EurekaFacts, a local research company carrying out an important study for the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), part of the U.S. Department of Education.
They are recruiting students who are currently in grade 4, 8 or grade 12 to participate in tryout sessions supporting the development of new social studies test questions for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The tryout sessions will explore how students work through civics, geography, and/or U.S. history test questions on a computer to ensure that the questions are clear and understandable to a broad range of students. Each student who participates will receive a $25 gift card (from a major credit card company) as an incentive to help. The student’s parent or guardian will also receive a $25 gift card for their time in bringing the child to and from the session site.
The feedback received from students on these test questions will help to improve the questions and instructions and create the best test possible. This research incorporates very strict confidentiality and privacy standards. Students’ responses will be used only for research purposes and will 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].
