Using Large Survey Data to Understand the Engagement of Students with Disabilities (Practice Brief)
Zilvinskis, John
Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, v33 n3 p257-263 Fall 2020
Each year hundreds of institutions will administer national surveys to measure the engagement of their students. However, stakeholders on college campuses, such as educators (faculty, instructors, student affairs educators, and disability services administrators) and institutional research staff who work with this information are often unaware of how these extant data can be used to understand the engagement of college students with disabilities. The purpose of this practice brief is to inform stakeholders how they may consider using data from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) or the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) by (a) describing the theoretical frameworks undergirding the survey items related to disability, (b) recommending how to analyze the data in anti-deficit ways while considering strategies of disaggregation, and (c) demonstrating how to use the data to understand disability as a construct of diversity, informing practice and policy when supporting these students.
