2 NSSE 2011 Major Field Report Part II. Comparisons to Other Institutions Arts and Humanities Frequency Distributions

3 Interpreting the Frequency Distributions Sample This report is based on information from all randomly selected or census-administered Arts and Humanities students for both your institution and your comparison institutions. Targeted and locally administered oversamples and other non-randomly selected students are not included. Variable Names Class Major Categories The name of each variable appears in the first column for easy reference to your raw data file. Variables The items from the NSSE survey appear in the left column in the same order and wording as they appear on the instrument. Benchmark Items that make up the five "Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice" are indicated by the following: LAC: Level of Academic Challenge ACL: Active and Collaborative Learning SFI: Student-Faculty Interaction EEE: Enriching Educational Experiences SCE: Supportive Campus Environment Response Options Response options listed just as they appear on the instrument. Frequency distributions are reported separately for first-year students and seniors. Institution-reported class levels are used. Of course, first-year student reports of major are likely to be unstable, and interpretations of first-year results should be made with caution. BETWEEN Institution Comparisons on Major Categories NSSE data serve to identify institutional strengths and weaknesses in reference to selected comparison institutions, yet institution-level comparisons may not capture important variation in student engagement that can be found within key sub-populations such as major. This report displays the frequency distributions for the Arts and Humanities major category at your institution and at your selected comparison institutions. Students self-reported majors (primary major if two were reported) were assigned to one of 85 majors. Institutions had the option to customize how these were grouped into as many as eight major field categories. Institutions choosing not to customize receive NSSE s standard 8-category grouping. Major categories with fewer than five respondents in a given class are not reported. Comparison groups must contain at least three institutions with five or more respondents in the major category, or they are left blank.

23 NSSE 2011 Major Field Report Part II. Comparisons to Other Institutions Arts and Humanities Benchmark Statistics

24 Interpreting the Benchmark Statistics Benchmarks To focus discussions about the importance of student engagement and to guide institutional improvement efforts, NSSE created five Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice: Level of Academic Challenge, Active and Collaborative Learning, Student-Faculty Interaction, Enriching Educational Experiences, and Supportive Campus Environment. BETWEEN Institution Comparisons on Major Categories NSSE data serve to identify institutional strengths and weaknesses in reference to selected comparison institutions, yet institution-level comparisons may not capture important variation in student engagement that can be found within key sub-populations such as major. This report displays the benchmark comparisons for the Arts and Humanities major category at your institution and at your selected comparison institutions. Class Mean Weighting Distribution Statistics Benchmark comparisons are reported separately for firstyear The mean is the All results displayed in this students and seniors. Institution-reported class levels arithmetic average report are unweighted. are used. Of course, first-year student reports of major are of the students' likely to be unstable, and interpretations of first-year results benchmark scores where should be made with caution. students answered at least 3/5ths Major Categories of the benchmark items. Students self-reported majors (primary major if two were reported) were assigned to one of 85 majors. Institutions had the option to customize how these were grouped into as many as eight major field categories. Institutions choosing not to customize receive NSSE s standard 8-category grouping. Major categories with fewer than twenty respondents in a given class are not reported. Comparison groups must contain at least three institutions with five or more respondents in the major category, or they are left blank.

It is calculated by dividing the mean difference by Arts and Humanities (p<.05, p<.01, and p<.001). The smaller the significance level, the the pooled standard deviation. In practice, an effect size of.2 is students for both your institution and smaller the likelihood that the difference is due to chance. Please note often considered small,.5 moderate, and.8 large.
