Abstract:
NCES seeks OMB approval to survey adults (16-65 years old) for the 2010 field-test administration of the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). PIAAC is coordinated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (http://www.oecd.org/) and sponsored by the U.S. Departments of Education and Labor. PIAAC is the OECDs new international household study of adults literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving in technology-rich environments. It will also survey respondents about their education and employment experience and about the skills they use at work. PIAAC builds on previous international literacy assessments: the 2002 Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey (ALLS) and the 199498 International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS). PIAAC is expected to be on a 10-year cycle. In 2011, 27 countries, including 23 OECD-member countries, plan to participate. The U.S. PIAAC field test data collection will occur between August and November 2010. The main study will occur between September 2011 and March 2012. NCES will seek approval for the full-scale instruments in the fall of 2010.
