Nuggets from NSSE & FSSE on Student Learning Outcomes for Accreditation Ed Rugg PhD, Director of Institutional Effectiveness & SACS Liaison Ed Rugg PhD, Director of Institutional Effectiveness & SACS Liaison Kennesaw State University PacPAIR 2005 Conference Presentation

Evidence of Student Learning: The Gold Standard for Accreditation Institutional and program accreditors have stepped up demands for evidence that student learning outcomes are being achieved and improved. Finding such evidence is often like panning for gold.

NSSE & FSSE Produce Mountains of Summary Data and Analyses Lengthy survey instruments and many potential comparators and comparisons The Institutional Report’s three-inch binder An overwhelming array of data and comparative summaries

Panning for Nuggets from NSSE & FSSE If evidence of student learning is what you’re looking for, most of the mountain is not gold, but there is gold in “them thar hills” !

No Maps or Directions for Gold Mining and Prospecting No Maps or Directions for Gold Mining and Prospecting   You’re on your own in the search for gold   You’re welcome to work our claim— there’s bound to be more gold where ours came from!

Key SACS/COC Comprehensive Standards for Accreditation The institution identifies college- level competencies within the general education core and provides evidence that graduates have attained those competencies The institution’s use of technology enhances student learning….

A Key SACS/COC Standard Not Addressed in NSSE’s Toolkit The institution demonstrates that each educational program for which academic credit is awarded…establishes and evaluates program and learning outcomes.

How Do We Know It’s Gold? It’s Gold--a Student Learning Outcome--if it is: 1) What Students Know (Knowledge) or 2) What Students Can Do (Skills) or 3) What Students Are Like (Dispositions)

Golden Items in NSSE NSSE #11(a-p) Educational & Personal Growth “To what extent has your experience at this institution contributed to your knowledge, skills, and personal development in the following areas?....”

FSSE Strikes Gold Too NSSE used a pan (Reports Learning Impact) FSSE used a pick (Reports Course Emphasis) Both struck gold at neighboring claims (Convergent Results)

Large Nuggets of Gold NSSE Handout # 1 Nine fundamental learning outcomes for which three-fourths or more of the seniors said that the KSU experience had a great impact on their growth. FSSE Handout # 2 Notable convergence here with where instuctors reported putting great emphasis

Large Nuggets: Nine Fundamentals at KSU 11 a Broad General Education 11 e Thinking Critically & Analytically 11 g Using Information Technology 11 c Writing Clearly & Effectively 11 h Working Effectively with Others 11 j Learning Effectively on Your Own 11 f Analyzing Quantitative Problems 11 d Speaking Effectively & Clearly 11 b Acquiring Work-Related Knowledge/Skills

Does More Time in the Mine Yield More Gold? EUREKA ! Improvements in Learning First Year to the Fourth Year

Small Nuggets of Gold NSSE Handout # 1 Four learning outcomes for which about half of the seniors said that the KSU experience had a great impact on their growth. FSSE Handout # 2 Again, notable convergence with the faculty’s emphasis

Small Nuggets at KSU 11 k Understanding yourself 11 m Solving complex real-world problems 11 l Understanding people of other racial and ethnic backgrounds 11 n Developing a personal code of values and ethics

Gold Dust Defined NSSE Handout # 1 A few learning outcomes for which a minority of seniors reported having been greatly impacted by the KSU experience, with some convergence of results from FSSE

Gold Dust at KSU 11 o Contributing to your community 11 i Voting in local, state, or national elections 11 p Developing a deepened sense of spiritually

More Golden Items NSSE # 2 (a-e) & FSSE # 20 (a-e) “Mental Activities” a.k.a. Levels of Critical Thinking or Bloom’s Taxonomy of Lower-Order/Higher-Order Learning

Analyzing Over Memorizing NSSE & FSSE Handouts # 3 & # 4 High percentages of students and faculty reported great emphasis on analyzing over memorizing, especially among seniors and upper division instuctors

Some Mines Produce More Gold   Significantly more KSU students cited a great impact in growth of computer and information technology Handout # 5

NUGGETS FROM NSSE WITH CONFIRMATION FROM FSSE Not Fools Gold The Real Thing
