Conflict, Politics, and Freedom Program. A Partial Evaluation Report.
California Univ., Los Angeles. Committee on Civic Education.
This report, one part of the evaluation program of the Committee on Civic Education to determine the impact of the committee's instructional program, "Conflict, Politics, and Freedom," consists of a questionnaire, with responses from the sample of 54 out of 104 contacted teachers, displayed in graphs and by lists of comments. The data are graphed by percent of teachers' responses at each grade level, by totals, and by regions. Interpretation of the data should take into account the little time available to teachers to familiarize themselves with and teach the units. The major hypotheses of this program are: (1) that teachers and students want educational materials that attempt to present controversial issues in the classroom, (2) that this practice has a generally favorable effect on students, and (3) that it would not undermine students' respect for the American system or for reasonable rules and authority. The questionnaire covers the following: units and grades taught by each teacher, reactions to the teaching guide, opinions on content of an approach to materials, the student text, teachers' observations of student reactions and behavioral changes, changes in the students' relationships to authority figures and to school rules, and profiles of the teachers.
