Study #0212000011 | IRB Approval Date: June 10, 2019
Starting with FSSE 2013, sets of items have been grouped within several scales. These scales are organized within four themes that parallel engagement themes on the National Survey of Student Engagement. See more details about the FSSE Scales and their component items.
Participating faculty are invited to provide their disciplinary appointment and general academic discipline of their selected course section. Participating institutions are able to customize the disciplinary area groupings for the Disciplinary Area Report. See sample reports for more details on the default categorizations and list of disciplines and codes.
Participating Canadian institutions receive the same FSSE instrument as participants in the U.S. with three exceptions. Item #15 lists the course divisions as "Lower division (mostly 1st year or 2nd year)" and "Upper division (mostly 3rd year or 4th year students). Item #49 (citizenship status) and #50 (Racial/Ethnic Identification) do not appear on the Canadian instrument as these demographics would not apply in a Canadian context.
