- Summary:
-
This report describes the results of a field test of "Federalism", a program from "The U.S. Constitution", an instructional video program series for secondary school students developed by the Agency for Instructional Technology (AIT) in association with Project '87. The participants of the preview are teachers and students in middle, junior high, and high schools in Illinois and Indiana. The teachers' responses are favorable to the video's content, the narration by William Moyers, and its appropriateness for grades 7-12. While the students' responses are favorable, they reacted negatively to the video's animation segments citing them as hard to understand and the documentary narration as boring. AIT feels that the students found the dramatic segments so compelling that this compensated for the students' negative reactions to the animation and documentary segments. The appendices include: (1) a list of participating schools; (2) the student questionnaire with responses in percentiles; (3) the teacher responses with tabulated responses; and (4) the discussion questions.
