Texas Tech University Mean Comparisons August 2007 Interpreting the Mean Comparisons Report Sample The Mean Comparisons report is based on information from all randomly selected students for both your institution and your comparison institutions. Targeted oversamples and other non-randomly selected students are not included in this report. Statistical Significance Items with mean differences that are larger than would be expected by chance alone are noted with one, two, or three asterisks, referring to 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. Statistical significance does not guarantee the result is substantive or important. Large sample sizes (like those produced by NSSE) tend to generate more statistically significant results even though the magnitude of mean differences may be inconsequential. It is recommended to consult effect sizes (see below) to judge the practical meaning of the results. Variables The items from the NSSE survey appear in the left column in the same order and wording as they appear on the instrument. The name of each variable appears in the second column for easy reference to your data file and the summary statistics at the end of this section. Response options are also provided to help you interpret the statistics. Benchmark Items that comprise 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 1.

Institution-reported class ranks are used. Effect Size Effect size indicates the “practical significance” of NSSE 2007 Mean Comparisons the mean difference.

A negative sign 1.89 2.14 *** -.32 1.98 -.12 2.12 *** -.30 indicates the institution lags behind the comparison group, suggesting that the student behavior or institutional practice represented by the item may warrant attention. An exception to this interpretation is the “coming to class unprepared” item (item 1f.) where a negative sign is preferred (i.e., meaning fewer students reporting coming to class unprepared).

IPEDS: 229115 16 Texas Tech University Frequency Distributions August 2007 Interpreting the Frequency Distributions Report Sample The Frequency Distributions report is based on information from all randomly selected students for both your institution and your comparison institutions. Targeted oversamples and other non-randomly selected students are not included in this report. Weighting Weights adjusting for gender, enrollment status, and institutional size are applied to the percentage column (%) of this report. Weights are computed separately for first-year students and seniors. Weighted results present a more accurate representation of your institution and comparison group students. Only the column percents are weighted. The counts are the actual number of respondents. Because the counts are unweighted and the column percentages are weighted, you will not be able to calculate the column percent directly from the count numbers. For more information about weighting, please visit the NSSE Web site at www.nsse.iub.edu/2007_Institutional_Report/NSSE_2007_Weighting.cfm Variables The items from the NSSE survey appear in the left column in the same order and wording as they appear on the instrument. Variable Names The name of each variable appears in the first column for easy reference to your raw data file and the Mean Comparisons report. Class Benchmark Frequency distributions are reported separately for first-year students and Items that comprise the five “Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice” are indicated by seniors. Institution-reported class ranks are used. the following: LAC=Level of Academic Challenge NSSE 2007 Engagement Item Frequency Distributions ACL=Active and NSSEville State University Count Collaborative Learning First-Year Students Seniors The Count column SFI=Student-Faculty NSSEville State Selected Peers Carnegie Peers NSSE 2007 NSSEville State Selected Peers Carnegie Peers NSSE 2007 represents the actual Interaction Asked questions in class or CLQUEST Never 7 1% 210 3% 202 2% 3,791 3% 1 0% 99 2% 89 1% 2,111 2% contributed to class discussions (ACL) Sometimes 138 31% 2721 40% 3,083 33% 47,772 38% 58 17% 1570 27% 1,566 21% 32,172 27% EEE=Enriching Educational number of students who Often 163 40% 2404 35% 3,290 38% 46,652 35% 118 37% 1958 32% 2,458 34% 42,486 33% Very often 94 27% 1549 22% 2,158 26% 32,486 23% 154 46% 2465 39% 3,233 44% 51,477 37% Experiences responded to the particular Total 402 100% 6884 100% 8,733 100% 130,701 100% 331 100% 6092 100% 7,346 100% 128,246 100% Made a class presentation CLPRESEN Never 43 11% 948 14% 955 12% 17,353 16% 8 3% 261 5% 274 4% 5,026 5% option in each question.
