An Evaluation of the Search for Solutions Film Series: A National Survey.
Enochs, Larry G.
The Search for Solutions (SFS) film series has been a popular and important component of many school science programs ranging from elementary to college level. Phillips Petroleum Corporation, funding agent for the SFS, reported that by 1984 some 26,000 schools, 83 percent of all public and private schools, had used the series. In addition, some 84 million students had viewed the films prior to January 1984. The continued popularity of the SFS series attests to its perceived effectiveness on the part of teachers. However, it is not clear just what effects on students, both in terms of achievement and attitudes, result from the series. In addition, many strategies have been developed by teachers to use this series. This evaluation was designed to assess teacher perceptions resulting from the use of the SFS series and to further determine various instructional strategies and their effectiveness. Items discussed include the background of the program, the survey development and administration, and qualitative and quantitative findings of the survey. A copy of the survey is included.
