- Summary:
-
A study was conducted at the Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) to evaluate the college's effectiveness in developing students' self-confidence and sense of individual responsibility. Two paper-and-pencil instruments were selected for use in the study: the Self Concept Scale (SCS), which measured decision making, interpersonal relations, responsibility, citizenship, and career planning; and the Affective Perceptions Inventory (API), which measured school perceptions and self-concept. The instruments were completed in class or at graduation rehearsal, with 601 students responding to the SCS and 613 completing the API. Study findings included the following: (1) analysis of SCS responses indicated that sophomores rated their level of self-concept significantly higher than freshmen, with the largest differences associated with decision making and interpersonal relations; (2) freshmen rated themselves lowest in the areas of decision making and interpersonal skills and highest in citizenship and responsibility; (3) sophomore ratings on the API scale were significantly higher on all subscales than those of freshmen; and (4) the difference between the ratings of freshmen and sophomores was greatest for students in non-General Studies programs.
