Abstract | In order to ease the academic and social transition, to forge a solid foundation for the rest of the academic career, and to increase the likelihood that students will persist through the second year and beyond, curricula and cocurricular programs are designed to meet the needs of first-year students and facilitate learning and development. Maximizing the effectiveness of these efforts requires comprehensive data that provide academic, social, and personal information about the same cohort of students at both college entry and the end of the first year (that is, longitudinal data). The Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) Freshman Survey and Your First College Year (YFCY) are two surveys used to assess the needs of first-year students and the effectiveness of campus-based first-year initiatives. This article describes how these surveys were developed and administered. It also presents brief descriptions of several types of analyses to consider when working with the Freshman Survey, YFCY, or other national assessment data. (ERIC). |
