Level of Academic Engagement All Students Overall 12th 11th 10th Grade 9th Grade IB Non-IB Source: Data from 2008 HSSSE Survey, Indiana University School of Education Types of Questions Asked in This Dimension Hours spent in a typical week: Reading and studying for class Teachers try to engage me in classroom discussions How often have you: Worked on a paper or project that required you to do research outside of assigned texts? How often have you: Connected ideas or concepts from one class (or subject area) to another? Page 27

34 Conclusions The conclusion of the studies undertaken for this project is that students who are exposed to the IB curriculum are learning material that is highly aligned with the expectations of university faculty and that in many cases IB standards exceed those expectations.
