The Effect of Nonresponse Bias in Undergraduate Student Surveys
(Association for Institutional Research, 2019-05) Gonyea, Robert M.; Cole, James; Fosnacht, Kevin
This study examines the relationship between entering students’ pre-college engagement and attitudes about college, and their decision to respond to NSSE during the spring semester of the first college year. We then estimate the magnitude of the effect of nonresponse on institutional estimates of engagement results.
Housing, student engagement, and persistence: A first look
(ACUHO-I Annual Conference and Expo, 2018-07-09) Gonyea, Robert M.; Graham, Polly; Hurtado, Sarah; Fosnacht, Kevin
Through an ACUHO-I Foundation grant, National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) researchers are examining the relationship between students' living environments, engagement, and persistence. In Spring 2018, NSSE collected survey data about on- and off-campus living situations and perceptions from first-year, sophomore, and senior students at 75 bachelor's degree-granting institutions. This session provides a first look at results, including relationships between housing options and students' perceptions of safety and support, financial stress, and programming.
Living-Learning, Engaging, Persisting
(Association of College and University Housing Officers - International, 2019-11) Fassett, Kyle; Gonyea, Robert M.; Fosnacht, Kevin; Graham, Polly
Living-learning communities (LLCs) are designed to maximize academic and social benefits through meaningful interactions with faculty, coordinated learning activities, and support for success. A team of researchers at the National Survey of Student Engagement* recently confirmed that LLCs are associated with effective learning and persistence in college.
Moving Beyond Statistical Significance: Using Effect Sizes in NSSE
(2015-06-23) Rocconi, Louis; Gonyea, Robert M.
What constitutes a meaningful difference in your NSSE results? With large samples it is common for very small differences to be statistically significant. That's why effect sizes, which provide a measure of "practical" significance, are so important. Based on a recent analysis of statistical comparisons of Engagement Indicators and High-Impact Practices, we have derived new recommendations for interpreting small, medium, and large effect sizes. In this webinar, we will explain our recommendations and invite participants to consider their use with their NSSE results.
Multi-year analysis of NSSE data
(2008-10-21) Gonyea, Robert M.; BrckaLorenz, Allison
This webinar discusses how to use NSSE data longitudinally.
The NSSE update: Analysis and design of ten new Engagement Indicators
(2014-04-29) Gonyea, Robert M.; BrckaLorenz, Allison
With the update to the NSSE instrument, ten new Engagement Indicators were rigorously tested to replace the original Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice. NSSE research analysts have conducted several tests to evaluate the quality of the indicators, including descriptive analysis and studies of validity, reliability, and survey construction. This session will provide useful information for both NSSE 2013 and 2014 participants regarding the development of the indicators, and insights from the analyses. In this live, interactive webinar, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with other viewers, and the presenters.
NSSE's Psychometric Portfolio: Evidence for reliability, validity, and other quality indicators
(2010-08-31) Gonyea, Robert M.; Miller, Angie
Educational and institutional research that relies on survey methodology is often criticized for a lack of psychometric evidence to support use of the instrument. NSSE research analysts have developed a new framework for collecting and presenting evidence for reliability, validity, and reduction of bias. Various methods and results that demonstrate psychometric strengths and identify areas of improvement for NSSE will be presented.
Recommendations for Using Multiple Years of NSSE Data
(2018-03-27) Gonyea, Robert M.; Shoup, Rick
Nine out of ten institutions administer NSSE on a regular cycle such as every one, two, or three years. The 2018 administration marks the sixth year of the updated version of NSSE, which means that almost all institutions have multiple years of results from the updated NSSE. Of course, institutions eagerly use their multi-year data to enrich analyses and to answer additional questions about the quality of their student learning experiences. The purpose of this webinar is to discuss some of the best approaches to examining changes and trends in engagement patterns, and evaluating specific campus initiatives.
