Transcription

1 Impact of QEP: Indirect Assessments of Student Learning NSSE Data- Student Perceptions of KSU s Campus Climate Supporting Global Engagement Quite a Bit or Very Much Students KSU emphasizes encouraging contact among students among different economic, social, and racial or ethnic backgrounds (Question #10). KSU contributed greatly to their development of understanding people of other racial and ethnic backgrounds (Question #11). Interest in participating in study abroad before graduating (Question #7). First Yr. Seniors First Yr. Seniors 48% 47% 50% 53% 57% 54% 59% 57% 66% 57% 62% 60% First Yr. 31% 39% 47% Note. Table summarizes statistically sign. longitudinal increases (p<.01 for all longitudinal comparisons) in the percentages of first-year students and seniors endorsing items that reflect a campus supportive of global engagement.
