Assessing for diversity: Evidence from NSSE's Inclusiveness and Engagement with Cultural Diversity and Global Learning modules

Abstract

The assessment of inclusivity and cultural responsiveness and of global learning are current imperatives for higher education. The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) recently added two new Topical Modules asking students more about inclusive educational practices and perceptions of their global learning experiences. This session highlights findings from these question sets, examines common items for course-based learning and how results vary by institution and student characteristics, what results suggest about global learning practice and inclusivity, and includes a discussion about campuses' use of these findings to create environments that support all students and leverage the educational benefits of diversity and internationalization.
