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

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
