Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Department of DefenseEducation Activity (DoDEA) NonSponsored Research Program—Research Study Request form; DoDEA Form 2071.3–F1; OMB Control Number:

0704–0457.

Needs and Uses: The DoDEA receives requests from researchers to conduct non-DoDEA sponsored research studies in DoDEA schools, districts, and/or areas. To review the proposed research requests, DoDEA is seeking renewal for the DoDEA Administrative Instruction 2071.3 (DoDEA AI 2071.3) that includes Form 1, ‘‘Research Study Request.’’ The DoDEA ‘‘Research Study Request’’ collects information about the researcher, the research project, audience, timeline, and the statistical analyses that will be conducted during the proposed research study. This information is needed to ensure that the proposed non-DoDEA sponsored research does not unduly interfere with the classroom instructional process or the regular operations of the school, district, and/or areas.

Affected Public: Individuals or households.

Annual Burden Hours: 50 hours. Number of Respondents: 50. Responses per Respondent: 1. Total Annual Responses: 50. Average Burden per Response: 1 hour. Frequency: On Occasion. The DoDEA Administrative Instruction 2071.3 (DoDEA AI 2071.3) follows the DoD Directive 3216.2, ‘‘Protection of Human Subjects andAdherence to Ethical Standards in DoDSupported Research,’’ March 25, 2002, which states that ‘‘The rights and welfare of human subjects in research supported or conducted by the DoD Components shall be protected. This protection encompasses basic respect for persons, beneficence, and justice in the selection of subjects.’’ To ensure that all non-DoDEA sponsored research conducted in the DoDEA school system aligns with these directives, DoDEA created the DoDEA AI 2071.3-Form 1, ‘‘Research Study Request’’ that collects information that is necessary to review the proposed research study. The ‘‘Research Study Request’’ is required from individuals or organizations who wish to conduct research that involve DoDEA school personnel, school facilities, sponsors, students, and/or data. This documentation is required to show that the research meets all the requirements for human subjects protection, has scientific merit, and does not unduly interfere with the classroom instructional process or the regular operations of the school, district, and/or areas. Information collected on the DoDEA AI 2071.3-Form 1 includes the researchers name, address, telephone number, email address, FAX number (if available), school affiliation (if applicable), the study title, and the study methodology, including the hypotheses to be tested, the proposed population, and the statistical methodologies that will be employed.

Abstract: The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an international assessment of 15-year-olds’ knowledge, skills, and competencies primarily in three subject areas: science, reading, and mathematics literacy. PISA was first administered in 2000 and is conducted every three years. The sixth cycle of PISA, in 2015, will be administered in approximately 70 countries and jurisdictions. The United States has participated in all of the previous cycles and will participate in 2015 in order to track trends and to compare the performance of U.S. students with that in other education systems. As in 2006, in PISA 2015, science will be the major subject domain. PISA 2015 will also include computer-based assessments in reading, mathematics, collaborative problem
