Community College Survey of Student Engagement 2008 Findings

LaSylvia Pugh – February 16, 2009

CCSSE & CCFSSE Overview

Community College Survey of Student Engagement

Community College Survey of Student Engagement: A Tool for Community Colleges

CCSSE helps us:

Assess quality in community college education

Identify and learn from good educational practice

Identify areas in which we can improve programs and services for students


CCSSE Data Collection ProcessA total of 669 (1% fewer than in 2005) credit students in 67 curriculum courses at the Main campus and the Northern Durham Center (NDC) were surveyed in the spring of 2008.

• A random sample of 67 courses was selected based on class start time

• Excluded Courses:

Noncredit coursesDistance learning coursesLower-level Developmental coursesIndependent study coursesDual-enrollment courses taught at the high schools


What is CCFSSE?

The Community College Faculty Survey of Student Engagement:

• Web-based

• Designed to mirror CCSSE to facilitate comparisons between student and faculty responses


CCFSSE Data Collection Process

A total of 151 (12% fewer than in 2005) full-time and part-time faculty members completed the CCFSSE in the spring of 2008

• Only faculty members teaching an “included” course in the spring of 2008 were invited to participate

• Faculty members received an e-mail invitation directly from CCSSE facilitators in March 2008


Comparison of CCFSSE & CCSSE

• CCFSSE asks faculty members to respond based on a SPECIFIC COURSE they were teaching in the spring of 2008

CCSSE asks students to respond based on experiences at THIS college during THIS (2007-2008) academic year
