什么是较量?

近1,700所高校参加, 较量 is a key tool for helping improve the undergraduate student experience

每两年一次, Metropolitan State University of 丹佛 freshmen and seniors, 与全国各地的许多机构一起, 参加 全国学生参与调查, a survey administered by the Center for Postsecondary Research at Indiana University‘s 教育学院. This survey asks students about their engagement in a variety of academic and non-academic activities and learning, 特别是在多样性方面, 公民, and practices that have been found to have a high impact on learning and success.

较量 2023

2023年春天，较量的调查又回来了! The 2023 year’s survey focused on Roadrunner Civic Engagement and Mental health/Wellness. Seniors were shown to have participated in two or more high impact practices than the Carnegie Class comparison group. Both first year students as well as seniors were also shown to have significantly higher quality of interactions.

该调查于2023年3月至5月进行:

较量 2021

密歇根州立大学丹佛 participated in the survey in the midst of Covid-19 in the spring of 2021. Despite the challenges of inspiring student responses during a pandemic, and perhaps because of an incentive that offered donations to the 密歇根州立大学丹佛 Food Pantry for every completed response, the University achieved an overall response rate of 11% for freshman and 20% for seniors – higher than during the last administration of the survey in 2019.

Key reports from the 较量 are now available on a SharePoint 网站 所有与丹佛州立大学有关联的人都可以访问. 为2021年的调查管理, we elected to include two additional modules: the Civic Engagement module (which we have included in the past) and a module designed specifically about Covid-19. 较量 is structured in such a way that the University is automatically compared to a group of institutions referenced as “Rocky Mountain Public” (essentially, 科罗拉多州的公共机构, 蒙大拿, 犹他州, 和怀俄明州也加入了较量).

We were also able to select additional comparison groups and created two: one group based on similar institutions that are also members of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) 美国民主项目 和/或 城市和城市大学联盟 (CUMU) that have identified similar strategic goals related to civic engagement and anchor work; and a second group pulled from our Peer Institutions as identified by 密歇根州立大学丹佛的 Curriculum, 学术有效性, 及政策发展办事处.

Here are some highlights – identifying areas 密歇根州立大学丹佛 does well in, and those where we can enhance our current work to better support student success:

• 密歇根州立大学丹佛 freshmen responded favorably at a significantly higher rate than freshmen at other institutions regarding instructors providing prompt and detailed feedback on tests and assignments; and indicated that their experience at 密歇根州立大学丹佛 has contributed to their ability to understand people of other backgrounds.
• Seniors also reported favorably (significantly more than those at other institutions) regarding the institution’s emphasis on encouraging contact among students from different backgrounds, 参加一些重要的社交活动, 经济和政治问题, as well as the institution’s emphasis on helping students manage non-academic responsibilities.
• 指明需要重新集中精力的领域, 密歇根州立大学丹佛 students reported significantly less interaction and collaboration with other students and faculty – whether on research with faculty or studying and preparing for exams with other students – than respondents from the other Rocky Mountain Public institutions.

该调查于2021年3月至5月进行:
