An Adventist Curriculum Needs Assessment - A Global Survey of Secondary School Teachers
A 2005 survey of 837 Seventh-day Adventist high school or secondary teachers in 12 world divisions researched the following questions:
1. How do Adventist secondary teachers perceive the philosophy of integrating faith in learning? How, if at all, are they practicing this Adventist worldview?
2. To what extent are secondary teachers aware of available Adventist curriculum resources?
3. Which of these faith-integrating resources, if any, do secondary teachers actually use?
4. What kinds of resources, ideas and support are considered useful in integrating faith and learning in the classroom? How effective are resources actually used perceived to be?
5. What factors negatively impact teaching from an Adventist world view?
6. How can the needed resources best be delivered to Adventist secondary schools?
7. How have resource awareness, usage and needs changed since the first global survey of high school teachers in 1997?
