BCSSE Scales Snapshot BCSSE Scales and their constituent items offer valuable information about distinct aspects of student engagement. The results below contain item- and scale-level results for your institution by student characteristics and by comparison with other institutions. Several of the BCSSE Scales correspond with NSSE Engagement Indicators, and all are scored in the same way—from 0 to 60. For example, with BCSSE and NSSE data you can compare student expectations for peer collaboration to their actual collaboration several months later. Click HERE for more details about BCSSE Scales and to download a copy of the the BCSSE survey. Results by Student Characteristics The bar graphs below—grouped by the BCSSE Scales—represent the item-level results for your campus, with the corresponding scale score to the right (inside the circle). Below the BCSSE Scale score is the mean difference between your students' score and the mean score of students at other institutions. Use one or more of the student-level filters above (First-Generation, Major Category, etc.) to display results for selected groups of students on your campus. For example, you can generate results for first-generation students expecting to major in business. Results by Institution Characteristics You can also use the institution-level filters (Control and Carnegie) to compare your BCSSE Scale scores to those of other institutions who meet the same criteria. For example, BCSSEville State University, a public, master’s-level institution, can compare its scale scores to all other participating public, master’s-level institutions. Note that for this page and all other pages in this dashboard, the structure of the data does not allow an institution to directly compare itself to institutions in a different control or Carnegie type. For example, BCSSEville State University cannot directly compare results to private or doctoral-level institutions. However, summary results for all institutions by Carnegie and control are available when the UNITID is set to "All". Looking for final reports?
