  2. National Survey of Student Engagement NSSE

  3. National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) • Since inception more than 1,400 BA granting colleges and universities have used • NSSE 2010 • 589 institutions • Average response rate: 37% • Practices associated with “deep learning” • Student behaviors and institutional practices • Student reported impact • Items; Five subscales (“NSSE benchmarks”)

  4. Why Schools Use NSSE • To participate in a national effort to improve undergraduate quality • To use a research-based, psychometrically sound tool • To compare performance against peer institutions • To examine patterns of strengths and weaknesses within Gallaudet, across time, and across different student groups • To guide and monitor institutional improvement • To incorporate student engagement results in self-studies, accreditation, and accountability

  5. NSSE Data for Prospective Students and the Public • USA Today Website is providing NSSE benchmark information on universities (voluntary) • http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/nsse.htm

  6. NSSE Analysis: Subscales

  7. National Survey of Student Engagement • EXAMPLE NSSE ITEMS • Number of papers written • Made a class presentation • Discussed assignments with instructor • Discussed career plans with a faculty member /advisor • Talking with students of a different race or ethnicity • Quality of relationships with administrative personnel and offices BENCHMARKS (Subscales) Level of Academic Challenge Active and Collaborative Learning Student-Faculty Interaction Enriching Educational Experiences Supportive Campus Environment

  8. Reviewing and Reporting NSSE Data • SUBSCALES (%) • Comparisons to NSSE average • See Executive Summary, page 4 • Comparisons to designated peers • East-coast universities, Carnegie class, Private universities • Comparisons to “highly engaged” IHE’s (Top 50%, Top 10%) • Comparisons to our past % (2004, 2005 - 2007)

  9. NSSE Findings: SubscalesGallaudet First Year Students • Level of academic challenge • Lower than peers, but not significantly * • Active and collaborative learning • Significantly higher than average • Student-faculty interaction • Significantly higher than average • Enriching educational experience • Lower than peers, but not significantly lower than average * • Supportive campus environment • Lower than peers, but not significantly lower than average ALL subscales have increasedfor first year students since the last GU NSSE Survey in 2008 * In 2008 these were significantly lower than peers
