The National Assessment for Scientific temperament and Aptitude (NASTA) framework describes what skills and knowledge should be assessed in each subject area. The framework is developed by Academic Sub-Committee of KAMP Planning and Monitoring committee (KPMC) and individual assessment questions are developed, reviewed, and refined by educators, and experts. Survey questionnaires are also developed and administered as part of NASTA to contextualize the assessment results with student educational experiences.
The Academic-Sub Committee of KPMC is responsible for developing both the framework and test specifications that serve as the blueprint for the assessment. For each framework, the Academic-Sub Committee works with a committee of subject matter experts, practitioners, and members of the general public—including researchers, educators, business leaders, and policymakers—to develop a rich and rigorous set of standards that define what students should know and be able to do in a particular subject. In order to measure trends in student performance, NASTA frameworks are designed to remain stable for as long as possible.
At the same time, the framework is responsive to changes in national and international standards and curricula. Without advocating any particular approach to instruction, NASTA frameworks provide a starting point for constructive conversations about high-quality educational standards and assessments.
KAMP Planning and Monitoring Committee formed by CSIR-NIScPR approves all final frameworks and test specifications.
