Goshen College's Center for Intercultural Learning is in the process of completing their Education-Community Study that they have been working on in collaboration with the Institute of Latino Studies at Notre Dame. As the final component of that project, they want to pilot an online survey that can also be used more broadly later on (perhaps next year). The study is a pilot study designed to test the validity and reliability of the instrument. The sample for this study would be 10th grade students.
As its focus the survey will gather information about the students’ experiences of school, extra-curricular activities and peer groups, the students’ plans for the immediate and long-term future and the role parents play in the students’ education. The survey will help to identify any challenges the students face in regards to academic achievement and post-secondary opportunities and any barriers to their successful integration into the high school environment. In addition, the survey will identify social and cultural resources the students use to succeed in school.