Report Builder Webinar
(2019-02-07) Gonyea, Robert M.; Fosnacht, Kevin
A guide for institutions to navigate and create reports using the NSSE Report Builder. Follow along as NSSE analyst show you how to create reports with a few different examples. You will learn how to create reports within-institution and between-institutions. This will serve as a helpful resource to help you create relevant reports for your institution and spread the data from your NSSE data.
Revisiting the Impact of LLCs on Student Engagement and Success
(ACUHO-I Academic Initiatives Conference, 2019-10) Fosnacht, Kevin; Graham, Polly; Gonyea, Robert M.; Hurtado, Sarah; Fassett, Kyle
Campus housing has changed markedly in recent years, prompting questions about its impact and the benefits of living-learning communities (LLCs) in particular. Sponsored by an ACUHO-I research grant, we surveyed a diverse, multi-campus sample of residents to study the relationships between LLC participation, engagement, perceived gains, and persistence. Results affirm LLCs promote engagement in expected ways, but also point to areas for improvement. Implications for practice will be discussed.
Revisiting the Impact of LLCs on Student Engagement and Success - Academic Initiatives 2020
(ACUHO-I Academic Initiatives Conference 2020, 2020-10-14) Fosnacht, Kevin; Gonyea, Robert M.; Fassett, Kyle T.; Graham, Polly
Campus housing has changed markedly in recent years, prompting questions about its impact and the benefits of living-learning communities (LLCs) in particular. Sponsored by an ACUHO-I research grant, we surveyed a diverse, multi-campus sample of residents to study the relationships between LLC participation, engagement, perceived gains in learning and development, and persistence. Results affirm LLCs promote engagement in expected ways, but also point to areas for improvement. Implications for practice will be discussed.
Roommate Assignments: Managing The Process and Supporting Students of Color
(ACUHO-I VIRTUAL Business Operations Conference, 2020-10-27) Gonyea, Robert M.; Graham, Polly; Fosnacht, Kevin; Fassett, Kyle T.
Getting a roommate is one of the first milestones of a student’s campus experience. In the past decade, the rise of social media and online roommate-matching sites has changed how students find roommates, and the proportion of incoming students choosing their preferred roommate has increased. Lately, however, multiple institutions moved to requiring incoming students to have institutionally-assigned roommates in the hope of increasing cross-cultural interactions. We investigated this assertion using data from 76 schools participating in an ACUHO-I sponsored study. Results show that preventing students from choosing their own roommates is not an effective method of increasing interactional diversity. We also discovered that the policies can have negative consequences for students of color. Considering these findings, the NSSE research team makes recommendations for institutions.

Student Living Arrangements: An Exploration of Marginalized Identities
(2020-03) Fassett, Kyle T.; Gonyea, Robert M.; Graham, Polly A.; Fosnacht, Kevin J.
While past research found on-campus living to benefit student success, recent studies find mixed support, particularly for marginalized groups. This study focuses on first-year and sophomore students of color, LGBQ+ students, gender non-binary students, and students with disabilities, analyzing where they live as related to a variety of outcomes. Data come from 76 residential colleges and universities that participated in NSSE during 2018. Results show differences in where students report living and students’ engagement and perceptions of belongingness and safety in their living communities.
The ACUHO-I/NSSE Student Housing Study: What have we learned so far?
(ACUHO-I Annual Convention and Expo, 2019-06-24) Graham, Polly A.; Fosnacht, Kevin; Fassett, Kyle; Gonyea, Robert M.; Hurtado, Sarah
Backed by an ACUHO-I Sponsored Research Grant, researchers from the National Survey of Student Engagement surveyed over 55,000 first-year, sophomore, and senior students about their housing, roommates, safety, finances, and well-being. Combining these responses with data on engagement; information about campus facilities, policy, and programming from the ACUHO-I Campus Housing Index; and enrollment records from the National Student Clearinghouse, we are gaining a better understanding of the relationship of housing conditions, student learning, and outcomes. Come listen and ask questions as we share what we have learned about topics like roommate policies, living-learning communities, and more.
