AssessingStudent Engagement
National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) Annual survey of first-year students and seniors at four-year institutions that measures students’ participation in educational experiences that prior research has connected to valued outcomes
Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE) Parallel survey designed to measure faculty expectations for student engagement in educational practices that are known to be empirically linked with high levels of learning and development
Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement (BCSSE)
Survey administered in the fall of students’ first year designed to measure students entering characteristics and the importance they place on student engagement
![Page 9: Faculty Survey of Student Engagement Using What Faculty Say about Improving Their Teaching Thomas F. Nelson Laird, IUB Jennifer Buckley, IUB Megan Palmer,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d605503460f94a41654/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why FSSE?
Institutions sought ways to include faculty in the discussion of effective educational practices
Several campuses demonstrated success with homegrown faculty surveys that paralleled NSSE
IU Center for Postsecondary Research pilot tested a faculty survey in 2003 and launched in 2004
It is important to understand faculty expectations and perceptions as institutions seek to target areas of improvement
