International Journal of Quantitative Research in Education (IJQRE), Vol. 5, No. 2, 2020

Abstract: Surveys of students are among the primary data sources for research in higher education. Student surveys suffer from increasing level of non-response. This paper investigated the demographic factors that have contributed to non-responses in Mapworks student survey. The study utilised t-test and logistic regression to analyse the data collected from undergraduate students. The findings showed that high school GPA, gender, campus residency, race/ethnicity were significant predictors of survey non-response, and there were significant differences between respondents and non-respondents. Implications for academic administrators were discussed.
