For many instructors, an understanding of how to engage their students more productively in learning activities is an ongoing and fundamental challenge. Although there are many survey instruments for studying the prevalence of engagement, they generally do not provide the detailed diagnostic information instructors need to make courses more engaging for their students. To fill this gap, we have been developing and testing a course-level engagement survey instrument that can be administered to students. The survey items are designed to assess student's cognitive, affective, and behavioral engagement as well as aspects of the course that are enhancing or inhibiting these components of engagement. In this session, we will discuss survey results from courses at three institutions (University of Iowa's Medical School, Norco College, and Dominican University) where the instrument has been tested.#AssessmentinHigherEducation #2011Conference
