Engagement in College Courses |
INFORMED CONSENT FORM FOR PARTICIPANTS
Dear MSU student,
You are invited to participate in a study to investigate ways to improve student engagement in college courses. Due to your enrollment as a student at Midwestern State University (MSU), you are being invited to volunteer as a subject in an investigation of your experience. This consent form provides you with the information you will need when considering to participate in this study.
Through this study we will better understand student perspectives of classroom engagement. We hope to learn more about your overall engagement experience, why students engage or do not engage in courses, and what students believe professors can do to best increase engagement in their courses. Your expected duration of participation is 15-20 minutes. You qualify as a possible participant in this study because of your enrollment at MSU.
Any information that is obtained in connection with this study will remain confidential. To ensure confidentiality of all of your responses, no names will be collected during this study. The investigators will at no time attempt to identify you or use your name in the final report.
This study does not pose any risks to you and is completely voluntary. The decision whether to be in this study is entirely up to you. You can refuse to participate, or withdraw from the study at any time, and such a decision will not affect your grade in your course or your relationship with Midwestern State University, either now or in the future. There are no costs for participating in this study.
Feedback regarding the broad findings of this study will be made available to you. Copies of this consent form are available by request.
For dissemination purposes, the investigators may use selected responses in academic articles, books, or oral presentation at conferences or other professional proceedings.
If you have any questions about this study, please contact Dr. Suzanne Lindt, Suzanne.lindt@mwsu.edu, (940) 397-6334 or Dr. Stacia Miller, stacia.miller@mwsu.edu, (940) 397-2804.
The investigators have agreed to answer any inquiries I may have concerning the procedures and have informed me that I may contact the Midwestern State University Human Subject Review Committee by writing to: Chair, Human Subjects Review Committee, c/o Office of the Provost, Midwestern State University, 3410 Taft Blvd., Wichita Falls, TX 76308, or by calling the Provost at (940) 397-4226.
