Abstract

Adults’ beliefs and knowledge about the state of the U.S. education system drive decisions about policy, funding, program adoption, student participation in programs, and the selection of decision makers to elected positions. Amie Rapaport and Anna Rosefsky Saavedra share national survey data showing that U.S. adults have little knowledge about what is being taught in schools, express neutrality about belief systems undergirding education policy, and report experiences misaligned with hard-data trends on student academic progress in recent years. With adults reporting they learn about issues crucial to our education system mainly from “personal experience,” better information has the potential to improve U.S. education.

成年人对公共教育了解多少？

成年人对美国教育系统现状的信念和了解，推动着有关政策、资金、项目采用、学生参与项目以及遴选决策者担任民选职位等方面的决策。阿米-拉帕波特（Amie Rapaport）和安娜-罗斯福斯基-萨维德拉（Anna Rosefsky Saavedra）分享的全国调查数据显示，美国成年人对学校的教学内容知之甚少，对支撑教育政策的信仰体系表示中立，并报告了与近年来学生学业进步的硬数据趋势不一致的经历。成人报告说，他们主要从 "个人经历 "中了解对我们的教育系统至关重要的问题，因此，更好的信息有可能改善美国的教育。
