BCSSE Institutional Report 2010
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 2010 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 six BCSSE scales. These scales provide important information regarding high
school academic engagement, expected first-year academic engagement, as well as an assessment of
expected first-year 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 2010 contains results by gender and firstgeneration status. The results are presented by student subgroup because of the importance to better
understand the diversity of student experiences within each campus. With a better understanding of
student variation, you may more 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 2011,
you will also receive a BCSSE 2010-NSSE 2011 Combined Report that provides a detailed longitudinal
analysis of your first-year students.
Where to Find More Information
To see a sample of the BCSSE 2010-NSSE 2011 Combined Report , go to: bcsse.iub.edu. More
information about NSSE, including this year's regsitration deadline, can be found at nsse.iub.edu.

Statistical Significance
Effect Size
The unweighted scale
mean is reported overall
for the institution, as well
as by gender and firstgeneration status
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.
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.
