Student Debriefing Questions in English for Mainland US

and in Spanish for Puerto Rico

After all students have finished the assessment in each session, field staff will conduct a debriefing activity with the students. Field staff will ask the debriefing questions out loud to the group of students. The questions may be paraphrased, and additional follow-up questions, such as those indicated in the bulleted lists below, may be asked. Students will respond by raising their hands and by calling out responses, as appropriate. Field staff will use their discretion about whether some or all of the questions will be asked, depending on the amount of prompting the students require, and on the amount of time remaining. The debriefing session should not exceed 10 minutes. Field staff will write down the students’ responses to the questions.

Questionnaires

As part of the assessment administration, students will take a set of survey questionnaire items during their session. There is only one revised item being administered in 2021, Grade 8 Mathematics, 4b “Scientific (not graphing) calculator”. It was previously operational in 2015 Grade 8 Mathematics subitem 5b (VB517161). The item also appears in the Spanish 2021 Grade 8 Mathematics, 4b 9VR191772) and was used operationally in 2005 and translated into Spanish (2015 Grade 8 Mathematics BL item VB543267-BL). The rest of the survey questionnaires were previously approved and can be found in Appendix F, Item Library (OMB# 1850-0928 v.17). Not all of the items presented in Volume II will be administered in this Simulated Classroom Pretesting study. The number of items selected for each student will be appropriate to the time allocated. As the items for the 2021 NAEP administration are finalized throughout the development process, the final subset will be included in the eNAEP system for pretesting. As such, the earlier builds may include different items selected from the library in Volume II than the final build.
