Title of Collection: 2024 Teaching and Learning International
Survey (TALIS 2024) International Field Test Questionnaire Revision.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0888.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,683.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,133.
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.
The previous submission (OMB #1850-0888 v.8) requested approval
for: (1) recruitment and pre-survey activities for the 2023 field test
sample; (2) administration of the field test; and (3) school
recruitment and pre-survey activities for the 2024 main study sample.
That package was approved in August 2022. This submission requests
approval for the final international versions of the principal and
teacher instruments approved for the TALIS 2024 Field Test. The final
U.S. adaptations of the 2024 core TALIS and TKS field test
questionnaires that will be administered in the TALIS 2024 U.S. Field
Test will be submitted to OMB as a non-substantive change request in
Winter 2022/23.
