested include program application forms, customer satisfaction 
questionnaires, focus group protocols, and project activity survey 
instruments. Methodological testing will include focus group 
discussions, pilot surveys to test new individual question items as 
well as the complete form and instrument. In addition, test-retest and 
similar protocols will be used to determine reliability characteristics 
of the forms and instruments. Methodological testing will assure that 
forms and instruments accurately and consistently collect and measure 
what they are intended to measure and that data collection items are 
interpreted precisely and consistently, all towards the goal of 
accurate Agency reporting while improving the execution of NASA 
Education project activities.

II. Method of Collection

    Electronic, paper, and focus group interviews.

III. Data
