The AUSSE has formative links with the North American National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), a collection developed in the mid-1990s and run in over 1,200 US and Canadian higher education institutions since then. The AUSSE questionnaire (SEQ) and its items have been designed, developed and validated by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) through a process involving focus groups, cognitive interviews, pilot testing, psychometric analysis and review by educational and technical experts. Ongoing validation of the SEQ is also taking place and involves focus groups, consultations, cognitive interviews, pilot testing, expert reviews and psychometric analyses.
