… CORE OF ROCKFORD …

Introduction

Welcome to the 2011-2012 edition of the Rockford College Fact Book. An institutional fact book provides a centralized location for valuable information about the college. Data within this document are available to facilitate analysis of trends, decision-making and reporting. Existence of the Rockford College Fact Book helps institutionalize the collection, dissemination and use of standardized information.

The fact book project was initially developed through the Rockford College Assessment Seminar (RCAS) and has been implemented by the Office of Institutional Research. Every effort is made to include the most accurate, currently available data along with historical trends. A majority of the data in this edition reflects the 2011-2012 academic year. A pdf version of the fact book is available on the Rockford College website.

The Rockford College Fact Book is updated annually by the Office of Institutional Research. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact Ryan Chung, Coordinator of Institutional Research, at (815) 226-4186 or rchung@rockford.edu.

Standardized Institutional Assessment

Rockford College participates in two standardized assessments of student learning: the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA) and the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). These two assessment tools are administered in alternate years. The most recent data provided is from the CLA administration during the 2010-2011 academic year and the NSSE administration in Spring 2010. The CLA will be administered next during the 2012-2013 academic year, and NSSE was administered during the Spring 2012 semester (with data not available until Fall 2012).

Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA) The CLA is designed to measure an institution’s contribution, or value-added score, to the development of higher-order skills (e.g. analytic reasoning and evaluation, writing effectiveness, writing mechanics, and problem solving). This assessment tool randomly assigns students to take either a Performance Task or an Analytic Writing Task. The Analytic Writing Task includes a pair of prompts called Make-an-Argument and Critique-an-Argument. This type of assessment requires that students use critical thinking and written communication skills to perform cognitively demanding tasks.

The CLA allows the College to determine whether our first-year and senior students are performing (a) near expected, (b) above expected, (c) below expected, (d) well above expected, or (e) well below expected, based on their general aptitude. It also allows an institution to compare its students’ learning results to those at similar institutions. Finally, the CLA is intended to assist faculty, school administrators, and others interested in programmatic changes to improve both teaching and learning.

The following table shows average scores and performance levels of first-year and senior students who participated in the 2010-2011 CLA. Collegiate Learning Assessment Scores 2010 - 2011 Senior

 

Based on the average Entering Academic Ability score of Rockford College first-year students, we would expect the average CLA score to be 1050. The actual average was 1121, which is at the expected level.

Based on the average Entering Academic Ability score of Rockford College seniors, we would expect the average CLA score to be 1156. Or seniors scored 1208, which is well above the expected level.

The 2010-2011 CLA results should be interpreted with caution due to small sample sizes and high transfer-in rates of 9 freshmen and 22 seniors (including 19 seniors transfer-in students). Please contact Chih-Ming (Ryan) Chung Ph. D., Coordinator of Institutional Research, at rchung@rockford.edu for additional information.

National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) The following information is reproduced from Rockford College’s NSSE 2012 Benchmark Comparisons Report and Multi-Year Benchmark Report. The Executive Snapshot summarizes benchmark results (based on mean comparisons) for Rockford College and its three comparison groups. A plus sign (+) indicates that Rockford College scored significantly higher than the respective comparison group (p < .05), a minus sign (–) indicates that Rockford College scored significantly lower than the comparison group, and a blank space indicates no significant different between Rockford College and the comparison group. After the summary table, benchmark comparisons and trend information are presented separately for each of the five benchmarks.

NSSE - Active and Collaborative Learning Students learn more when they are intensely involved in their education and asked to think about what they are learning in different settings. Collaborating with others in solving problems or mastering difficult material prepares students for the messy, unscripted problems they will encounter daily during and after college.
