NSSE 2005 Benchmark Report
Texas Tech University
To focus discussions about the importance of student engagement and guide institutional improvement efforts, NSSE created five
clusters or benchmarks of effective educational practice: (1) Level of academic challenge, (2) Active and collaborative learning,
(3) Student-faculty interaction, (4) Enriching educational experiences, and (5) Supportive campus environment. Using
approximately 225,000 randomly selected students from 518 institutions that participated in NSSE 2005, this Benchmark Report
compares the performance of your institution with its selected peer group, Carnegie group, and the 2005 national norms. In
addition, page 8 provides two other comparisons between your school and above-average institutions with benchmarks in the top
50% nationally and high-performing institutions with benchmarks in the top 10% nationally. These displays allow you to
determine if the engagement of your typical student differs in a statistically significant, meaningful way from the average student
in these comparison groups. More detailed information about how benchmarks are created can be found in the 2005 annual report
and on the NSSE website at nsse.iub.edu.
Guide to Your Benchmark Report
Class
Means are reported for
first-year students and
seniors. Only students
who were part of the
base random sample or
random oversample are
included in these
analyses. Students in
targeted oversamples
are not included.
Statistical Significance
Benchmarks with mean differences that are larger than would be expected
by chance alone are noted with one, two, or three asterisks, denoting one of
three significance levels (p<.05, p< .01, and p<.001). The smaller the
significance level, the smaller the likelihood that the difference is due to
chance. Please note that statistical significance does not guarantee that the
result is substantive or important. Large sample sizes (like those seen with
NSSE data) tend to produce more statistically significant results even
though the magnitude of mean differences may be inconsequential.

Class
Mean
The mean is the
weighted arithmetic
average of student
level benchmark
scores. Although
institutional
benchmark score
calculations have not
changed from prior
years, reference group
calculations were
revised in 2005.

Effect Size
Effect size indicates the
“practical significance” of the
mean difference. It is
calculated by dividing the
mean difference by the
standard deviation of the
group with which the
institution is being compared
(selected peers, Carnegie type,
or 2005 national norm). In
practice, an effect size of .2 is
often considered small, .5
moderate, and .8 large. A
positive sign indicates that
your institution’s mean was
greater, thus showing an
affirmative result for the
institution. A negative sign
indicates the institution lags
behind the comparison group.
Look for patterns of effect
sizes that point to areas of
student or institutional
performance that warrant
attention.

Level of Academic Challenge Items
Challenging intellectual and creative work is central to student learning and collegiate quality. Colleges and universities promote high levels of
student achievement by emphasizing the importance of academic effort and setting high expectations for student performance.
Benchmark
Description & Survey
Items
A theoretical rationale
for measuring the
benchmark and the
individual items used
in its creation are
summarized.
● Preparing for class (studying, reading, writing, rehearsing, etc. related to academic program)
● Number of assigned textbooks, books, or book-length packs of course readings
● Number of written papers or reports of 20 pages or more; number of written papers or reports of between 5 and 19 pages; and
number of written papers or reports of fewer than 5 pages
● Coursework emphasizing analysis of the basic elements of an idea, experience or theory
● Coursework emphasizing synthesis and organizing of ideas, information, or experiences into new, more complex interpretations
and relationships
● Coursework emphasizing the making of judgments about the value of information, arguments, or methods
● Coursework emphasizing application of theories or concepts to practical problems or in new situations
● Working harder than you thought you could to meet an instructor's standards or expectations
● Campus environment emphasizing time studying and on academic work

Active and Collaborative Learning Items
Students learn more when they are intensely involved in their education and asked to think about what they are learning in different settings.
Collaborating with others in solving problems or mastering difficult material prepares students for the messy, unscripted problems they will
encounter daily during and after college.
