Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship among student perception of knowledge, their levels of interest, and actual knowledge about drugs. Two-hundred and fifty-three college students responded to a knowledge and interest inventory as well as a knowledge test. Level of significance was set at .05 for both analysis of variance and correlation coefficients. No significant relationship was found to exist between perception of knowledge and actual level of knowledge. A significant relationship existed between interest and perception of knowledge. It is evident from these findings that instructors must be wary of setting classroom objectives based solely upon student expressed knowledge as it is not always accurately reflected.
