Abstract

This study evaluates the validity and reliability of a programmatic assessment survey to measure students’ expectations and perceptions of general education curriculum, and considers the extent to which scales are related to non-cognitive variables. The results showed that the scales are valid from both theoretical and statistical perspectives and highly reliable. Hierarchical linear models were applied to understand whether students’ perceptions of the curriculum vary as a function of gender, ethnicity, major, and length of study in college. Students’ perceptions of the curriculum were discovered to be insignificantly different from each other, and students with higher expectations of the curriculum had significantly higher perceptions of it. This research provides a significant addition to studies surrounding liberal learning. Understanding students’ expectations and perceptions of the curriculum provides insight into their underlying value system, and assists educational practitioners to measure the overall efficacy of the curriculum in general education.

大学生对综合研究课程的期望和认知的程序性评估调查的验证

本研究评估了一项计划性评估调查的有效性和可靠性，该调查旨在衡量学生对普通教育课程的期望和看法，并考虑了量表与非认知变量的相关程度。结果表明，该量表从理论和统计角度都是有效的，并且具有高度的可靠性。应用层次线性模型来了解学生对课程的看法是否随着性别、种族、专业和大学学习时间的变化而变化。研究发现，学生对课程的看法差异不大，对课程期望值越高的学生对课程看法就越高。这项研究为围绕自由学习的研究提供了重要的补充。了解学生对课程的期望和看法，可以深入了解他们潜在的价值体系，并帮助教育从业者衡量课程在普通教育中的整体效果。
