Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Public Opinion Survey on Education in Indiana is a longitudinal effort to identify and monitor Indiana residents' attitudes toward and perceptions of public education issues. The study reports public opinion on issues of major importance concerning public schools and K-12 education policy. The Benchmark Survey was conducted in November 2003 and reflects the responses from 1,001 telephone interviews conducted from a random sample of Indiana households. As was the case with the previous two surveys, the Year 3 Survey was conducted in late fall 2005. Results of the Year 3 Survey, the second follow-up survey to the Benchmark Survey, consist of the opinions of 605 completed telephone interviews of a random sample of Indiana households. Appended are: (1) Summary Tables for Open-ended Question 3B; and (2) Demographic Results by Question. (Contains 1 table.).

Book excerpt: The 2006 Public Opinion Survey on Education in Indiana gauged the attitudes and perceptions of a representative sample of Hoosiers on such key educational issues as kindergarten and pre-kindergarten programs, No Child Left Behind and P.L. 221, school funding and taxes, teacher quality, school choice and charter schools, and the achievement gap in the state. This is the fourth consecutive year that the Center for Evaluation & Education Policy (CEEP) at Indiana University Bloomington has conducted the Public Opinion Survey on Education in Indiana. The responses came from a representative survey sample of 612 adult residents including both parents and non-parents. The survey found that, as a whole, Hoosiers continue to hold positive attitudes about public K-12 schools, but non-whites were more likely than whites to give unfavorable ratings. Furthermore, citizens from southern Indiana held the most favorable opinion of the overall quality of schools in Indiana. School funding was an issue for many respondents, but a new question containing information on per-pupil expenditures resulted in lower numbers of residents indicating that funding levels were too low. A total of 82% of respondents in 2006 stated that they would support state funding for voluntary pre-school for at-risk children, compared to 78% in 2005. Concerning kindergarten issues, 75% of citizens supported mandatory kindergarten attendance for students, down from 83% in 2005. Closing the achievement gap is a priority for Hoosiers: 94 percent of respondents indicated that this issue has at least some importance, surpassing the national Gallup / Phi Delta Kappa Poll result of 88 percent. For those 32% expressing positive comments about the direction of public education in their community during the past five years the most frequently cited reasons were better curriculum, more programs, increased competition and more emphasis on results, new or improved facilities and equipment, computers in schools, and teachers doing a better job in the classroom. Those who indicated that schools had declined over the last five years (15 percent) cited an insufficient emphasis on education and students not learning enough, fewer teachers and larger classes, poor discipline and classroom management, inadequate teacher performance and a decline in teacher commitment, and reduced funding for schools. This report contains four chapters: (I) Introduction; (II) Methodology; (III) Summary of Key Findings: and (IV) Detailed Results, comprising: (A) Overall Evaluation of Schools; (B) School Funding; (C) Early Childhood Education Initiatives; (D) ISTEP+ and Standards; (E) School Choice and Charter Schools; (F) High Quality Teachers; (G) No Child Left Behind Act and PL 221; and (H) Achievement Gap in Indiana. Appendix A presents Summary Tables for Open-ended Question 3B; and Appendix B presents Demographic Results by Question.

Book excerpt: The purposes of the 2003 Public Opinion Survey on Education in Indiana are to serve as a standardized approach for reliable measurement of public opinion, to allow for reliable comparisons to results of similar survey research projects, and to provide a research methodology that facilitates replication in the future and comparisons of results across years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the course of each calendar year since 2003, staff of the Center for Evaluation & Education Policy (CEEP) at Indiana University evaluates the benefits of continuing the Annual Public Opinion Survey on K-12 Education in Indiana. In 2008, the Indiana legislature determined that school corporations would no longer use property tax revenues to support General Fund operations and state revenue sources would cover the lost funds of approximately $1.3 billion. Significant changes in economic conditions in the U.S. and within Indiana also had the potential to sway public attitudes and perceptions about government services, including K-12 public education. The report contains four chapters: (I) Introduction; (II) Methodology; (III) Summary of Statewide Findings; and (IV) Detailed Demographic Results. Chapter III and IV each contain information by: (A) Overall Evaluation of Schools; (B) School Funding; (C) School District Consolidation and Governance; (D) Charter Schools and School Choice; (E) Virtual Education; (F) High Quality Teachers; and (G) No Child Left Behind Act. Appendix A presents Summary Tables for Open-ended Question 5B; and Appendix B presents Detailed Results Tables by Question. (Contains 1 footnote and 1 table; Summary tables are unnumbered.)

Book excerpt: The purpose of the "Indiana K-12 & School Choice Survey" is to measure public opinion on, and in some cases awareness or knowledge of, a range of K-12 education topics and school choice reforms. The Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice developed this project in partnership with Braun Research, Inc., who conducted the live phone call interviews, collected the survey data, and provided data quality control. This report describes and compares response levels, margins, and intensities for the statewide sample and observed demographic groups. A total of 1,845 telephone interviews were completed from November 11 to December 1, 2015, by means of both landline and cell phone. A randomly selected and statistically representative statewide sample of registered voters in Indiana responded to more than 30 substantive items in live phone interviews. Statistical results have been weighted to correct for known demographic discrepancies. The margin of sampling error for the statewide sample is ł 3.1 percentage points. During field work, an initial statewide sample that included 1,002 interviews with registered voters was established. Researchers then continued phone interviews by oversampling five regions to achieve at least 300 completed interviews for regional subgroups: (1) Indianapolis Metro (n = 400); (2) Northeast (n = 403); (3) Northwest (n = 301); (4) Southeast (n = 300); and (5) Southwest (n = 300). The Friedman Foundation conducted a shorter survey in Indiana five years ago. Comparing results between 2010 and 2015, and saw remarkably similar findings on five common questions. Average voter mood about K-12 education remains negative. Researchers detect some decreased support for general definitions of public charter schools and school vouchers. However, the fundamental message remains the same: Hoosiers in late 2015 were still roughly "twice as likely to be favorable toward these reform concepts rather than opposed". The organization of this paper has two sections. The first section describes key findings and presents charts for additional context. The second section details the survey's methodology, summarizes response statistics, and provides additional technical information on call dispositions for landline and cell phone interviews and weighting.
