2005 Findings
Presenter: LaSylvia Pugh – September 14, 2006
Presentation Purpose
• Share results of the Community
College Faculty Survey of
Student Engagement (CCSSE)
• Compare and contrast Part-time
and Full-time Faculty
responses to CCFSSE
2
CCSSE Overview
The Community College Survey of Student
Engagement (CCSSE) is a national study
conducted by the Community College
Leadership Program at the University of
Texas at Austin
CCSSE was designed to help us assess
quality in community college education;
identify and learn from good educational
practice; and identify areas in which we can
improve programs and services for
students.
3
CCSSE Overview
In the Spring of 2005, nearly 130,000
community college students from 257
colleges, in 38 states participated in
the CCSSE study.
In the Spring of 2005, 679 Durham
Tech credit students, in 68 randomly
selected courses, participated in the
CCSSE study.
4
CCFSSE Overview
The Community College Faculty Survey of
Student Engagement (CCFSSE) is:
• Web-based Instrument
• Designed to mirror CCSSE to
facilitate comparisons between
student and faculty responses
• CCFSSE asks faculty members to
respond based on a SPECIFIC COURSE
they were teaching in the Spring of 2005
5
CCFSSE Overview
The Community College Faculty Survey of
Student Engagement (CCFSSE) elicits
information from faculty about:
• Their teaching practices
•
Perceptions regarding students’
educational experiences
• The ways they spend their professional
time OUTSIDE the classroom
• The ways they spend their professional
time INSIDE the classroom
6
CCFSSE Data Collection Process
A total of 169 part-time and full-time faculty
members completed the CCFSSE in the
Spring of 2005
• Faculty members received an e-mail
invitation directly from CCSSE
facilitators in March 2005
Only faculty members teaching a course
in the Spring of 2005 were invited to
participate
