Senior Institutional Research Analyst San Francisco State University Cypress, California, United States
Session Abstract: Explore the evolution of student engagement patterns across prepandemic, pandemic, and postpandemic periods using National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) data. This session employs Latent Class Analysis (LCA) and mediation modeling to uncover how these patterns influence student retention through satisfaction with their institution. Understanding these dynamic shifts is crucial for developing adaptive strategies to enhance student support systems. Attendees will learn to apply LCA, evaluate complex pathways with mediation modeling, and develop tailored support strategies. This session offers actionable insights for academic advising, student support programs, and monitoring systems, contributing significantly to the field of Institutional Research.
