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.
This 30-day FRN reflects a reduction
in the estimated number of respondents,
as published in the 60-day FRN, Volume
78, Number 237, pages 74169–74170 on
Tuesday, December 10, 2013. The
targeted respondent pool will include
educators, pre-college, undergraduate,
graduate, and post-graduate students
