A Progress Conference Survey: Assessment of the First Enrollment Experience of the Educational Opportunity Program (GROUPS) Students. Indiana Studies in Higher Education Number 36.
Brigman, S. Leelan
A survey was conducted at Indiana University-Bloomington to provide (1) normative data for identifying common adjustment problems of the first enrollment experience of 265 of the Educational Opportunity Program (GROUPS) students, and (2) student evaluations of potential areas of the program that need administrative attention and/or redesigning. a multipurpose questionnaire, the Progress Conference Survey, was designed to facilitate the individual student conferences with counselor and to obtain information for program evaluation. Attitudes of GROUPS '77 students were assessed in four areas: support services, academic, resident life, and social/personal. Survey results show that GROUPS '77 attitude ranged from most positive to least positive in the following order: social/personal area, support service area, resident life area, and academic area. Academic problems and bad study habits were found to be mainly responsible for the attitude responses to the academic program. The most obvious misunderstandings were about tutors, and University and GROUPS program policies for probation and dismissal. The appendices contain the Progress Conference Survey, the Progress Conference Comment/Referral Sheet, and a label showing the percentage of GROUPS '77 participants responding to each alternative for the attitudinal items.
