CCSSE Overview
Overview of National 2007 CCSSE Cohort Survey Results The overview provides a general understanding of the findings from the 2007 CCSSE
Cohort. The information includes an examination of member colleges and consortia
composition, comparisons between CCSSE institutions and all students at public community
colleges, a review of selected findings, and information on understanding your results. This report provides item-by-item percentage responses for the 2007 CCSSE Cohort (students who
participated in CCSSE from 2005 through 2007). It is designed to provide a summary of the results
contained in the Frequency Distributions Report and is presented in the same layout as The Community
College Student Report. College Results: A Synopsis Table 1: Respondents to Underlying Populations This table details respondent characteristics from your college compared to population data for
1) your college, 2) similarly-sized 2007 CCSSE Cohort colleges, and 3) all 2007 CCSSE Cohort
colleges. The specific characteristics examined include gender, race/ethnicity, age, and enrollment
status. (More details about Table 1) First Look: All Students - South Carolina This report for all students at your institution highlights those items where your college falls notably
above or below the mean of your comparison group. It is designed to provide a summary of results
displayed in the Means Summary section. (More details about First Look) First Look: Enrollment Status Breakout First Look: Enrollment Status Breakout - South Carolina This report by enrollment status (part- and full-time) highlights those items where your college falls
notably above or below the mean of your comparison group. It too is designed to provide a summary of
results displayed in the Means Summary section. Frequency Report: All Students Frequency Report: All Students - South Carolina This report provides item-by-item percentage responses for all students at your institution. In addition,
the far right column contains asterisks indicating those items that are significantly different, when applicable,
from your comparison group at p < .001 and with an effect size greater than or equal to .2. Means Summary Means Summary Report - South Carolina There are five Means Summary reports. First, the All Students report
provides item-by-item means for all students at your institution contrasted
with a comparison group and the 2007 CCSSE Cohort.
Second, Summary Statistics: All Students presents statistics on all students at
your institution contrasted with a comparison group and the 2007 CCSSE Cohort.
Third, the Means Summary Report:
Enrollment Status Breakout report provides item-by-item means for
all students at your institution by enrollment status (part- and full-time)
contrasted with a comparison group and the 2007 CCSSE Cohort.
Fourth, Summary Statistics: Part-Time Students presents statistics on part-time
students at your institution contrasted with a comparison group and the 2007 CCSSE Cohort.
Finally, Summary Statistics: Full-Time Students presents statistics on
full-time students at your institution contrasted with a comparison group and
the 2007 CCSSE Cohort.
(More details about the Means Summary reports) Frequency Distributions Frequency Distributions by Enrollment Status and All Students Frequency Distributions by Enrollment Status and All Students - South Carolina This report summarizes the observed frequencies of occurrence (counts and percentages) of the values
for each item on The Community College Student Report. Data are presented for all, part-time, and full-time
students at your college, a comparison group, and the 2007 CCSSE Cohort. Please note: certain
demographic items (gender, race/ethnicity, age, and enrollment status) do not appear on this report but
can be found in Table 1. 2007 CCSSE Special Focus Questions Frequencies 2007 CCSSE Special Focus Questions Frequencies - South Carolina This report summarizes the observed frequencies of occurrence (counts and percentages) of the values
for the five CCSSE Special Focus Questions included with The Community College Student Report.
Data are presented for all, part-time, and full-time students at your college, a comparison group, and the
2007 CCSSE Cohort. This report summarizes the observed frequencies of occurrence (counts and percentages) of the values for your consortium’s supplemental questions only. Data are presented for all, part-time, and fulltime students at your college compared to your consortium. Benchmark Reports The overview provides detailed information about CCSSE's Five Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice (Active and Collaborative Learning, Student Effort, Academic Challenge, Student-Faculty Interaction, and Support for Learners), information to aid in understanding and using the benchmarks, and CCSSE's policy statement on the "Responsible Uses of CCSSE Data." 2007 Benchmark Summary Table, Deciles, and Bar Charts and Benchmark Item Composition: All Students There are nine Benchmark reports. The first report is a Summary Table, which provides scores on each of the five benchmarks for your institution, a comparison group, and the 2007 CCSSE Cohort colleges. Meanwhile, the Benchmark Deciles Report highlights the five benchmark deciles for all students at your institution. The third report - Bar Charts and Benchmark Item Composition - uses bar charts to represent the data provided in the summary table, for all students for each benchmark. The next series of reports contains the same reports described above broken down by enrollment status (part- and full-time) for your institution, a comparison group, and 2007 CCSSE Cohort colleges. The final set of reports contains the same reports described above broken down by credit hour status (0 to 29 and 30+ credits) for your institution, a comparison group, and the 2007 CCSSE Cohort colleges. (More details about the Benchmark reports) Codebook The codebook provides information on the structure, contents, and layout of the CCSSE dataset. 2007 South Carolina Supplemental Questions Codebook The codebook includes the exact items used as additional questions for your consortium, variable names associated with additional survey items, and response values for each variable. This section provides a series of recommendations on interpreting and communicating your CCSSE results as well as ideas on ways to use data to drive decision making at your institution. CCFSSE Overview of National 2007 CCFSSE Cohort Survey Results The overview provides a general understanding of the project and highlights selected findings from the three-year cohort of colleges participating in the faculty survey. An alphabetical list of all institutions participating in the CCFSSE from 2005 through 2007. 2007 CCFSSE Faculty Frequency Distributions Student and Faculty Frequency Distributions This report summarizes the observed frequencies of occurrence (counts and percentages) of the values for generally equivalent items from your institution's faculty (part-time, full-time, and all faculty) on the Community College Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (CCFSSE), and all student data from your institution's in-class administration of The Community College Student Report (CCSR). For colleges that did not participate in the faculty survey, an example report is provided. This report summarizes the observed frequencies of occurrence (counts and percentages) from your institution's faculty for all faculty survey items that do not appear on the student survey. Data are presented for part-time, full-time, and all faculty respondents from your institution. For colleges that did not participate in the faculty survey, an example report is provided. 2007 CCFSSE Cohort Participating Faculty Report Student and Faculty Frequencies These reports provide aggregated side-by-side frequency data as well as frequency distributions for the 2007 CCFSSE Cohort colleges. The data dictionary for the Community College Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (CCFSSE) begins on the next page.
