The CAAT Student Survey; An Affect Assessment Questionnaire for Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology's Adult Training Students.
Dudgeon, Paul J.; And Others
The adult training programs of the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology of the Ontario community college system are designed to provide adult students with secondary education degrees, commercial training, and technical training. In order to assess affective aspects of these programs, Canadore College developed a 174-item questionnaire and administered it to 758 adult training students representing a wide range of training courses at eight colleges. In addition, 218 of the 758 questionnaire recipients were interviewed to obtain feedback both about the instrument itself and about the issues it raised. Results indicated that adult students perceived 10 general problem areas: (1) dealing with the authority figures, (2) differentiating the areas of college responsibility from those of Manpower, (3) completing the secondary education degree within the 52-week maximum time period, (4) feelings of isolation accompanying individualized instruction, (5) feeling inferior to post-secondary students, (6) lack of information about college facilities, regulations, and courses, (7) lack of a physical education program, (8) pressures associated with testing, (9) irrelevance of required courses, and (10) antagonism toward some types of teachers. The questionnaire, which "needs to be condensed and revised," is appended. (DC)
