University of Bath Canterbury Christ Church University Cardiff Metropolitan University King's College London Kingston University University of Oxford University of South Wales University of Warwick York St John University Objectives of the project 1. To evaluate the validity and reliability of adapted elements of the NSSE in the UK. 2. To improve our understanding of the levels of student engagement in the UK. 3. To support the participating institutions in using engagement data for enhancement. 4. To raise awareness of the use of engagement surveys for enhancement Response rate: 17% (13%-40%) (includes postgrads 10%)
- 8. Scales of Engagement Criticalthinking Four questions asked students about the emphasis their coursework has placed on a range of mental activities: analysing, synthesising, evaluating and applying information. Course challenge Three questions focused on how hard students have worked and how challenged they have been. Collaborative learning Three questions asked students how often they have interacted with other students in a range of ways. Academic integration Five questions (one of which also appears in the Collaborative Learning group) explored students‟ interaction with academic staff, participation in class and discussions with others outside class.
- 9. Selected findings There weremarked differences between disciplines, likely to be due to different pedagogies and expectations. E.g. application versus synthesis and evaluation UK students who participated in the UK pilot discussed their career plans with staff much less often than students in the US UK students may have talked to academic staff about ideas from the course more often than students in Australasia. The UK pilot had the lowest proportion of students stating that they had never discussed their academic performance with staff.

- 19. Some comments In mycourse, the teaching staff are the most depressing, unenthusiastic and morale sucking people I have ever met. Actually try? As it stands there are possibly two/three lecturers who even come close. It is extremely obvious that they are academics who give little to no thought to lecturing. Some of the teaching staff can be a bit rude and unhelpful to students Get rid of some of the awful lecturers Excellent levels of teaching and really great teachers. The lecturers in our department are very charismatic and interact with students outside of lectures, encouraging a passion for the subject My department are supportive, friendly and have made my time at university amazing High expectations and lots of support. They aim for high standards and excellence with each student. How help is available if needed but they also leave us to work if that's how we want to do it. They don't let you suffer in silence.
