This investigation is directed toward an analysis of the dynamics of the learning situations in a variety of public school elementary and secondary classrooms. The focus of the project is to make a comparative analysis of the patterns of cooperation or alienation among parents, teachers, peers and individual pupils which create learning cultures of differing productivity. Questionnaires and group interviews with teachers and pupils and classroom observation provide the data for evaluation. Investigation and analysis is made in the following areas: the determinants and effects of a pupil's perception of his parents' attitudes toward school; the relationships of peer liking patterns in the classroom to pupil attitudes and performance; the relationship of teacher attitudes to pupil attitudes and performance; the relative impact of parent, peer, and teacher factors on pupil performance; and the determinants and effects of teacher-pupil compatibility patterns. An appendix contains the sociometric questions used in the collection of data. This document was previously submitted as ED 001 230. (Several pages may be light.) (Author/SHM)
