Appendix F
Item Library for NAEP 2021 Survey Questionnaires
OMB# 1850-0928 v.18
November 2019
This Appendix F provides the library of possible items to be used in the NAEP 2021
questionnaires. Non-substantive wording changes to the questionnaire items (based on ongoing
and future cognitive and pilot testing results), if any will be made, along with the final selection of
which items will be used in the final versions of the NAEP 2021 questionnaires, will be provided
as outlined below. The number of items selected for each type of respondent will be appropriate
to the allocated time (as indicated in the Supporting Statement Part A section A.12).
The final versions of all NAEP 2021 questionnaires in English language and Spanish-translated
questionnaires will be submitted to OMB in Appendix J by June 2020.
The Appendix is structured by respondent type: student, teacher, and then school. For each
respondent, a table is included to help define what components are included in the library, when
each component will be administered, which parts of this Appendix comprise each component,
and the source of the content of each Appendix part (e.g., whether it was approved as part of
Appendices K1, K2, K3 in OMB# 1850-0928 v.15, Appendix I in OMB# 1850-0928 v.7, or another
source).
Note, given that some of the previous administrations were from paper-and-pencil assessments
and others were from digitally-based assessments, the item-level directions are not consistent
(i.e., some items indicate to “fill in one oval” while others indicate to “select one answer choice”
or “select one circle”). The final item-level directions that will be used in NAEP 2021 will be
appropriate to the mode of the testing, as indicated in Part A.12.
