College Ready Curriculum Development Survey: Student and Teacher Beliefs

Abstract

"College Ready participants have been encouraged to revise curriculum materials in ways that will better serve their students and be consistent with their instructional resources. To help guide decisions about the revision of curriculum, participants each year have been given the opportunity to survey their students readiness to learn. These surveys have addressed student beliefs about the nature of knowledge, the nature of science, and their role in learning. Teachers have also been given the opportunity to complete similar surveys that can inform curriculum development by investigating the accuracy of the teachers perception of student beliefs. Summaries of these comparisons are provided here for all courses for which both College Ready teachers and their students responded to the survey."
