Project 2061: Blueprints Online: Survey

You are currently in

Welcome to the Blueprints Online Survey. The goal of this site is to stimulate further discussion of important education reform issues raised in Project 2061's Blueprints for Reform: Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education.

The results of the survey reflect the up-to-date rankings provided by all repondents. In addition to choosing a response, you may comment in writing.

To take part, complete the survey by responding to the questions. As background, you may want to read selected chapters in Blueprints for Reform (available in print from Oxford University Press or online). The survey will take you less than 5 minutes to finish.

Blueprints Online Survey

Blueprints for Reform examines 12 crucial areas of the education system that must work together and change to bring about needed reforms in science and mathematics education. These 12 areas are grouped in the following categories: The Foundation; The School Context; and The Support Structure. This survey will help us determine the most crucial areas to focus on. Future surveys will explore these top priority areas.

1. Rank the four Foundation areas from 1 (highest) to 4 (lowest) according to their impact on the current and future success of reform:

1	2	3	4
				Equity
				Policy
				Finance (funding for schools)
				Research (how students learn; instructional practices)

2. Rank the four School Context areas from 1 (highest) to 4 (lowest) according to their impact on the current and future success of reform:

1	2	3	4
				School Organization (governance, class size, schedules)
				Curriculum Connections (among and between disciplines)
				Materials and Technology (textbooks, computers, media)
				Assessment (national, state, local, classroom)

Comments:

3. Rank the four Support Structure areas from 1 (highest) to 4 (lowest) according to their impact on the current and future success of reform:

1	2	3	4
				Teacher Education
				Higher Education
				Family and Community
				Business and Industry

4. Rank the following issues according to their impact (positive or negative) on you or your institution's science and mathematics education reform efforts, from 1 (greatest impact) to 7 (least impact).

1	2	3	4	5	6	7
							State curriculum standards
							State assessment
							Textbook quality or availability
							School funding or finances
							International test results (TIMSS)
							Teacher preparation or quality
							Parent or family support
