Changing Views on Education
by Freda Deskin
There is no doubt that public opinion about education has changed over the years. Phi Delta Kappa has been capturing those changing views in a yearly scientific survey since 1969. The survey is eagerly awaited by school leaders and others who are in a position to shape policy concerning education. Still, some policymakers and educators need to be made aware of the existence of this valuable and extensive survey.
Phi Delta Kappa (PDK) is an educational organization that publishes the “Kappan,” a monthly referred journal. The poll was the brainchild of two Denver-based foundation executives, Charles F. Kettering II and Edward A. Brainard. The two men enlisted George Gallup Sr. to conduct the first poll, which he did in April 1969.
The findings of the first poll were published in Phi Delta Kappan magazine in November 1969. Beginning in 1970, the poll has been published yearly in Kappan magazine.
The results of the poll are a random representative sample of U.S. adults. Details about the methodology and the questionnaire are shared with the public, and responses to every question are asked. All age groups, educational backgrounds, and economic, racial, and political sectors are included.
