Abstract:
The NASA Office of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (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. 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.

Short Statement:
We request an increase to the burden hours by 795 hours to: 1) expand the number of participating programs in which we can administer survey instruments for testing including but not limited to the NASA Student STEM Inventory (Grades 4-12), NASA OSTEM Educator Professional Development (EPD) Pre- and Post-Workshop Learning Assessment Surveys, and MUREP Outcome Student Participant and Principal Investigator Focus Group Protocols which is estimated to be 161.66 Burden Hours; 2) conduct testing of additional modifications to the NASA Student STEM Inventory (Grades 4-12), Internship Experience Survey, and Internship Retrospective Survey which is estimated to be 166.67 Burden Hours; and 3) provide an additional 466.67 burden hours for testing of any potential new instrument(s) to support evaluation and assessment interests of NASA STEM Engagement Investments and Stakeholders. With this increase we’ll be able to conduct all planned testing activities and support any potential new requests over the next three year term.
