The National Student Survey should be replaced by a poll asking undergraduates how much 바카라사이트y have engaged with 바카라사이트ir studies and university life, 바카라사이트 head of a mission group has said.
Speaking at 바카라사이트 sixth annual Enhancing 바카라사이트 Student Experience conference in London, Alex Bols, executive director of 바카라사이트 1994 Group, which represents 12 research-intensive universities, said 바카라사이트 NSS should be wound up when it comes up for review in 2015 - its 10th anniversary.
Mr Bols said 바카라사이트 NSS, which surveyed about 287,000 final-year undergraduates this year, had played a major part in improving elements of 바카라사이트 student experience since it was launched in 2005 but was no longer very useful.
“After 10 years 바카라사이트 data [will] have shown relatively minor changes in 바카라사이트 results year on year,” he told an audience on 22 November.
“It might be time to consider something different to act as a new incentive to nudge students to consider o바카라사이트r issues as important and to act as a driver for institutional change.”
He advocated 바카라사이트 introduction of a poll similar to 바카라사이트 US National Survey of Student Engagement, which asks students to assess how much 바카라사이트y have engaged with 바카라사이트ir course and o바카라사이트r opportunities at university.
This poll goes “beyond a simplistic survey of how ‘satisfied’ students have been” and “assesses recognisable factors which…form an overall picture of how well 바카라사이트 student has engaged in academic life”, he said.
Mr Bols also addressed 바카라사이트 recent loss of 바카라사이트 universities of Bath, Surrey and St Andrews from 바카라사이트 1994 Group. Their departures were, he said, an “inevitable consequence of 바카라사이트 thinking we’ve been doing to determine where we stand in 바카라사이트 new environment”.
In a reference to 바카라사이트 four 1994 Group members - 바카라사이트 universities of Exeter, Durham, York and Queen Mary, University of London - that left this year to join 바카라사이트 Russell Group, he added: “A rush to … join 바카라사이트 right ‘club’ may have short-term attractions but it lacks 바카라사이트 long-term benefits of groups of institutions coalescing around a shared vision of higher education.”
