The UniLOA serves both diagnostic and prescriptive functions, allowing institutions to not only measure student behaviors but to guide in the planning, development, and introduction of programming designed to increase behaviors that complement students’ overall growth, learning, and development along the UniLOA’s seven broad domains. This report of national norms is based on pilot data collected from 3024 students at multiple campuses over a 24-month period and offers insight to general learning outcomes of college students nationwide. Caution must be exercised in interpreting the results presented in this report. The data do not account for the abilities and experiences that students bring to their college education. Further differences found in ethnicity, gender, and college major may well reflect multiple factors that affect college students, from culture to the nature of the questions asked in the UniLOA. Further study is being conducted to determine underlying factors that impact students’ behaviors and scores. Overall observations of results provide information from which broad assumptions regarding the higher education experience of students can be made. Some of the more telling findings include: 2| The lowest scoring items in these studies suggests that students “don’t list personal goals for a class or activity”, that they cannot “tell anyone what diversity is”, don’t “engage in the political process through voicing viewpoints” and don’t “use effective networking skills”. Students report that they can describe the skills they have learned in their education, that they are self monitoring in their life accomplishments, that they have good communication and language skills, that they value diversity even though they cannot easily tell anyone what diversity is, that they see themselves as role models for others, and they achieve a balance between personal, social, and professional relationships. There are substantial differences between academic majors in Critical Thinking, Communication, and Citizenship with students in humanities, pre-medicine/dentistry, and social sciences scoring higher than students studying in general studies, pre-law, and recreation/sports/leisure. Undeclared majors score the lowest. Students belonging to 2-3 formally organized organizations or activities score higher on Citizenship, Membership and Leadership, and Relationships than those belonging to more or less http://www.uniloa.org than that number. Further, students holding 2 leadership position score higher on Citizenship and Membership and Leadership than those holding fewer or more. 3| Females engage in meaningful behaviors consistent with self-awareness and communication at a greater rate than males, while males engage in behaviors consistent with citizenship and membership/leadership at a rate greater than females. Student ethnicity produces different score profiles for Critical Thinking, Self Awareness, Communication, and Membership and Leadership. This result could reflect subtle cultural differences in the constructs underlying those domains or the degree to which learning experiences are available and accessible to different ethnic groups. Students serving in some amount of volunteer work score higher than those not engaging in volunteer work score somewhat higher along most UniLOA domains, but those engaging in nine or more hours per week score considerably higher. Students with higher grade point averages, as well as older students, engage in behaviors consistent with all UniLOA domains at a rate greater than those with lower academic performance do. Scores on all UniLOA domains are more positively correlated with the educational level of the mother than the father. However, socioeconomic status, as measured by having a Pell Grant, does not appear to be a factor impacting scores on any of the UniLOA’s domains. Students with prior enlisted-level military service report engaging in behaviors consistent with the UniLOA domains less frequently than those serving in the military reserves, and far less than those reporting having no military experience at all. Student with athletic scholarships report no appreciable difference in UniLOA domain scores than non student-athletes. Students working for pay show little difference in their UniLOA scores, no matter how many hours per week worked on average, but students that do not work score somewhat higher on all domains. Students reporting membership in a fraternity or sorority score higher on critical thinking, diversity, citizenship, membership and leadership, and relationships than students not affiliated. Diversity is most strongly correlated with student GPA, number of credit hours, and hours per week spent studying. Citizenship is most strongly correlated by number of credit hours, major, number of organizational memberships and leadership positions, and hours per week spent in volunteer work and generates the lowest item scores of all 7 UniLOA domains. The Relationships domain is most strongly related to GPA, credit hours earned, number or organizational memberships and hours per week of studying. Difference in scores on all UniLOA domains between individual campuses and within campuses themselves can be as much as one standard deviation. Growth, learning, and development (GLD) follows a stable and consistent course of growth among all UniLOA domains throughout the academic lifespan of students, which may suggest http://www.uniloa.org normal maturation processes are primarily responsible for GLD as opposed to the impact of the collegiate experience itself. ** ** ** ** ** * ** ** ** ** ** Relationships ** ** ** Membership and Leadership Communication ** ** * * Citizenship Self Awareness ** ** ** * Diversity Critical Thinking The Center for Learning Outcomes Assessment, Inc. is an enterprise headed by Will Barratt, Ph.D. and Mark Frederick, Ph.D. Dr. Barratt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Leadership, Administration and Foundations at Indiana State University.

