新建地方本科院校教学质量保障路径新探索——基于NSSE-China问卷的调查研究

本科教育质量是衡量大学办学水平的重要指标。新建地方本科院校因受多种因素制约,教育质量问题面临更多的忧思和批判。文章采用“全美大学生参与度调查”工具（NSSE：the National Sur-vey of Student Engagement）,以贵州省4所新建地方本科院校的800名本科生为研究样本,通过对大学生学习性投入现状的分析,从“学生参与”的视角探究我国新建地方本科院校教学质量保障存在的问题,并提出了针对性的教育质量保障路径突破口：优化课程挑战度,促进学生的专业发展;搭建师生交流平台,促进师生情感互动;吸引省外生源,优化生源结构。     

Student Engagement and Student Learning: Testing the Linkages*

This study examines (1) the extent to which student engagement is associated with experimental and traditional measures of academic performance, (2) whether the relationships between engagement and academic performance are conditional, and (3) whether institutions differ in terms of their ability to convert student engagement into academic performance. The sample consisted of 1058 students at 14 four-year colleges and universities that completed several instruments during 2002. Many measures of student engagement were linked positively with such desirable learning outcomes as critical thinking and grades, although most of the relationships were weak in strength. The results suggest that the lowest-ability students benefit more from engagement than classmates, first-year students and seniors convert different forms of engagement into academic achievement, and certain institutions more effectively convert student engagement into higher performance on critical thinking tests. *A version of this paper was presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, San Diego, April 2004.
