The National Student Survey for Student Engagement in the US and Canada: Analysis and lessons for the UK

This presentation draws on findings from a study that compared student engagement in two countries Canada and the U.S to develop recommendations for UK HEIs. The data is drawn from the National Survey of Student Engagement using responses from over 300 000 students in one year of survey administration. Results are used as a vehicle to discuss the application of engagement-based surveys in the UK. A comparison of satisfaction and engagement surveys will be made leading to a critical review of how such data can then be used for policy decisions institutional development and departmental improvement.
