Identifier	Thesis 1495
Author	Lanza, Elizabeth M
Title	Establishing faculty expectations regarding an alumni survey : an application of goal attainment scaling / Elizabeth M. Lanza
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	1998
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The purpose of this study was to establish standards for the interpretation of a survey sent to alumni of the Psychology Department at Central Connecticut State University. These alumni surveys were used as a part of a program evaluation effort being done by the Psychology Department. Surveys were mailed to a random sample or 235 psychology majors that had graduated one year, three years and five years ago from the university. Responses were received from 148 alumni (63% response rate). In order to establish standards of quality, a Goad Attainment Scaling (GAS) process was used with full-time psychology faculty in which each was asked to define expectations of alumni response levels that would indicate effective department functioning. Eight faculty members (47%) participated in the study. When alumni responses were compared to faculty expectations, two key findings emerged: 1) alumni were satisfied in general with the Psychology program at Central Connecticut State University, and 2) alumni responses exceeded faculty expectations in almost all areas. Ninety-five percent of the alumni were satisfied that they had majored in psychology and almost 99% were satisfied with the challenge the courses offered. Two areas were identified needing improvement: 1) vocational and academic guidance, and 2) understanding and applying mathematical concepts. A discussion of the findings, the limitations of the study, and their implications for future work is included.
