I am officially retired! After 36 years of Missouri higher education I am closing this chapter of my career, July 1, 2020. My journey started simply…
Approximately 1.2 million first-year and senior students from 511 institutions (489 in the US, 16 in Canada, and 6 in other countries) were invited to participate in NSSE 2018. Of this population, 289,867 students responded to the survey. Less than half (46%) of these were first-year students and 54% were seniors.
The average response rate for U.S. NSSE 2018 institutions was 30%. The highest response rate among U.S. institutions was 88%, and three out of five achieved a response rate of 25% or higher. Higher average response rates were observed for smaller institutions and for institutions offering incentives (Table 2).
The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) collects information from first-year and senior students about the characteristics and quality of their undergraduate experience. Since the inception of the survey, more than 1,600 bachelor’s-granting colleges and universities in the United States and Canada have used it to measure the extent to which students engage in effective educational practices that are empirically linked with learning, personal development, and other desired outcomes such as persistence, satisfaction, and graduation.
NSSE has been in operation since 2000 and has been used at more than 1,600 colleges and universities in the US and Canada. More than 90% of participating institutions administer the survey on a periodic basis.
Students will also see other communications thru D2L, website, flyers, instructors, and social media.
Through its student survey, The College Student Report, NSSE annually collects information at hundreds of four-year colleges and universities about first-year and senior students’ participation in programs and activities that institutions provide for their learning and personal development. The results provide an estimate of how undergraduates spend their time and what they gain from attending their college or university.
NSSE provides participating institutions a variety of reports that compare their students’ responses with those of students at self-selected groups of comparison institutions. Comparisons are available for ten Engagement Indicators, six High-Impact Practices, and all individual survey questions. Each November, NSSE also publishes its Annual Results, which reports topical research and trends in student engagement results. NSSE researchers also present and publish research findings throughout the year.
MGA participated in NSSE during the 2014, 2016, and 2017 administration cycles.
Overall the responses are used to help improve policies, curriculum, and campus activities. In other words, the more your school knows about its students and what they think of the institution, the more likely it is that faculty, academic and student life administrators and others can take appropriate action.
Survey will close May 15, 2020. Institutional Reports will be available in August. Major Field Report will be available in October. The Annual Results will be delivered in November.
