4 NRC Meeting Amsterdam 16-19 Oct 2006 Proposed student background questions All of these draft questions are in a preliminary stage In particular questions on participation and communication may need further discussion and refinement Some questions will require national adaptations, which should be reviewed and documented (e.g. ISCED categories for parental education)

5 NRC Meeting Amsterdam 16-19 Oct 2006 Changes from CIVED Inclusion of questions on participation, communication and teaching (as factual student reports) Categories for parental and expected education with reference to international framework (ISCED) Re-writing of problematic CIVED items Addition of items (e.g. country of birth for parents)