While the UniLOA’s authors suggest that results presented in this report have a high degree of generalizability to the broad collegiate population because of the large sample, differences can be expected to exist within individual institutions that may not be consistent with national means. 4| http://www.uniloa.org DOM A IN AN D CO MP OSI T E M E AN S OF T H E U NI LOA NA TIO NA L DATA BA S E National Sample (n=3,043) National Norm Index Composite Score ………………….………69.85 National Database Norm Critical Thinking SelfAwareness Communication Diversity Citizenship Membership and Leadership 72.64 69.55 73.45 69.57 63.15 70.30 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 5| http://www.uniloa.org Relationships 70.28 LOW I T EM ME A N S F OR T HE S E VE N UN IL OA DO M AI N S The UniLOA is designed to identify student behaviors that lend themselves to institutional response. The items below report areas in which students have reported low levels of performance, as well as suggestions as to how institutions might consider interventions designed to improve behavior in each of the UniLOA’s seven domains. Item and Domain Item Narrative 57 (Critical Thinking) I an good at describing things in class. For example, I answer the teachers’ quesitons when we are reviewing material. I list my personal goals for a class or activity. For example, I list my learning goals for a class beyond the learning outcomes listed in the syllabus, as well as my goal for a grade. I make sure that whin I am talking with someone I change my communication style to be consistent with their world view. For example, when speaking to someone who is devoutly religious, I take that into account when I speak with them. I can tell anyone what diversity is. For example, I have a “standard” answer when someone asks me about diversity I engage in the political process through voicing viewpoints. For example, I write letters to the editor, engage in debate with others, or contact political leaders to voice my opinion. I actively seek leadership opportunities in the areas that are important to me or in which I have expertise. For example, I seek to be a leader in the groups I belong to. I use effective networking skills. For example, I go out of my comfort zone to introduce myself to and establish and maintain an appropriate relationship with others, such as my professors and supervisors 2 (Self-awareness) 31 (Communication) 25 (Diversity) 54 (Citizenship) 69 (Membership and Leadership) 21 (Relationships) National Mean 69.10 49.40 69.10 64.50 53.10 67.60 64.20 IN TERV EN TI ON S Because they are behaviorally-based measures, each item of the UniLOA is designed to suggest specific programmatic interventions that can be implemented to increase positive student behaviors within each domain. For example, the lowest item, goal setting (question #2), suggests that both stand alone workshops for students on goal setting and partnering with faculty members to create opportunities in classes to have students set learning goals and to self evaluate on their own progress toward those goals would be means by which students can better develop goal setting behaviors. Further, opportunities for students to meet informally with faculty would help directly in Critical Thinking and Relationships and have an indirect effect in several other domains. 6| http://www.uniloa.org DEF IN IT IO NS O F T H E U NI LOA D OM A IN S Critical Thinking The UniLOA’s authors consider critical thinking to be an active process where students use skills of evaluating, analyzing, assessing, interpreting, questioning and restating a problem or challenge. Effective problem-solving is bolstered by the individual’s skill in applying critical thinking skills to their academic lives and their lived experience. A skilled critical thinker should be able to examine and understand the fundamental qualities of problems, collect and analyze critical data, draw appropriate interpretations and conclusions, examine broad-based problem-solving options and effectively communicate and implement appropriate solutions. Self-Awareness Self awareness as a construct can be defined in multiple ways, but when those definitions are examined to identify common elements, consistency among the many definitions emerges. Self-awareness deals with awareness from the both internal and external perspectives. Those dual perspectives allow individuals to understand their place within the environment and to express behaviors and cognitions that compliment harmony between self and other. Self awareness is not a skill that is inherent within the human condition. To be sure, active self awareness comes only after conscious self-reflection comes to be a part of the lived experience. Communications In academic circles, there are many definitions of the construct “communication.” Yet, most contemporary definitions share common themes within them, including: An active process where one person conveys a message to another through a variety of forms, including speaking, writing, or other non verbal cues. Communication may be intentional or unintentional That different levels of communication exist depending on the relationship between the sender and the receiver That it provides a means by which needs can be expressed from one person to another That communication attempts to in some way impact the behavior of the “other” Our effectiveness in communicating with others requires an understanding of the environment, relationship to the other and how effective the symbols chosen for the expression of needs, wants, or perspective are in affecting behaviors. Diversity Diversity is an area of interest within higher education as it reflects an individual’s understanding and appreciation of “differences.” Those differences include such things as the recognition of values held by different people, cultures, ethnicity, politics, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation and a host of others. The understanding and appreciation of difference is necessary to establish and maintain pluralism in a way that will be complimentary to such things as social responsibility, cohesion and advancement of social structures, the bolstering of individual and group identity, equality and respect. But diversity goes beyond mere acceptance of difference, which in many cases may be mere tolerance. Indeed, moving beyond simple tolerance allows individual members of a social group the capacity to appreciate the positive contribution different people can make to the collective good of that social group, whether limited to small groups of individuals or on a global scale. 7| http://www.uniloa.org Citizenship Citizenship entails an understanding of one’s membership in a variety of “groups,” from the campus community to the global level, and a demonstrated commitment through behaviors that reflect active participation within those groups. Knowledge of the various rights, privileges and associated duties of citizenship are things in which students should be actively engaged; whether those are of a political, social, or legal nature. Membership and Leadership An understanding of the various types of relationships a student will experience is necessary as they identify with groups, whether those groups are formal or informal. Within formal groups, individuals should recognize how they can contribute and be active in their participation, whether that participation is the holding of a recognized office with prescribed duties, or a member that contributes to the common good through active participation that supports growth and development of the collective body. Relationships Interacting with others can be on a variety of levels including social, professional, intimate or others. An individual’s ability to influence others, to contribute to the meeting of self needs as well as the needs of others and to form individual identity as a result requires active management. The ability to effectively manage the “connectedness” between self and others allows individuals to be more productive to their own internal growth and development as well as to positively contribute to the growth and development of others. 8| http://www.uniloa.org CH A RT S AN D TA B LE S O F M AJ OR FI ND IN G S The tables and charts below are presented where differences were found or when findings counter prevailing assumptions.
