| Shrnutí: | Final report from a project that established a holistic framework that allows higher education institutions to manage and improve their student engagement and retention strategies and programs. The project team worked through four stages: (1) developing the framework through a synthesis of theoretical and empirical literature and student engagement, success and retention (SESR) practice data in four institutions; (2) trialling the SESR-framework by using it to guide the collection of evidence about actual SESR practices; (3) developing and iteratively applying an assessment toolkit to determine the maturity of the institutional SESR practices; and (4) verifying the SESR- framework in terms of how well it accurately reflected current SESR practices, and how well it conveyed actionable information about desired SESR practices within the context of each individual institution's strategic direction and priorities, by developing a visual communication tool and provided to the project institutions in the form of Institutional Maturity Reports. Key tools developed include: a framework for managing and improving student engagement and retention strategies and programs, the Maturity Model for Student Engagement, Success and Retention (SESR-MM); and an SESR Maturity Assessment Toolkit. A major outcome of this project is agreement from staff drawn from eight higher education institutions that the SESR-MM is a useful and appropriate tool for guiding the strategic coordination, management, review and improvement of institutional SESR programs and practices. |
