Civic Engagement

Abstract

This Topical Module asks faculty to assess institutional emphasis on conflict resolution skills and examines how often students are encouraged to engage with local or campus and state/national/global issues, adapted from a project of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. The Topical Module complements questions on the core FSSE survey about the importance of service-learning, perceptions of student participation in community service or volunteer work, and course emphasis on becoming an informed and active citizen. This document provides basic findings for the Civic Engagement (CE) Topical Module scales and its individual component items.
