| Abstract | In 1982, Ursinus College instituted a new Freshman Advising Program (FAP), involving: a greatly expanded role for the advisor; postponement of the declaration of major; greater emphasis on student-centered developmental advising; a focus on the transition needs of freshmen; a focus on the problem of false starts and student encounters with failure; and a focus on prevention by detecting individual needs early and meeting them promptly and appropriately. An Adviser Effectiveness Questionnaire was developed and administered to freshmen in 1981 (the last class advised under the old system), 1985 and 1988. Subsamples of the data including all freshman advisors were analyzed. Statistically significant differences between the 1985 and 1988 groups were found on 15 of the 16 individual items and on the General Advising Effectiveness Scale. On all separate measures of satisfaction, students in the 1988 group scored in the more satisfied direction than those in the 1985 group. Comparisons of means revealed only two statistically significant differences between the 1988 and 1991 groups, suggesting that generally the improvement in satisfaction with advising and overall gains in advising effectiveness have been maintained. Student gains in satisfaction across the personal, career, academic and study skills areas of advising were associated with increased overall happiness with the college. Data are presented in two tables. (KM) |
