An Engagement-Based Student Typology and Its Relationship to College Outcomes
Hu, Shouping; McCormick, Alexander C.
Research in Higher Education, v53 n7 p738-754 Nov 2012
Using data from the 2006 cohort of the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education, we developed a student typology based on student responses to survey items on the National Survey of Student Engagement. We then examined the utility of this typology in understanding direct-assessment learning outcomes, self-reported gains, grade-point average, and persistence from the first to second year of college. Results from linear and logistic regression models indicated there were relationships between student types and the various outcomes, and that an engagement-based student typology could help deepen our understanding of the college student experience and college outcomes.
