U.S. Department of Education 8th Grader Educational Research Study

We are a local educational research company conducting an important study for the U.S. Department of Education. If your child is in the 8th grade we need his or her help to evaluate test questions for a new national educational test aimed at middle school students. Your child's input will help improve the test by ensuring that its content will be understood by all students.

What is this study about?

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), part of the U.S. Department of Education, is conducting interviews with eighth grade students about new test items for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). NCES needs to know if the tasks on the test are clear. Your child's input will help NCES improve the test so that students like your child will understand it.

Where and when will these interviews be held?

The interviews will take place in our office in Rockville and will last approximately 60/90 minutes. Your child will be asked to complete a task. NCES simply wants to know how they would do the task if it were an actual test.

Will you keep information private?

These sessions will be recorded. All of your child's answers may be used only for statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law [Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002, 20 U.S.C. §9573].

Is this paid?

These interviews are an important stage of the NAEP test development process. The comments students provide help NCES improve the test items to make the best test possible. If selected, your child will be given a $25 gift card as thanks for their time. In addition, you will be given a $25 gift card for your time to bring the participating student to the interview site.
