Title of Collection: Program for International Student Assessment
(PISA 2018) Main Study.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0755.
Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 57,878.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 22,604.
Abstract: The Program for International Student Assessments (PISA)
is an international assessment of 15-year-olds which focuses on
assessing students' reading, mathematics, and science literacy. PISA
was first administered in 2000 and is conducted every three years. The
United States has participated in all of the previous cycles, and is
participating in 2018 in order to track trends and to compare the
performance of U.S. students with that of students in other education
systems. PISA 2018 is sponsored by the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD). In the United States, PISA is
conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES),
within the U.S. Department of Education. In each administration of
PISA, one of the subject areas (reading, mathematics, or science
literacy) is the major domain and has the broadest content coverage,
while the other two subjects are the minor domains. PISA emphasizes
functional skills that students have acquired as they near the end of
mandatory schooling (aged 15 years), and students' knowledge and skills
gained both in and out of school environments. PISA 2018 will focus on
reading literacy as the major domain. Mathematics and science literacy
will also be assessed as minor domains, with additional assessment of
financial literacy. In addition to the cognitive assessments described
above, PISA 2018 will include questionnaires administered to assessed
students, school principals, and teachers. The PISA 2018 Recruitment
and Field Test were approved in September 2016 with the latest change
request approved in September 2017 (1850-0755 v.18-20). The PISA 2018
field test was conducted in March-May 2017. The PISA 2018 main study
recruitment began in October 2017 and data collection will be conducted
October-November 2018. This request provides the final plans, burden,
and materials for PISA 2018 main study.
