- 2019 Diverse Learning EnvironmentsMcLennan, Destiny (Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA, 2019-10-01)The Diverse Learning Environments (DLE) survey is designed to capture student perception of institutional climate; student learning outcomes (e.g., sense of belonging); and campus practices as experienced with faculty and staff. The Cooperative Institutional Research Program has administered the DLE survey every year since 2011. The sample for the DLE 2019 survey includes 9,598 students from seventeen institutions. This report seeks to understand student thought and engagement with and around diverse issues. While understanding how institutions are fostering diverse environments is critical, we must do more to understand how students actively insert themselves in these conversations, classes, and events. Understanding how students both act and think about diverse issues allows campuses to gauge student activity and learn how to best engage their students in tackling potentially difficult dialogues.
- The American Freshman: National Norms Fall 2019Bara Stolzenberg, Ellen; Aragon, Melissa C.; Romo, Edgar; Couch, Victoria; McLennan, Destiny; Eagan, M. Kevin; Kang, Nathaniel (Cooperative Institutional Research Program, 2020)In this report of the 54th administration of the Freshman Survey, the authors recognize the increasing diversity of incoming college students, along with two new items addressing reasons students choose their particular institution: academic reputation of their intended major and communication with a professor. This report covers a number of financial concerns, such as students’ likelihood of getting a job to help pay for college and how time spent exercising or playing sports varies by family income. The authors also highlight recent trends in students’ emotional and physical health and academic behaviors. Further, they discuss the misalignment between degree and career aspirations for subgroups of students and students’ self-rated ability to manage their time effectively. Finally, they address students’ social and political engagement, including past and forthcoming behaviors and their future goals.
