  1. MAP-Works:What is it?What does it tell us?How is it being used in the colleges?What do we know by week three? *Adapted from Sherry Woosley, Ph.D. Director of Analytics and Research, EBI MAP-Works.

  2. MAP-Works: What Is It? • Tool for early identification of undergraduates at potential risk for poor academic performance or departure. • Utilized by more than 1,500 institutions. • Links to ISU data on individual students as well as that entered by staff, faculty, and the students themselves. • Freshmen module to this point; sophomore, junior, and senior modules added this year.

  4. Fall 2011 Cohort continued • ISU • Students • 2,521 first-time freshmen (official) • Survey Return Rate: 2,080 (82.5% of FTF) • Approximately 1,821 residential respondents (92.7%) • 88% of respondents lived on-campus

  17. What Do We Know by Week Three?A More Focused Look at ISU Freshmen MAP Works Freshmen Survey 2011: 20 Factors Measured 66 Questions; 7-point rating scale (1=very poor/not at all/not at all certain to 7=excellent/extremely/always)

  18. Top 5 descriptive findings:Points of possible concern at 3 weeks • Homesickness-Separation (Mean=3.53; S.D.=1.56) • Test Anxiety (Mean=3.99; S.D.=1.68) • Financial Means Confidence (Mean=4.69; S.D.=1.67) • Analytical Skills (Mean=4.81; S.D.=1.25) • Communication Skills (Mean=4.87; S.D.=1.13)

  19. Inferential Findings: Where We Differ from Other Institutions

  20. Inferential Findings: What was Associated with Institutional Satisfaction • Commitment to the Institution (contributed 22% of the model explanation) • Peer Connections (contributed 12% of the model explanation) • Advanced Academic Behaviors (contributed 3.7% of the model explanation) • Time Management1(contributed 2.4% of the model explanation) Regression Model R2=.40 1This was the one factor with a negative relationship, inferring that the stronger the time management skills of a student, the less satisfied they were with ISU.
