This report describes the various technical, operational and administrative procedures of the NAP– ICT Literacy 2022 assessment. It should be read in conjunction with the NAP–ICT Literacy 2022 Public Report, which presents a summary of the cognitive and contextual analysis of the data collected in the 2022 cycle. The assessment instrument used in NAP–ICT Literacy 2022 was based on the design principles established for NAP–ICT Literacy 2005, which continued through the assessment cycles in 2008, 2011, 2014 and 2017. The assessment was computer-based and included a broad range of task formats including multiple-choice, short text response, and simulated and authentic software applications. The NAP–ICT Literacy 2022 assessment was based on a nationally representative sample of 636 schools with 9,981 participating students, of which 5,412 were from Year 6 and 4,569 were from Year 10. In addition to the test of ICT knowledge and skills, students were also surveyed about their behaviours and attitudes regarding the use of ICTs at school and outside of school
