Abstract

The most recent column of “New Scholars and Scholarship” focused on a scholarly exchange that emerged at a recent Symposium on Assessing Students’ Civic Outcomes hosted by the Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) Center for Service and Learning. The event was cosponsored by the National Service Learning Clearinghouse and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities’ (AASCU) American Democracy Project. Symposium participants were asked to present and analyze studies of recent studies of civic engagement in hopes of possible collaboration. This issue’s column follows through on the challenge presented by the Symposium. It compares several survey projects’ choices of measures of civic dialogue, seeking to understand the purpose of the survey, what is being measuring, examples of survey questions, strong predictors or correlations.
