Abstract | Two questionnaires were constructed in 1985 as part of the overall Study of Stanford and the Schools. The survey instruments focused respectively on high school student and teacher opinions of their various Advanced Placement (AP) classroom experiences and their academic expectations for AP students based on these classroom experiences. The questionnaires were distributed to 325 sophomore through senior AP students and 20 AP teachers from three California Bay area high schools. Student and teacher ratings of their AP course experiences are reported, and several relationships between student classroom experiences and academic self-concept are presented. Indications are that students value learning how to learn under the direction of inspiring teachers, no matter what the field of study. Ninety-two percent of the teachers rate AP programs as good or excellent, as well as challenging to students and teachers. Further analysis and results are still to be reported. The study instruments are included. Contains 3 references. (Author/SM) |
