  1. NSSE 2009 Benchmark Report

  2. National Survey of Student Engagement • Alternative to USNews • Based on educational research and actual student experiences • Surveys first-year and senior students • Five key benchmarks: • Level of Academic Challenge • Student Faculty Interactions • Active and collaborative learning • Enriching Educational Experiences • Supportive Campus Environment • Given by Augustana in 2003, 2006, and 2009 • Comparative national user norms (640 institutions in 2009)

  3. Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education(Chickering & Gamson, 1987; Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005) Student-faculty contact Active learning Prompt feedback Time on task High expectations Experiences with diversity Cooperation among students

  4. High Impact Practices (Wabash National Study) Good teaching High quality SF interactions Out of class interactions Interest in student development Prompt feedback, clarity, organization Academic challenge/high expectations NSSE “deep learning” Diversity experiences Meaningful interactions

  5. Augustana Context: Recent Developments that may have impacted our NSSE results • A new general education curriculum (AGES) • A intentional effort to increase the amount of writing and other academic efforts of first-year students • Introduction of an emphasis on consideration of multiple viewpoints (“They Say, I Say”) • CSTL and other faculty development efforts focusing on teaching techniques • A general increase in enrollment, requiring expansion of first-year course sections • Recent hiring of several new tenure track faculty and faculty fellows along with a phased retirement program for senior faculty

  6. Notes on slide conventions: • A “+” or “-” in a column designates differences that were statistically significant at a minimum level of 0.05. A blank entry indicates a difference that was not statistically significant at that level. All differences are as compared to the Augustana 2009 results for first-year students (FY) or senior students (SR). • First-year level differences are colored blue and senior level differences are coded orange simply as a visual clue to the level forease of reading. • As the presenter’s editorial notations, items that are deemed a concern are noted with a red flag, results that appear notably favorable are noted with a green star. A blue star indicates areas that research indicates are particularly correlated with high student learning outcomes.

  27. Please see handout for: • Student faculty out of class interactions- Does our outlier time teaching in class mean we aren’t doing the job outside of class in advising, more informal interactions with students, etc.? (page 4) • Student Self Reported Growth – Is there more growth reported now by students experiencing AGES? (page 9)
