This study presents the second of four reports of the |
|
results of the 1970-71 National Assessment of Literature. |
|
The educational attainments of nine-year-olds, thirteen- |
|
year-olds, seventeen-year-olds, and adults (ages 26-35) |
|
were surveyed according to the subjects' ability to |
|
become engaged in, find meanings in, and evaluate a work |
|
of literature. Respondents made verbal remarks about |
|
poems and stories; these remarks were taperecorded and |
|
classified according to four categories developed by Alan |
|
Purves and Victoria Rippere: engagement-involvement, |
|
perception, interpretation, and evaluation. The |
|
respondents also wrote essays about stories or poems; |
|
these essays were classified as inadequate, barely |
|
adequate, adequate, or superior. The bulk of this report |
|
consists of sample responses to the exercises; judgments |
|
about the worth and implications of the responses are |
|
left to the reader. (Some charts have poor |
|
reproducibility due to type size; pages 179-231 |
|
containing statistical data of results are omitted |
|
because of nonreproducibility due to type size.) (DI) |
|
Primary type of information provided by report: Results |
|
(Topical). |
