Validating NSSE Against Student Outcomes: Are They Related?

Abstract: School While there exist many examples of institutional use of the results of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), there is a relative paucity of research explicitly linking student outcomes to responses on the survey. A major Doctoral-Extensive institution in the Southeast recently conducted a large-scale implementation of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). We have linked multiple years of NSSE responses to several student outcomes: freshman retention, GPA, pursuit of graduate education, and employment outcome upon commencement/degree conferral. Our research finds minimal explanatory power in the NSSE benchmarks for these outcomes. A statistically derived model from the individual NSSE items shows greater promise, although there are difficulties in replicating the model for previous student cohorts.

总 结:
1、学校虽然存在很多机构使用学生参与的全国性调查的结果(NSSE)的例子,但有相对缺乏链接学生反应调查结果的研究显式。
2、东南部主要由广泛应用于博士论文的机构最近进行了一次大规模的实现学生参与的全国性调查(NSSE)。作者已经联系多个NSSE响应几个学生数据结果:新生保有率、GPA、追求研究生教育和就业结果、毕业/学位授予。研究发现,NSSE基准为这些结果提供了最小的解释力。
3、统计模型来自显示更大个人承诺的NSSE项目,虽然在以前的学生群体中复制模型有困难。
