An Introduction: NSSE and the Concept of Student Engagement

Time on task (Tyler, 1930s)Quality of effort (Pace, 1960-70s)Student involvement (Astin, 1984)Social, academic integration (Tinto, 1987, 1993)Good practices in undergraduate education (Chickering & Gamson, 1987)College impact (Pascarella, 1985)Student engagement (Kuh, 1991, 2005)Foundations of Student Engagement

What Really Matters in College: Student EngagementBecause individual effort and involvement are the critical determinants of impact, institutions should focus on the ways they can shape their academic, interpersonal, and extracurricular offerings to encourage student engagement. Pascarella & Terenzini, How College Affects Students, 2005, p. 602

The Student Engagement TrinityWhat students do -- time and energy devoted to educationally purposeful activities

What institutions do -- using effective educational practices to induce students to do the right things

Educationally effective institutions channel student energy toward the right activities

National Survey of Student Engagement(pronounced nessie)

College student survey that assesses the extent to which students engage in educational practices associated with high levels of learning and development

Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education(Chickering & Gamson, 1987; Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005)Student-faculty contactActive learningPrompt feedbackTime on taskHigh expectationsExperiences with diversityCooperation among students

Survey AdministrationAdministered to random samples of first-year & senior students Paper & Web-based surveyFlexible to accommodate consortium questionsMultiple follow-ups to increase response rates

How Valid is Self-Reported Data?Research Confirms Self-Reported Data Validity When Following Conditions Exist Requested information is known to respondentsQuestions are clear and unambiguousRespondents take questions seriously and thoughtfullyAnswering does not threaten, embarrass, or violate privacy or compel a socially desirable response

The NSSE survey instrument was designed to meet these conditions
