NAEP Technical DocumentationQuestionnaires Over the Internet

As part of the NAEP assessment, teachers and school officials can respond to NAEP questionnaires online. This system requires that the teacher or school official use his or her school identification number and paper questionnaire identification number to sign into the system. Once a questionnaire has been completed online, its data is uploaded to the database and transmitted to the scoring center. Once the data from the internet-captured questionnaires and traditionally processed (paper-and-pencil) questionnaires are merged, data are delivered to the data analysis center to be added to the NAEP database.

This system was first introduced in the 2001 assessment, when electronic versions of the teacher questionnaires were available only for fourth-grade teachers. Eighth- and twelfth-grade teachers whose students participated in the assessment submitted the traditional paper-and-pencil questionnaires. All three versions of the school questionnaire (the grade 4 version, the grade 8 version, and the grade 12 version) were offered electronically.
