-
The 1990 Hawaii Opinion Poll on Public Education (HOPPE) identifies state trends in public opinion on educational issues and questions, and compares them to the findings of the national Gallup Poll of the Public's Attitudes toward the Public Schools. A random sample of 505 adult residents statewide responded to telephone interviews. The following findings are reported: (1) parents of students rated Hawaii's schools higher than the nation's schools; (2) over two-thirds believed that the schools had stayed the same or improved over the past five years, but slightly less than half believed that children now get a better education than they themselves received; (3) drug abuse was identified as the biggest problem facing the schools; (4) over half of the respondents did not think that the schools were safe and secure; (5) a large proportion reported that they did not know what services, besides teaching, the schools should provide; (6) parent involvement and school-/community-based management were unequivocally supported; (7) most parents reported that they would like their child to choose teaching as a career; (8) a required teacher internship prior to teacher certification was overwhelmingly supported; (9) a majority supported a uniform national curriculum, goals and standards, and testing; (10) only half supported a community service requirement for high school graduation; (11) newspapers were identified as the chief source of information about education; and (12) most saw the goal of education as preparation for good jobs and a better life, which good jobs can help provide. Statistical data are presented in 30 tables. A table comparing of the demographic characteristics of the respondents to those of the state's population and to those of the respondents to the Gallup Poll, and a copy of the survey questionnaire, are appended.
