520 | |a Data from the Gallup Polls of Public Attitudes Toward Education, administered in 1974, 1977, 1980, and 1983, were re-analyzed using multivariate analysis methods. An attempt was made to determine what segments of the public demonstrated support or non-support for the public schools. Survey responses were available for over 1500 people for each year. The respondents gave letter grades to evaluate the schools, resulting in a grade point average. These grades were analyzed using three statistical methods: (1) analysis of variance; (2) log linear analysis; and (3) path analysis. Finally, a logit analysis was performed to determine the relative strength of the variables that had a direct effect on the grades. The results showed that negative opinions were held by non-public school parents, residents of large cities, young adults under age 30, and people who felt that schools had academic problems. Positive assessments of public schools were held by public school parents, people over the age of 50, and people who felt that schools did not have academic problems. Sex, race, religion, geographic region, and social problems did not affect respondents' ratings. Results also indicated a decline in the rating between the 1974 and 1983 surveys. The questionnaire is appended. (Author/GDC) | ||
