NAEP Technology & Engineering Literacy (TEL) Report Card

In 2018, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) administered a nationally representative assessment of technology and engineering literacy (TEL) at eighth grade. TEL was a fully digitally based assessment that asked students to solve real-world technology and engineering problems. Students used laptops to answer questions that assessed their knowledge and skills in understanding technological principles, solving technology and engineering-related problems, and using technology to communicate and collaborate. Students also answered survey questions asking about their opportunities to learn about and engage in technology and engineering in and outside of school. How did students perform in TEL?
