ACPA COMMISSION X EVALUATION

During the past year Commission X has carried out its internalevaluation. The evaluation instrument was developed by Emil Spees,Diane Cooper and Catherine Dugan, members of the commission directorate.The report of this evaluation committee was prepared by Ms. Dugan andtwo colleagues at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Barbara Welshoferand Ben Wreh

Three hundred questionnaires were sent to the membership of thecommission, the Executive Council of ACPA and the chairs of the othercommissions. Ninety-four completed questionnaires were recei-ved, foxa 318 rate of response. Responses were analyzed in two categori-es:39 respondents were summarized as "executive members" (E's) and includedmembers of ACPA executive council, chairs of commissions and thedirectorate members of Commission X; the other 55 responses were fromthe remaining 299 members of the commission and vrere summarized as"non-executive members" (non E' s) .

Results of'the Survey:

Meeting the Goals of the Commission -

Of the 39 Ers who responded to the survey, 38t felt that thecommission was meeting its goals; 50t of the responses rated the com-mission 4 or 5 on a 5-point Likert scale in developing "greater inter-national consciousness among members of the student development pro-fession. " Fift,y-five members of the commission (non-E's) responded tothe survey. Of these responses, 40t thought that the commission wasmeeting its goals which were of importance to them. Combining the totalresponses, 34t indicated that the commission was performing at an above-average level in "stimulating and developing relationships among membersof the student development profession". Conversely, 38t rated thecommission belo$r average in "developing greater international conscious-ness among student development professionals". A majority did not knowif (49t) or did not believe that (29t) the commission is providingIeadership in applying student development theory to internationalstudents.

The survey examined the importance of stated goals to respondents.E's felt less strongly the non-Ers (27t vs. 44t) that the commissionshould provide leadership in applying development theory to internationalstudents. They were also less concerned than members that the commissionassist college campuses in developing an international awareness(242 vs. 43t) or that the commission act as a clearing house and stimulusfor international research (at vs. 42*1.

Commission Newsletter

A major vehicle for communication of information and commissionactivities is the newsletter. Various topics of a professional anddevelopmental nature are covered in each issue. Of the respondents,two-thirds read most or all of the articles in each issue. Forty-threepercent of this number found the topics interesting to them.

General Comments

Regarding "providing a professional network at annual conferences",51? of the Ers who responded felt that the commission is above average,while 69? of the other respondents shared this opinion. Only 26* of Ersbelieved that the commission's performance in "professional mentoring"is above average, while 458 of non-Ers felt the same. Likewise, 63t ofnon-Ers rated the commission above average in "encouraging ACPA conven-tion attendanc€", while 50t of the Ers feel the commissionrs performancein this area is above average. None of the participants in the surveyfelt that Commission x should cease any of the activities in which it iscurrently

.

involved.

An important open-ended response vtas "other actj,vities in which youbelieve Commission X should be involved". Ers suggested the following:sponsoring research, reviewing publications, identifying and publicizingregional/state activj-ties, more interaction with other commissions,involvement with AAHE, liaison with professional associations in othercountries, exchange programs (i.e. student and professional travel abroadpackages), and increased involvement with community/junior colleges.Other respondents suggested activiti-es such as: networking with like-minded groups, task forces, etc. in AACD, organizational reviews andevaluations of US international student offices, planning and conductinginternational seminars overseas, and increased publicity.

Conclusions

Overall, both Ers and non-E's evaluated Commission X positively.White both groups reveal a lack of clarity as to whether the commissionis meeting its goals, among those who were aware of progress towardmeeting goals, the majority felt that these were being met. Commissionmembers felt more strongly than E respondents that the commission would beworking towards developing a greater consciousness about internationalstudent development both withj-n the US and the international studentservices field. Members, too, felt that the commission should develop itsresearch clearinghouse capabilities.

Both groups agreed that the commission provided professional develop-ment opportunilies. Each also felt that Commission X is an integral partof ACpA and AACD. There was less overall agreemen! that the corunissionprovided professional relationships with other organizations concernedwith international students and student affairs.

Implications

The Commission may want to examine publicity.about its goals andprogress toward achieving these in light of the relatively high percentof respondents who did not know these goals. The commission also shouldbetter-publicize its achievements and assistance to other organizationsas there was an expressed unawareness of such activities. fncreasedIinkages to other organizations with international concerns should beestablished. Additional research should be sponsored and completedconcerning the applications for and implications of student developmenttheory for international students and student services.
