SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
NASA is committed to effectively performing the Agency's
communication function in accordance with the Space Act Section 203
(a)(3) to ``provide for the widest practicable and appropriate
dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results
thereof,'' and to enhance public understanding of, and participation
in, the nation's aeronautical and space program in accordance with the
NASA Strategic Plan. The NASA Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM)
administers the agency's national stem engagement and education
activities in support of the Space Act, including the performance
assessment and evaluation of OSTEM projects, programs and NASA STEM
engagement investments. This generic clearance will allow the NASA
OSTEM to continue to test and pilot with subject matter experts,
secondary students, higher education students, educators, and
interested parties new and existing information collection forms and
assessment instruments for the purposes of improvement and establishing
validity and reliability characteristics of the forms and instruments.
Existing information collections include the NASA Student STEM
Inventory (Grades 4-12), NASA OSTEM Educator Professional Development
(EPD) Pre- and Post-Workshop Learning Assessment (Surveys), NASA
Internship Program Evaluation (Internship Retrospective Survey,
Internship Experience Survey, and Semi-Structured Focus Group
Protocol), NASA CONNECTS Evaluation Survey and Focus Group Protocol,
MUREP Outcome Student Participant and Principal Investigator Focus
Group Protocols. Forms and instruments to be tested include program
application forms, customer satisfaction questionnaires, focus group
protocols, and project activity survey instruments. Methodological
testing will include focus group discussions, pilot surveys to test new
individual question items as well as the complete form and instrument.
In addition, test-retest and similar protocols will be used to
determine reliability characteristics of the forms and instruments.
Methodological testing will assure that forms and instruments
accurately and consistently collect and measure what they are intended
to measure and that data collection items are interpreted precisely and
consistently, all towards the goal of accurate Agency reporting while
improving the execution of NASA STEM Engagement activities.
II. Methods of Collection
Electronic, paper, and focus group interviews.
