1 Introduction The sixth component of OSA contains the questions for the Social and Behavioral Sciences. The first question asks if students took their Social and Behavioral Sciences course as a core requirement at TTU. The following pie chart shows that out of the 704 participants, 496 (i.e., 70.45%) indicated that they took their Social and Behavioral Sciences course for core curriculum credit at TTU and 208 (i.e., 29.55%) indicated that they took it elsewhere. The system stores some data for each of the participants and so it was possible to identify the respondents who major in Social and Behavioral Sciences. The majors that were identified and classified as Social and Behavioral Sciences majors are ANTH, BECO, CFAS, COMS, ECO, ESS, GEOG, HDFS, HLTH, IECO, MCOM, POLS, PSY, Page 1 of 23

2 SOC, and SW. There were a total of 140 Social and Behavioral Sciences majors in the sample. These participants represent the so-called experts. Results The student learning outcomes for the Social and Behavioral Sciences are: - To identify and critique alternative explanations for claims about social issues and human behavior. - To recognize the appropriate methods, technologies, and data that social and behavioral scientists use to investigate the human condition. - To identify and appreciate differences and commonalities between cultures. - To demonstrate knowledge of the origins and evolution of U.S. and Texas political systems. The first student learning outcome aligns well with questions 1, 4, and 5. The second learning outcome aligns well with questions 2, 3, and 4. The third learning outcome does not clearly align with any of the assessment questions. The fourth learning outcome aligns well with question 6 through 10. The Social and Behavioral Sciences portion of the assessment contains ten knowledge questions. These are shown below as a screenshot from the actual instrument. For analysis purposes, the answers were coded from 1 to 4 in the order they appear on the actual instrument. Page 2 of 23

6 Social and Behavioral Sciences 1: The chart below shows the distributions of answers for the first question for participants who took their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU (bottom) and participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement elsewhere (top). Answer 3 is the correct choice. It can be seen that just over half of both groups chose the correct answer. Overall, a few more people in the TTU group chose the correct answer as compared to the Else group (61.49% versus 55.29%). This difference is not statistically significant. Please see attachment A for details. This means that students who take their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU do not do significantly better with this question than the students who take their Social and Behavioral Sciences class elsewhere. Page 6 of 23

7 Social and Behavioral Sciences 2: The chart below shows the distributions of answers for the second question for participants who took their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU (bottom) and participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement elsewhere (top). Answer 1 is the correct choice. It can be seen that over two thirds of both groups chose the correct answer. Overall, more people in the TTU group chose the correct answer as compared to the Else group (79.64% versus65.38%). This difference is statistically significant. Please see attachment A for details. This means that students who take their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU do significantly better with this question than the students who take their Social and Behavioral Sciences class elsewhere. Page 7 of 23

8 Social and Behavioral Sciences 3: The chart below shows the distributions of answers for the third question for participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement at TTU (bottom) and participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement elsewhere (top). Answer 2 is the correct choice. It can be seen that less than half of both groups chose the correct answer. Overall, more people in the TTU group chose the correct answer as compared to the Else group (42.94% versus 34.13%). This difference is statistically significant. Please see attachment A for details. This means that students who take their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement at TTU do significantly better with this question than the students who take their the Behavioral and Social Sciences class elsewhere. Page 8 of 23

9 Social and Behavioral Sciences 4: The chart below shows the distributions of answers for the fourth question for participants who took their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU (bottom) and participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement elsewhere (top). Answer 4 is the correct choice. It can be seen that only a few in both groups chose the correct answer; this question may be too difficult or misleading to make it a good discriminator of knowledge in the Social and Behavioral Sciences. Overall, a few more people in the Else group chose the correct answer as compared to the TTU group (10.10% versus 8.27%). This difference is not statistically significant. Please see attachment A for details. This means that students who take their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU do not do significantly better with this question than the students who take their Social and Behavioral Sciences class elsewhere. Page 9 of 23

10 Social and Behavioral Sciences 5: The chart below shows the distributions of answers for the fifth question for participants who took their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU (bottom) and participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement elsewhere (top). Answer 3 is the correct choice. It can be seen that less than half of both groups chose the correct answer. Overall, a few more people in the TTU group chose the correct answer as compared to the Else group (40.52% versus 38.46%). This difference is not statistically significant. Please see attachment A for details. This means that students who take their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU do not do significantly better with this question than the students who take their Social and Behavioral Sciences class elsewhere. Page 10 of 23

11 Social and Behavioral Sciences 6: The chart below shows the distributions of answers for the sixth question for participants who took their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU (bottom) and participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement elsewhere (top). Answer 1 is the correct choice. It can be seen that just over half of both groups chose the correct answer. Overall, a few more people in the TTU group chose the correct answer as compared to the Else group (54.84% versus 53.85%). This difference is not statistically significant. Please see attachment A for details. This means that students who take their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU do not do significantly better with this question than the students who take their Social and Behavioral Sciences class elsewhere. Page 11 of 23

