Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE) 2005
To date more than 54,000 faculty members at 314 four-year institutions
The FSSE parallels NSSE's survey of undergraduate
students focusing on: Faculty perceptions of how often their
students engage in different activities The importance faculty place on various
areas of learning and development The nature and frequency of interactions
faculty have with students How faculty members organize class time. Results intended as catalyst for
discussions about quality of students' educational experience
24
How Does FSSE Inform What We Know about Student
Engagement? Nearly three-quarters (72%)
of faculty think that FGCU emphasizes ‘using computers
in academic work’ very much… while
Less than one-half (47%) of first-year students and…
Slightly over two-thirds (68%) of seniors actually feel that way
25
Using NSSE at FGCU
Adjusting course curricula and faculty teaching practices
Retention planning and student satisfaction
Identification, development and, marketing of distinctive competencies
More extensive peer analysis
Strategy – Connect to strategic objectives, promote strengths, target areas for improvement
