BCSSE Institutional Report 2013
Introduction
Guide to Your Report
Students enter your campus with a variety of backgrounds and experiences that relate to their academic engagement and
success. The purpose of BCSSE is to provide your campus with valuable and timely information that will allow you to
positively impact the first-year experiences of your students.
The BCSSE Institutional Report 2013 contains three sections that highlight important characteristics related to your
incoming first-year class. The first section of this report describes the background characteristics of your first-year
students who responded to the survey. The second section contains the frequency distributions for all questions on the
survey. Overall results for your institution are presented, as well as results by gender and first-generation status. The
third section contains the overall institutional means for nine BCSSE First-Year Indicators. These indicators provide
important information regarding high school engagement with quantitative reasoning and learning strategies, as well as
expected first-year academic engagement and academic performance. Similar to the frequency distributions, the mean
differences are also reported by gender and first-generation status. In total, this report provides your institution with the
best estimates of your incoming first-year student academic characteristics.
Student Comparisons
As described above, your BCSSE Institutional Report 2013 contains results by gender and first-generation status. The
results are presented by student subgroup to better understand the diversity of student experiences within each campus.
This allows you to effectively target important academic resources to the students who are in the most need. Though this
report only examines group differences by gender and first-generation status, there are many other important subgroups
to consider depending on the unique circumstances of your campus.
BCSSE Reports
Don't forget that this institutional report is one of two reports. BCSSE was designed as a companion to the National
Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). By participating in NSSE in the spring of 2014, you will also receive a BCSSE
2013-NSSE 2014 Combined Report that provides a detailed cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of your first-year
students.

this year's registration deadline, can be found at nsse.iub.edu.

1. First-Year Indicator : The First-Year Indicator appears in the
left column of the report.
2. Variable Name : The variable name as it appears in the data file
and codebook.
3. Mean : The unweighted scale mean is reported overall for the
institution, as well as by gender and first-generation status.
4. Institutional Level : Results for each item for the institution
overall.
5. Selected Student Comparisons : Results for each item by
gender and first-generation status.
6.
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 tend to generate more
statistically significant results even though the
magnitude of mean differences may be
inconsequential. It is recommended to consult
effect sizes to judge the practical meaning of
the results.
7.
Effect size : Indicates the "practical significance"
of the mean difference. It is calculated by
dividing the mean difference by the pooled
standard deviation. In practice, an effect size of
.2 is often considered small, .5 moderate, and .8
large.
