Developed to assess congruence of intent and practice (the teacher's ideal and students' perceived real) in instruction of the gifted in the Illinois program, the Class Activities Questionnaire (CAQ) includes 25 forced choice items evaluating cognitive emphasis, classroom conditions, and student attitudes and reactions. Cognitive items were shown to be consistently identified with the appropriate level of the taxonomy of intellectual abilities. Field testing indicated that the CAQ could be used with grade 6 and above. Intercorrelation, factor, and reliability analyses demonstrated the CAQ to be an adequate instrument. Scoring procedures and interpretation are explained for each of the three areas evaluated. (JD)
