What Do Introductory Sociology Students Know and When Do They Know It? The Results of Pretesting Students.

Szafran, Robert F.

Teaching Sociology, v14 n4 p217-23 Oct 1986

Using results from three classes (n = 324) taught by the author, this study shows, among other findings, that students with high grade point averages, well-educated parents, and previous college experience tend to know more sociological facts, concepts, theories, and methods. Impact and advantages of pretesting are discussed. (JDH)
