Essential Secondary Science Assessment (ESSA)

Surveys used in ESSA

ESSA is employing surveys to broaden the range of information collected within the ESSA program.

Parent surveys

Results of the 2008 ESSA parent survey (52kb pdf), the 2007 ESSA parent survey (52kb pdf),  the 2006 ESSA parent survey results (52kb pdf) and the 2005 ESSA parent survey (31kb pdf) can be downloaded.

Student surveys

At each step in the testing process, students have been surveyed about their values and attitudes to science and to the test. Results from the ESSA 2007 and ESSA 2006 test survey are available through SMART. Results of other surveys are available to teachers in NSW DET schools, using a password, on the ESSA webpages of the DET intranet.

Teacher surveys

Teachers have been surveyed about their responses to the ESSA test, to workshops and to involvement in marking processes.
