Research Questions
1.
Is the Mission Perception
Inventory (MPI) a valid and reliable
reliable measure of student
perception of institutional
mission?
Test instrument reliability.
Uncover constructs.2. What are the factors in the MPI?
Observe constructs
longitudinally.
3.
Do the factors recur in repeated
administrations of the revised MPI?
4.
Are the factors equally reliable over time?

Select the National Survey of
Student Engagement (NSSE) as
the vehicle for inserting research
questions.
Assemble a NSSE consortium to
jointly engage in research to explore
student perception of mission.
Develop question items;
administer them to the consortium
as a NSSE attachment.
Test the questions: reliability, factor
analysis, and correlation analysis. Repeat annually.

Reliability and factor analysis of the instrument based on results from administrations of consortium
questions have consistently produced a highly reliable scale measure called the Mission Perception Inventory
(MPI)*. Further analysis reveals three highly correlated and reliable subscales within the MPI:

In the column to the left of each graph, the rank (high to low) and semi-interquartile range are given for both
first year and senior scale means. Note carefully that the y-axis interval is 0.5 for some scales, and 0.1 for
others. In the columns under and/or to the right of the graph, the items contained in that scale are listed.
When comparing first year and senior mean scores, recall that the results of the NSSE 2008 produce a
snapshot in time of student responses. Results do not indicate growth or increase in scale means from first to
senior years, but simply a comparison of those cohort classes at one moment.
