First … What is CCSSE?Pronounced “Cessie”, the Community College Survey of Student Engagement is a national survey used as a research tool to assess the quality of education and to examine the results against national benchmarks.
The CCSSE survey is administered during the spring semesters of 2008, 2009, and 2010 in 47 states and in Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Bermuda, Northern Marianas, and the Marshall Islands. Responding to the survey were approximately 403,428 students in 658 colleges participating colleges.

What does CCSSE Measure?
Data from CCSSE measures student engagement in five categories.
1. Academic Challenge2. Active & Collaborative Learning3. Student-Faculty Interaction4. Student Effort5. Support for Learners

Active & Collaborative
Learning (ACTCOL)
What is Active and Collaborative Learning (ACTCOL)?
Students learn more when they are actively involved in their education and have opportunities to think about and to apply what they are learning in different settings.
Through collaborating with others to solve problems or to master challenging content, students develop valuable skills that prepare them to deal with the kinds of situations and problems they will encounter in the workplace, the community, and their personal lives.

Comparison of Delgado over the Years
Delgado 2003 Delgado 2005 Delgado 2007 Delgado 2010
Over the last 7 years, Active & Collaborative Learning has consistently decreased, while the other benchmarks have
increased at Delgado.
ACTCOL …
The CCSSE survey includes seven specific questions that provide Delgado with a benchmark against which to measure the College’s progress in supporting active and collaborative learning.

Based on documented research, each of the seven questions was developed and designed to provide data that reveals whether active, collaborative learning is actually occurring.

ACTCOL …At DCC the survey revealed the following data:
(67.9%) of students often or very often ask questions or contribute to class discussions.
More than half (58.3%) have made a class presentation. Most have worked with other students on projects during class with
43.4% reporting they have done so very often or often and 37.4% reporting they have done so at least sometimes.
Only (20.8%) of respondents have very often or often worked with classmates outside of class to prepare class assignments.
ACTCOL …At DCC the survey revealed the following data:
Over two-thirds (70.5%) have never tutored or taught other students.
Over three-quarters (78.1%) have never participated in a community-based project as part of a regular course.
Less than half (42.4%) have discussed ideas from their readings or classes with others outside of class often or very often and (38.0%) have done so at least sometimes.

According to CCSSE, National Benchmarks were designed to assist community colleges in reaching for excellence.
Based on effective educational practices, the focal point of the CCSSE benchmarks are on institutional practices and student behaviors that ultimately promote student engagement and are positively related to student learning and persistence.
ACTCOL …What are CCSSE Benchmarks?
ACTCOL …How are CCSSE Benchmarks calculated?Every college has a score for each benchmark, computed by averaging the scores on survey items that comprise that benchmark. Benchmark scores are standardized so that the mean — the average of all participating students — always is 50 and the standard deviation is 25.
The most valuable use of benchmarks is to see an individual college’s deviation from the mean, and the standardized score provides an easy way to assess whether an individual college is performing above or below the mean (50) on each benchmark.
