Please note this event is for Members onlyIn this event, Mauricio Rivera, University of Sussex presented evidence of the validity and reliability of newly developed survey scales (i.e., university support knowledge and decision-making, academic and social self-efficacy, self-regulated learning, and graduate progression preparedness), highlighting two key uses and applications: (1) characterising university students in relation to the attributes measured by the scales and (2) evaluating Access and Participation Plan activities and intervention strategies, in conjunction with existing sector tools such as TASO’s Access and Success Questionnaire.
The session also explored how these scales align with and support the measurement of outcomes within the NERUPI framework.
It ran from 14:00 - 15:30.
