Mean

ClassResults are reported separately for first-year students (FY) and seniors (SR). Institution-reported class ranks are used.

institutional practice represented by the item may warrant attention. An exception to this interpretation is the “coming to class unprepared” item (item 1f.) where a negative sign is preferred (i.e., meaning fewer students reporting coming to class unprepared).

The mean is the weighted arithmetic average of student responses on a particular item. Means are provided for your institution and all comparison groups. Additional details

Interpreting the Mean Comparisons Report

The Mean Comparisons report is based on information from all randomly selected students for both your institution and your comparison institutions. Targeted and locally administered oversamples and other non-randomly selected students are not included in this report.

The items from the NSSE survey appear in the left column in the same order and wording as they appear on the instrument. The name of each variable appears in the second column for easy reference to your data file and the summary statistics at the end of this section. Response options are also provided to help you interpret the statistics.

Items that make up the five “Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice” are indicated by the following:

Items with mean differences that are larger than would be expected by chance alone are noted with one, two, or three asterisks, referring to three significance levels (p<.05, p< .01, and p<.001). The smaller the significance level, the smaller the likelihood that the difference is due to chance. Statistical significance does not guarantee the result is substantive or important. Large sample sizes (like those produced by NSSE) tend to generate more statistically significant results even though the magnitude of mean differences may be inconsequential. Consult effect sizes (see below) to judge the practical meaning of the results.

Effect size indicates the “practical significance” of the mean difference. It is calculated by dividing the mean difference by the pooled standard deviation. In practice, an effect size of .2 is often considered small, .5 moderate, and .8 large. A positive sign indicates that your institution's mean was greater, thus showing an affirmative result for your institution. A negative sign indicates the institution lags behind the comparison group, suggesting that the student behavior or

a All statistics are weighted by gender and enrollment status. Comparison group statistics are also weighted by institutional size.b The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is equal to the sample mean plus/minus 1.96 times the standard error of the mean.c A measure of the amount individual scores deviate from the mean of all the scores in the distribution.d Degrees of freedom used to compute the t-tests. Values differ from the total Ns due to weighting and the equal variances assumption.e Statistical significance represents the probability that the difference between the mean of your institution and that of the comparison group occurred by chance. f Effect size is calculated by subtracting the comparison group mean from the school mean, then dividing the result by the pooled standard deviation.

a All statistics are weighted by gender and enrollment status. Comparison group statistics are also weighted by institutional size.b The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is equal to the sample mean plus/minus 1.96 times the standard error of the mean.c A measure of the amount individual scores deviate from the mean of all the scores in the distribution. IPEDS: 243780d Degrees of freedom used to compute the t-tests. Values differ from the total Ns due to weighting and the equal variances assumption.e Statistical significance represents the probability that the difference between the mean of your institution and that of the comparison group occurred by chance. f Effect size is calculated by subtracting the comparison group mean from the school mean, then dividing the result by the pooled standard deviation.

a All statistics are weighted by gender and enrollment status. Comparison group statistics are also weighted by institutional size.b The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is equal to the sample mean plus/minus 1.96 times the standard error of the mean.c A measure of the amount individual scores deviate from the mean of all the scores in the distribution. IPEDS: 243780d Degrees of freedom used to compute the t-tests. Values differ from the total Ns due to weighting and the equal variances assumption.e Statistical significance represents the probability that the difference between the mean of your institution and that of the comparison group occurred by chance. f Effect size is calculated by subtracting the comparison group mean from the school mean, then dividing the result by the pooled standard deviation.

CountThe Count column represents the actual number of students who responded to the particular option in each question. Counts are unweighted.

WeightingWeights adjusting for gender and enrollment status (and by institutional size for comparison groups) are applied to the percentage column (%) of this report. Weights are computed separately for first-year students and seniors. Weighted results present a more accurate representation of your institution and comparison group students. Only the column percents are weighted. The counts are the actual number of respondents. Because the counts are unweighted and the column percentages are weighted, you will not be able to calculate the column percent directly from the count numbers. Additional details about weighting can be found on the NSSE Web site. nsse.iub.edu/links/institutional_reporting

VariablesThe items from the NSSE survey appear in the left column in the same order and wording as they appear on the instrument.

Response OptionsResponse options are listed as they appear on the instrument.

ClassFrequency distributions are reported separately for first-year students and seniors. Institution-reported class ranks are used.

Interpreting the Frequency Distributions Report

Variable NamesThe name of each variable appears in the first column for easy reference to your raw data file and the Mean Comparisons report.

BenchmarkItems that comprise the five “Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice” are indicated by the following:LAC=Level of Academic ChallengeACL=Active and Collaborative LearningSFI=Student-Faculty InteractionEEE=Enriching Educational ExperiencesSCE=Supportive Campus Environment

Column Percentage (%)This column presents the weighted percentage of students responding to the particular option in each question.

SampleThe Frequency Distributions report is based on information from all randomly selected students (including those from census administrations) for both your institution and your comparison institutions. Targeted and locally administered oversamples and other non-randomly selected students are not included in this report.
