Abstract: 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. Through this generic clearance, NASA Office of Education will enhance the quality of its data collection instruments and overall data management through interdisciplinary scientific research, and utilization of best practices in educational, psychological, and statistical measurement. Methodological testing will ensure 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. By improving the approach to achieving meaningful results, this information collection will contribute to the improvement of NASA Office of Education policy, decision-making, services, and accountability.
