the international peers. ICILS collects
data on eighth-grade students’ abilities
to collect, manage, evaluate, and share
digital information; their understanding
of issues related to the safe and
responsible use of electronic
information; on student access to, use
of, and engagement with ICT at school
and at home; school environments for
teaching and learning CIL; and teacher
practices and experiences with ICT. The
data collected through ICILS will also
provide information about the nature
and extent of the possible ‘‘digital
divide’’ and has the potential to inform
understanding of the relationship
between technology skills and
experience and student performance in
other core subject areas. ICILS is
conducted by the International
Association for the Evaluation of
Educational Achievement (IEA), an
international collective of research
organizations and government agencies
that create the assessment framework,
assessment, and background
questionnaires. In the U.S., the National
Center for Education Statistics (NCES)
conducts this study. In preparation for
the ICILS 2018 main study, NCES will
conduct a field test from March through
May 2017 to evaluate new assessment
items and background questions, to
ensure practices that promote low
exclusion rates, and to ensure that
classroom and student sampling
procedures proposed for the main study
are successful. The U.S. ICILS main
study will be conducted in the spring of
2018. Field recruitment will begin in
October 2016 and main study
recruitment in May of 2017. This
request is for the 2017 field test and the
2018 main study recruitment activities
and the 2017 field test data collection.
