Considering the impact of StudentSurvey.ie nationally and internationally after nine years of the survey

Abstract

In this short article, the StudentSurvey.ie Steering Group offers some observations about the development of the Irish Survey of Student Engagement since its inception in 2012. The article also considers what impact means for StudentSurvey.ie, before discussing some of the ways in which the results of StudentSurvey.ie (and PGR StudentSurey.ie) have had impact nationally and internationally. One way is the inclusion of StudentSurvey.ie in national quality assurance reviews, which has highlighted some of the opportunities and challenges in demonstrating the impact of StudentSurvey.ie within participating institutions. The publication of this article coincides with the publication of the StudentSurvey.ie Trend Analysis Research 2016-2021, which is briefly discussed. Some final remarks are offered.
