Students respond positively to an instructor collecting and sharing aggregated class demographic data from a survey in a high-enrollment physiology course

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study examined undergraduate student perceptions of a high-enrollment physiology instructor collecting student demographics and sharing aggregated results to promote course inclusion. Most students perceived the collection and sharing positively, with women and nonbinary students, as well as liberal students, perceiving greater benefits from the data collection than their counterparts. Our results indicate that collecting and sharing in aggregate student demographics may be an effective way to enhance student-instructor relationships in high-enrollment science courses.
