Defining Student Engagement

What is Student Engagement?

…the amount of time and energy students invest in meaningful educational practices

…the institutional practices and student behaviors that are highly correlated with student learning and retention

Looking at Your CCSSE Data

What sort of data are we talking about?Benchmarks – standardized scores on high level concepts to get you into the results

Means – place responses on a scale to allow comparison

Frequencies – give you details (counts and percentages) about the actual responses/behaviors

Digging In Look at your All Students Benchmarks report on the

Standard Reports page. Which benchmark score is good news?

Which benchmark score presents a challenge?

For each, which scores in the means/frequency table(s) tell you more? What is driving the benchmark score higher/lower?

CompletionGraduation rate: 24%Transfer rate: 27%

Butler’s Retention Journey

• Early Alert Referral System (EARS)• Strategic Planning• Faculty Involvement through UPM

What is early alert?Timely intervention for students experiencing academic difficulty.

Timely intervention for students experiencing academic difficulty or exhibiting behaviors counter-productive to student success.

…plus a predictive modeling system that allows preemptive intervention for likely students in need.

Birth of EARS• Outreach to students in need existed prior to 2008 but without

college-wide coordination or promotion

• Discussions started in the spring of 2008 on implementing a more coordinated approach to identifying and reaching out to students in need based on best practices

• ESSI Institute, March 2008Early Alert Program identified as way to address needs identified in SENSE data, specifically targeting students missing classes early on

• Explored Early Alert programs at other colleges

• Piloted Early Alert and Referral System (EARS) with Lead Faculty in fall 2008

Faculty UPM DiscussionJanuary 2012

• Introduced Unit Performance Management• Each unit (program) to focus on curriculum scope and

sequence• Initial planning of intended actions for improvement• Mixed results

Turned process management over to Dr. Phil Speary

Faculty CCSSE DiscussionJanuary 2013

• Faculty led• One hour & half discussions in dept. groupings• Guided discussion by CCSSE items within context of

other data (Faces of Future)• Gave responses to specific CCSSE items• Initial planning of intended actions for improvement

Targeting Areas for IMPROVEMENT

• Student Success Data Team analyzed trends from three sets of CCSSE data

• Focused on two areas needing improvement:

Student Effort & Academic Challenge• Selected specific items which faculty could address• Planned faculty presentation at in-service

HOW CAN WE AS FACULTY INFLUENCE STUDENT LEARNING BEHAVIORS?

• (15 min.) Butler student response to: About how many hours do you spend in a typical 7-day week preparing for class (studying, reading, writing, rehearsing, doing homework, or other activities related to your coursework)?

• Butler Mean = 1.84 which on the 5 pt. scale translates to approx. 9 hours a week

We should consider that:• on average our students responding to the

CCSSE survey were enrolled in 12 credit hours• according to the most recent Faces of the Future

demographic survey, 47.5% of our students are employed part-time and 23.6% are employed full-time

Putting in context…

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

• Does an average of 9 hours a week of preparation for class seem adequate for our students?

• What life factors other than hours of employment may be shaping how many hours our students spend in class preparation?

• What can we as an institution of higher learning do to address this situation?

• What can I do as a teacher to help influence this student behavior among the students I teach?

OTHER STUDENT EFFORT ITEMS

• In the current school year, about how often have you done each of the following?

• Prepared two or more drafts of a paper or assignment before turning it in. Butler Mean 2.5

• Worked on a paper or project that required integrating ideas or information from various sources. Butler Mean 2.78

• Came to class without completing readings or assignments. Butler Mean 1.91

OTHER ACADEMIC CHALLENGE ITEMS

• During the current school year, how much has your coursework at this college emphasized the following mental activities?

• Analyzing the basic elements of an idea, experience or theory (Butler Mean 2.8)

• Synthesizing and organizing ideas, information, or experiences in new ways (Butler Mean 2.69)

• Making judgments about the value or soundness of information, arguments, or methods (Butler Mean 2.54)

• Applying theories or concepts to practical problems or in new situations (Butler Mean 2.61)

• Using information you have read or heard to perform a new skill (Butler Mean 2.64)

TWO ACTION QUESTIONS

• In the coming semester what will you do to:

Encourage students to spend more time in preparing for class?

• In the coming semester what will you do to:

Encourage students to engage more often in mental activities that promote higher learning?

Faculty Analysis of Learning Outcomes

For each major learning outcome:• Level of Student Achievement/Mastery expected by end

of course• Observable evidences of that Achievement/ Mastery• Student Effort and specific behaviors necessary for that

Achievement/Mastery• Need for improvement in Current Levels of Academic

Challenge or Student Effort

Examples of ACTIONS IMPLEMENTED in SPRING 2013

• Accounting: Increase faculty emphasis on time management in supervision of students’ major project

• Marketing: Make the group marketing projects into service learning projects benefiting local organizations

• Animal Science: Implement more proactive faculty intervention with at-risk online students

• Digital Illustration: Implement more detailed formative assessment of student work during creation of projects

• Art Appreciation: Implement common essential reading assignments attached to formative assessments

• Biology: Require student to meet with instructor during office hours at least once during first six weeks of class

NEXT STEPS in Fall 2013

• Analyzing data from Spring 2013 implementations

• Continuing, modifying or expanding implementations

Promising Practices for Student Success

© 2011 Center for Community College Student Engagement

Special-focus items: In addition to the SENSE and CCSSE core survey items, the Center has designed special-focus items that examine areas of student experience and institutional performance that are of particular interest to the field. The Center selects a special-focus topic each year and develops new item sets that enable colleges to explore more deeply certain issues that are key to improved student engagement and success. Thus, the Center is able to address issues of current importance to both colleges and their students, while also keeping the core surveys consistent. Special-focus items for the 2011, 2012, and 2013 surveys address promising practices for promoting student success and completion.
