This survey was developed by the Ohio Sea Grant Education Program in 1979. It is been used every four years as a repeated measure of Ohio students' knowledge and attitudes about the oceans and Great Lakes, charting changes in those attributes as means of determining how well Ohio citizens are being prepared for decisionmaking about those bodies of water. The survey was modeled after Fortner's "Survey of Oceanic Attitudes and Knowledge" (SOAK), which was administered in Virginia to tenth graders in 1978. Questions for the SOAK were derived from a number of existing instruments and used with permission of the original authors. For applicability to Ohio efforts, questions were added to assess knowledge about the Great Lakes. The construction of the survey and a record of its use are discussed in this document. The three forms of the survey, which include semantic differentials and multiple-choice questions, and answers to the multiple-choice items constitute most of this document. (CW)