12 Social and Behavioral Sciences 7: The chart below shows the distributions of answers for the seventh question for participants who took their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU (bottom) and participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement elsewhere (top). Answer 2 is the correct choice. It can be seen that less than a third of both groups chose the correct answer. Overall, a few more people in the Else group chose the correct answer as compared to the TTU group (29.81% versus 28.02%). This difference is not statistically significant. Please see attachment A for details. This means that students who take their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU do not do significantly better with this question than the students who take their Social and Behavioral Sciences class elsewhere. Page 12 of 23

13 Social and Behavioral Sciences 8: The chart below shows the distributions of answers for the eighth question for participants who took their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU (bottom) and participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement elsewhere (top). Answer 1 is the correct choice. It can be seen that around half of both groups chose the correct answer. Overall, a few more people in the TTU group chose the correct answer as compared to the Else group (54.23% versus 49.52%). This difference is not statistically significant. Please see attachment A for details. This means that students who take their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU do not do significantly better with this question than the students who take their Social and Behavioral Sciences class elsewhere. Page 13 of 23

14 Social and Behavioral Sciences 9: The chart below shows the distributions of answers for the ninth question for participants who took their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU (bottom) and participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement elsewhere (top). Answer 2 is the correct choice. It can be seen that a large majority of both groups chose the correct answer, which may make this question to be too easy to be a good discriminator of Social and Behavioral Sciences knowledge. Overall, more people in the TTU group chose the correct answer as compared to the Else group (98.59% versus 95.67%). This difference is statistically significant. Please see attachment A for details. This means that students who take their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU do significantly better with this question than the students who take their Social and Behavioral Sciences class elsewhere. Page 14 of 23

15 Social and Behavioral Sciences 10: The chart below shows the distributions of answers for the tenth question for participants who took their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU (bottom) and participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement elsewhere (top). Answer 1 is the correct choice. It can be seen that just over half of both groups chose the correct answer. Overall, a few more people in the TTU group chose the correct answer as compared to the Else group (61.49% versus 56.73%). This difference is not statistically significant. Please see attachment A for details. This means that students who take their class for the Social and Behavioral Sciences core requirement at TTU do not do significantly better with this question than the students who take their Social and Behavioral Sciences class elsewhere. Page 15 of 23

16 Social and Behavioral Sciences Average: The table below compares the differences between TTU and Else when the results for all the questions are averaged (e.g., if a student got 8 out of the 10 questions correct, his score will be 8/10 =.80). The mean is higher for students who took their core requirement for the Social and Behavioral Sciences at TTU. This difference is statistically significant. Core Elsewhere Core at TTU Core Area N Mean stdev N mean stdev p- value Social/Behavioral S The chart below shows the distributions of the average scores for participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement at TTU (bottom) and participants who took their class for the Behavioral and Social Sciences core requirement core requirement elsewhere (top). The distributions are similar, but it looks like the Else group centers closer to 4 out of 10 correct answers and TTU group centers closer to 5 out of 10 correct answers. Page 16 of 23

17 The chart below shows the distributions of the average scores for those participants who are majoring in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (bottom) and participants who are not majoring in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (top). A larger percentage of the Behavioral and Social Sciences majors answered more than half of the questions correctly, while the non-majors seem to center at about 5 out of 10 correct answers. Overall, the majors have a slightly higher average than the non-majors (54% vs. 51%). This difference is not statistically significant at the.05 level. Please see attachment B for details. This means that we cannot conclude that Behavioral and Social Sciences majors perform better than non-majors on the assessment. The overall average for the Behavioral and Social Sciences questions does not significantly correlate with the total transfer credits, total credits earned, or the age of participants. The overall average for the Behavioral and Social Sciences questions does significantly correlate with participants GPA (see attachment C). There is a statistically significant difference between the average overall performance of the female and male participants (see attachment D). Male students perform better on this measure than female students (mean of 54% versus 50%). Page 17 of 23

18 Below is a chart showing the distribution of averages for the female participants (top) and the male participants (bottom). It appears that there are few more male participants answering with higher scores that may pull the male average up. Comparison: 2008 vs In the 2008 assessment the TTU performed practically the same as the Else group. The Social Sciences and Behavioral Sciences were kept separate in the 2008 analysis and TTU did about the same as the Else group in both sections (60.48% vs % in the Social Sciences and 43.3% vs. 41.6% in the Behavioral Sciences). In the 2009 assessment, there was a statistically significant difference between the performance of the two groups with the TTU group doing better than the Else group (53.0% vs. 49.0%). Page 18 of 23

19 Limitations It is difficult to measure the breadth of knowledge taught in the Social and Behavioral Sciences with ten questions. Many of the questions seem to have challenged the participant. As mentioned in the results, a couple of the questions may have been too simple or too complicated to be a good discriminator of Social and Behavioral Science knowledge. Without more information about the courses taken elsewhere, it is difficult to clarify what any differences between the TTU group and the Else group might mean. Any differences may be the result of what type of Social and Behavioral Sciences class was taken and what the emphasis of that class was. Page 19 of 23
