2014 Developmental Student Outcomes Survey: Report of Findings
BC Student Outcomes
The Developmental Student Outcomes (DEVSO) Survey is one of four annual surveys that make up the British Columbia (BC) Student Outcomes project. This report presents the system-level findings from the 2014 Developmental Student Outcomes Survey. The results included in the report were analysed by demographic characteristics and other factors. The differences noted in the report are those that were statistically significant--a statistically significant result is one that cannot reasonably be explained by chance alone. The first part of the report focusses on former Adult Basic Education (ABE) students; the second part, on former ESL students. Each part of the report begins with a description of the respondents' demographic characteristics. This is followed by a presentation of the respondents' reasons or goals for enrolling, their evaluation of their education, and a discussion around how they financed their studies. The final sections centre on further education and employment outcomes--what former students did after they left their studies. [The 2014 Development Student Outcomes Survey Report of Findings has been prepared by BC Stats for the BC Student Outcomes Research Forum. The 2014 BC Student Outcomes surveys were conducted with funding from the Ministry of Advanced Education and the participating British Columbia post-secondary institutions. For the report from the previous year, "2013 Developmental Student Outcomes Survey: Report of Findings," see ED590383.]
