Using FSSE to Add Context to NSSE

Abstract

This session offers an overview of how faculty data can be used to give context to NSSE results, particularly within academic departments or majors. Session participants will learn how FSSE results can be used on their own as well as combined with NSSE findings to highlight, for example, how faculty values relate to student participation in high-impact practices, how the structure of coursework and course time affect student involvement, or how faculty expectations align with student experiences. This session will also explore how the NSSE Major Field Report and FSSE Disciplinary Area Report can be used by departments to illuminate faculty involvement in student engagement.
