systems and again in 2018, when the
United States participated for the first
time. Our participation in this study has
provided data on students’ skills and
experience using technology to
investigate, create, and communicate,
and provided a comparison of U.S.
student performance and technology
access and use with those of the
international peers. The next
administration of ICILS will be in 2023.
The 2023 study will allow the U.S. to
begin monitoring the progress of its
students compared to that of other
nations and to provide data on factors
that may influence student computer
and information literacy skills. The data
collected through ICILS will provide
valuable information with which to
understand the nature and extent of the
‘‘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. The IEA decides and
agrees upon a common set of standards
and procedures for collecting and
reporting ICILS data, and defines the
study timeline, all of which must be
followed by all participating countries.
As a result, ICILS is able to provide a
reliable and comparable measure of
student skills in participating countries.
In the U.S., the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) conducts
this study and works with the IEA and
RTI International to ensure proper
implementation of the study and
adoption of practices in adherence to
the IEA’s standards. Participation in
ICILS will allow NCES to meet its
mandate of acquiring and disseminating
data on educational activities and
student achievement in the United
States compared with foreign nations
[The Educational Sciences Reform Act
of 2002 (ESRA 2002) 20 U.S.C. 9543].
The U.S. ICILS main study will be
conducted from March through May
2023 and will involve a nationallyrepresentative sample of at least 3,000
eighth-grade students from a minimum
of 150 schools. Because ICILS is a
collaborative effort among many parties,
the United States must adhere to the
international schedule set forth by the
IEA, including the availability of final
field test and main study plans as well
as draft and final questionnaires. In
order to meet the international data

collection schedule and to align with
recruitment for other NCES studies (e.g.,
TIMSS), approval for the main study
sampling, recruitment, and data
collection activities was approved in
April 2022 (OMB# 1850–0929 v9). This
request is for approval for the (1) revised
study revision timeline; (2) updated
screen shots of the study portal; (3)
changes to the main study contact
materials; and (4) addition of COVIDrelated items in the questionnaires. If
necessary, a final change memo will be
submitted in December 2022 with the
IEA-approved adapted main study
questionnaire. Changes are described
below and are included in the
supporting documentation.
