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
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
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
