Presenter(s): Stephen Marquard & Greig Krull

This workshop will present and compare UCT data gathered from the 2025 South African Survey of Student Engagement (SASSE) and Lecturer Survey of Student Engagement (LSSE). This session offers a guided exploration of the survey dashboards.

The student survey, SASSE “gathers comprehensive information … relating to high-impact experiences and behaviours identified as having an influence on the teaching and learning experience”, including students’ participation in educationally purposeful activities; interaction with lecturers and their peers; the degree to which they engage with diversity; and how students perceive the university environment. The lecturer focused LSSE measures lecturers' experiences of their students’ engagement in effective educational practices and complements SASSE. Together, these surveys provide a multifaceted view of current staff and student experiences of teaching and learning at UCT.  

The SASSE and LSSE interactive dashboards allow the survey results to be explored across different dimensions, including filters for Faculty, Programme and student demographics, and how responses for some SASSE questions have changed from 2023 to 2025.

Come along to explore insights related to your own teaching context and practice, test your assumptions against survey data, and discuss how SASSE and LSSE can help support a trajectory of improving key aspects of teaching and learning at UCT.
