Abstract

The engagement and retention of first year students has become a critical component of university endeavour as the diversity of the student body increases and as student enrolments drop. This paper documents a research study evaluating the effectiveness of an intervention strategy designed to increase students’ capacities to engage with their university studies. The intervention strategy comprises part of the assessment in a core first year communication course conducted by the Faculty of Arts at the University of Southern Queensland. A preliminary essay plan was introduced to help students become more familiar with academic processes to help them with their major essay – assignment 3. The research study measured the effectiveness of this strategy by first comparing the mean mark of the final essay before and after the preliminary essay plan was introduced and secondly, by documenting students’ comments about the assignment. It was found that students’ mean score for their essays increased by a grade from a ‘C’ to a ‘B’. While this result was encouraging there were other variables (changes in class format, other assessment items and staffing) that could have contributed to this increase. Nevertheless, the results warranted further investigation. A
qualitative analysis of student perceptions revealed wider benefits of the PEP beyond improved marks such as enhanced student planning and engagement with the course material.
