Download or read book Teachers versus the Public written by Paul E. Peterson and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive exploration of 21st Century school politics, Teachers versus the Public offers the first comparison of the education policy views of both teachers and the public as a whole, and reveals a deep, broad divide between the opinions held by citizens and those who teach in the public schools. Among the findings: • Divisions between teachers and the public are wider and deeper than differences between other groups often thought to contest school policy, such as Republicans and Democrats, the young and the old, the rich and the poor, or African Americans and whites. • The teacher-public gap is widest on such issues as merit pay, teacher tenure reform, impact of teacher unions, school vouchers, charter schools, and requirements to test students annually. • Public support for school vouchers for all students, charter schools, and parent trigger laws increases sharply when people are informed of the national ranking of student performance in their local school district. • Public willingness to give local schools high marks, its readiness to support higher spending levels, and its support for teacher unions all decline when the public learns the national ranking of their local schools. • On most issues, teacher opinion does not change in response to new information nearly as much as it does for the public as a whole. In fact, the gap between what teachers and the public think about school reform grows even wider when both teachers and the public are given more information about current school performance, current expenditure levels, and current teacher pay. The book provides the first experimental study of public and teacher opinion. Using a recently developed research strategy, the authors ask differently worded questions about the same topic to randomly chosen segments of representative groups of citizens. This approach allows them to identify the impact on public opinion of new information on issues such as
Book Synopsis Virginia's Opinion on K-12 Education and School Choice. School Choice Survey in the State by : Paul DiPerna
Download or read book Virginia's Opinion on K-12 Education and School Choice. School Choice Survey in the State written by Paul DiPerna and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This statistically representative survey of 1,203 likely Virginia voters illustrates public opinion on a wide range of K-12 education issues. The underlying purpose of the Friedman Foundation's state surveys is to measure voter knowledge and attitudes toward public institutions and policies, innovative ideas, and the state's K-12 education system. The survey results shed light on the major disconnect between parental schooling preferences and actual school enrollments. 40% of parents said they would prefer a regular public school for their child. Approximately 90% of Virginia's enrolled K-12 students attend regular public schools. 39% of K-12 parents say they would like to send their child to a private school. In reality, however, approximately 9% of Virginia's K-12 students attend private schools. 11% of parents in our survey would prefer to homeschool their child. According to data collected by the Virginia Department of Education, just under 2% of the state's children are homeschooled. 8% of parents say they would like to send their child to a charter school. Currently there are only three charter schools in operation in Virginia, serving approximately 190 students. Findings include: (1) The state's Democrats (D), Republicans (R), and Independents (I) share common ground on tax-credit scholarships and school vouchers; (2) More Virginians say the state's public school system is either "good" or "excellent" (62%) rather than "fair" or "poor" (31%); (3) Virginia voters do not know the per-pupil costs within the public school system; (4) When asked, "if it were your decision and you could select any type of school, what type of school would you select in order the obtain the best education for your child?", likely voters in the state responded: Regular Public Schools (42%); Private Schools (35%); Charter Schools (10%); Homeschooling (9%); and Virtual Schools (1%); (5) Virginians are much more likely to favor (65%) a tax-credit scholarship system, rather than oppose (23%) such a system; (6) When asked about school vouchers, 57% of likely voters say they favor them, compared to 35% who oppose; (7) A large majority of Virginians (79%) favor a recent proposal to allow school vouchers for special needs students; (8) Virginia voters clearly favor performance pay for teachers. They are much more likely to favor (62%), rather than oppose (28%), such a policy; (9) Respondents were presented a series of statements, and were asked whether a given scenario was likely or unlikely to occur "if a tax-credit scholarship system is implemented in Virginia." The following are respondent forecasts: 79% say it is unlikely "Public schools will close;" 79% say it is likely "Parents will need better information for decisions;" 72% say it is likely "Parents will have more options;" 72% say it is likely "Public schools and private schools will have incentives to improve;" 61% say it is likely "Public schools and private schools will compete for students;" 59% say it is unlikely "Private schools will not be accountable;" and 50% say it is likely "Parents will have more power."

Book Synopsis A Loud but Noisy Signal? by : Marius R. Busemeyer
Download or read book A Loud but Noisy Signal? written by Marius R. Busemeyer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This path-breaking addition to the Comparative Politics of Education series studies the influence of public opinion on the contemporary politics of education reform in Western Europe. The authors analyze new data from a survey of public opinion on education policy across eight countries, and they also provide detailed case studies of reform processes based on interviews with policy-makers and stakeholders. The book's core finding is that public opinion has the greatest influence in a world of 'loud' politics, when salience is high and attitudes are coherent. In contrast, when issues are salient but attitudes are conflicting, the signal of public opinion turns 'loud, but noisy' and party politics have a stronger influence on policy-making. In the case of 'quiet' politics, when issue salience is low, interest groups are dominant. This book is required reading for anyone seeking to make sense of policy-makers' selective responsiveness to public demands and concerns.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Education Policy Research by : Gary Sykes
Download or read book Handbook of Education Policy Research written by Gary Sykes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 1062 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published by Routledge for the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Educational policy continues to be of major concern. Policy debates about economic growth and national competitiveness, for example, commonly focus on the importance of human capital and a highly educated workforce. Defining the theoretical boundaries and methodological approaches of education policy research are the two primary themes of this comprehensive, AERA-sponsored Handbook. Organized into seven sections, the Handbook focuses on (1) disciplinary foundations of educational policy, (2) methodological perspectives, (3) the policy process, (4) resources, management, and organization, (5) teaching and learning policy, (6) actors and institutions, and (7) education access and differentiation. Drawing from multiple disciplines, the Handbook’s over one hundred authors address three central questions: What policy issues and questions have oriented current policy research? What research strategies and methods have proven most fruitful? And what issues, questions, and methods will drive future policy research? Topics such as early childhood education, school choice, access to higher education, teacher accountability, and testing and measurement cut across the 63 chapters in the volume. The politics surrounding these and other issues are objectively analyzed by authors and commentators. Each of the seven sections concludes with two commentaries by leading scholars in the field. The first considers the current state of policy design, and the second addresses the current state of policy research. This book is appropriate for scholars and graduate students working in the field of education policy and for the growing number of academic, government, and think-tank researchers engaged in policy research.

This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative analyses of the influence of public opinion on education policy in developed countries. Although research has suggested a variety of changes to education policy that have the potential to improve educational outcomes, politicians are often reluctant to implement such evidence-based reforms. Public opinion and pressure by interest groups would seem to have a greater role in shaping education policy than insights drawn from empirical data. The construction of a comparative political economy of education that seeks to explain policy differences among nations is long overdue. This book offers the first comparative inventory and analysis of public opinion and education in developed countries, drawing on data primarily from Europe and the United States.
