UNCP

Collegiate Learning Assessment
The CLA measures critical thinking, analytic reasoning, problem solving, and writing skills in both first-year and senior students to assess value added at UNCP.

 

College Student Expectations Questionnaire (CSXQ) and College Student Experiences Questionnaire (CSEQ)
During the 2010-2011 academic year, several new assessment instruments were used at UNCP. Two of these were the College Student Expectations Questionnaire (CSXQ) and the College Student Experiences Questionnaire (CSEQ). The CSEQ assesses the quality of effort students expend in using institutional resources and opportunities provided for their learning and development. The CSXQ is designed to evaluate new student expectations for college including their goals, motivations, and future plans. When paired with the CSEQ administered toward the end of students' first year in college, it is possible to assess the degree to which student and institutional expectations are met. Both instruments ask about: College Activities (library, information technology, expectations related to faculty, course learning, use of campus facilities, clubs, organizations, service projects, experiences with other students, scientific/quantitative experiences, conversations), Reading, Writing, Satisfaction, and the College Environment. The CSXQ was administered early in the fall semester of 2010 to 671 students in freshmen seminar courses. The CSEQ was administered late in the spring semester of 2011 to 326 students in English 1060 courses. Of these 326, 109 were first-year students and 99 were seniors. Results of the CSXQ as well as the CSEQ (for both freshmen and seniors) are presented in this report.

 

ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology
The yearly Educause Center for Applied Research surveys explore student information technology skills and how students use IT on campus.

 

Faculty Survey of Student Engagement
The FSSE is designed to measure faculty expectations for and observations of student engagement in educational practices that are known to be empirically linked with high levels of learning and development. This Excel document provides respondent characteristics and item frequencies for faculty at UNCP who took the survey in 2008 as well as comparisons between faculty and student respondents on like items.

 

National Survey of Student Engagement
The NSSE is a way for students to provide information about their undergraduate experiences, including views about the quality of their education and how they spend their time.

 

Seniors’ Future Plans
Purpose: To determine post-graduation plans for Spring seniors.

 

The ModernThink Higher Education Insight Survey

ModernThink (a research and consulting firm) partnered again with The Chronicle of Higher Education in 2009 to explore workplace quality at institutions of higher education.  The ModernThink Higher Education Insight Survey statements measure critical organizational dynamics and managerial competencies.  The survey instrument also was designed to provide insight into the quality and health of various relationships that ultimately have direct impact on an institution’s culture and the daily experiences of employees. Sample survey items are available here.

In the spring of 2009, surveys were sent to over 96,000 faculty and staff (administration and professional support staff) nationwide.  Of those, nearly 41,000 responded (a 43% average response rate).  At UNCP, surveys were sent to 400 randomly selected individuals and 132 responded (yielding a survey response rate of 33%).  The survey consisted of 60 statements which, for reporting and analysis purposes, were clustered into 15 dimensions or themes.  These themes are listed and defined in the Overview report linked below.  Also included in the overview are explanations for understanding the survey results reports for UNCP.

 

The University of North Carolina at Pembroke Student Success Study
Between the months of April and August, 2010, the Office of Institutional Effectiveness (IE) conducted a study of students at UNCP to determine factors influencing student success. Almost 900 students responded to an online survey (155 graduate and 736 undergraduate) and almost 60 students participated in focus groups (17 graduate and 39 undergraduate). The primary results are presented in this report separated by level as well as by methodology.
