Student Survey in Ireland -StudentSurveyIE

StudentSurveyIE (formerly known as The Irish Survey of Student Engagement or ISSE) has been running every year since 2013. The central aim of this national survey is to develop a valuable source of information about students’ experiences of higher education in Ireland. The survey seeks to collect information on student engagement across all aspects of university life, with a particular focus on how students engage with their learning environments. Students are ultimately responsible for their own learning but this depends on institutions and staff creating an environment that encourages and promotes student involvement in educationally-relevant activities. The results from the survey help institutions celebrate and enhance areas of strength, and identify and address areas of weakness.

The development of the StudentSurveyIE was informed by experiences gained from other countries where similar surveys are already in place. In particular, the ISSE is closely related to the Australasian Survey of Student Engagement (AUSSE, in operation since 2007), which has formative links with the US National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE, in operation since 2000). The ISSE is a comprehensive, sophisticated, internationally validated and robust survey instrument designed to elicit feedback on multiple complex themes that are pertinent to monitoring the experience of the students enrolled in our higher education institutions.
