FSSE Scales
Starting in 2013, FSSE staff grouped items into several scales that are organized within four themes that parallel the Engagement Indicators on the National Survey of Student Engagement.
Disciplinary Areas
Disaggregation by disciplinary area can be a useful lens for viewing FSSE results. Participating faculty are invited to provide their disciplinary appointment; find details about our default categorizations and list of disciplines and codes.
Canadian FSSE
Participating Canadian institutions receive the same FSSE instrument as participants in the U.S. with three exceptions. The course division item response options are "Lower division (mostly 1st year or 2nd year)" and "Upper division (mostly 3rd year or 4th year students)". Items about citizenship status and racial/ethnic identification do not appear on the Canadian instrument as these demographics would not apply in a Canadian context.
