The Dimensionality of Educational Beliefs
Abstract
dc:descriptionFrom numerous polls, surveys, and personal experience of school administrators, it is clear that lay citizens hold a variety of beliefs about education. It is not clear, however, to what extent these beliefs are organized along the lines of several more embracing ideologies or movements in education. This research explores three major questions. First, are the educational beliefs held by citizens structured in some systematic way and, if so, are these beliefs ordered along one or more dimensions? Second, are certain social status characteristics related to certain educational beliefs? Third, is residential location (urban, rural, suburban) of the respondent related to specific educational beliefs?
