Abstract: The Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is
an international survey of teachers and principals focusing on the
working conditions of teachers and the teaching and learning practices
in schools. The United States will administer TALIS for the third time
in 2024, having participated in 2013 and 2018. TALIS 2024 is sponsored
by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
TALIS is steered by the TALIS Governing Board (TGB), comprising
representatives from the OECD member countries, and implemented
internationally by organizations contracted by the OECD (referred to as
the ``international consortium'' or ``IC''). In the U.S., TALIS 2024 is
conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the
Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education.
TALIS 2024 is focused on teachers' professional environment,
teaching conditions, and their impact on school and teacher
effectiveness. TALIS 2024 will address teacher training and
professional development, teacher appraisal, school climate, school
leadership, instructional approaches, pedagogical practices, and
teaching experience with and support for teaching diverse populations.
OECD has scheduled the main study to occur in the Northern
hemisphere from February through March 2024 and in the Southern
hemisphere from June through August 2024. To prepare for the main
study, several TALIS countries will conduct pilot studies in February
2022; the U.S. will not participate. Countries will also conduct a
field test in the first quarter of 2023, primarily to evaluate newly
developed questionnaire items and school recruitment materials; the
U.S. will participate in the field test. To meet the international data
collection schedule for the field test, U.S. recruitment activities
need to begin by August 2022 and U.S. questionnaires must be finalized
by December 2022.
TALIS 2024 includes the core TALIS teacher and principal surveys
that are required for each participating country, as well as an
optional Teacher Knowledge Survey (TKS). The TKS is intended to better
understand the teacher pedagogical knowledge base at the national
level. The US is including the TKS in the upcoming TALIS 2024 field
test and will evaluate these results to determine the feasibility of
including TKS as part of the US Main Study.
This submission requests approval for: recruitment and pre-survey
activities for the 2023 field test sample; administration of the field
test; and school recruitment and pre-survey activities for the 2024
main study sample. The materials that will be used in the 2024 main
study will be based upon the field test materials included in this
submission. Additionally, this submission is designed to adequately
justify the need for and overall practical utility of the full study
and to present the overarching plan for all phases of the data
collection, providing as much detail about the measures to be used as
is available at the time of this submission. As part of this
submission, NCES is publishing a notice in the Federal Register
allowing first a 60- and then a 30-day public comment period. For the
final proposal for the full study, after the field test NCES will
publish a notice in the Federal Register allowing an additional 30-day
public comment period on the final details of the 2024 main study.
