QUALITI, IIPORIAICB, PROVISIONS, AND EFFECTIVENESS OF STUDENT PERSOIIBL SERVICES A! KING FAISAL UNIVERSITY. SAUDI ARABIA BY Khalid Abdulrahman Alaaider A DISSBRIAIION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Higher Education Administration) Department of Educational Administration College of Education February 1986 ABSTRACT A STUDY OF QUALITY, IHPORTANCE, PROVISIONS, AND EFFECTIVENESS OF STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES AT KING PAISAL UNIVERSITY, SAUDI ARABIA BY Khalid Abdulrahman Alaaider The major purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of students, student personnel staff, and faculty regarding their views of the student personnel services at King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. The minor purpose of this study was to evaluate the current student personnel program and to determine any needed changes and/or improvement. The total sample of 298 respondents consisted of 243 students, 42 faculty and 13 student personnel staff. A questionnaire prepared by the researcher was used to collect the needed data. The survey instrument was designed to obtain demographic data, perceptions of overall quality, importance, provisions, and effectiveness of student personnel services. Analysis of variance and Tukey's test were used to examine the differences between student subgroups means of overall quality, importance, and effectiveness of student personnel services. Chi-square test was used to examine the relationship between the perceptions of provision and respondent's characteristics for each of the studied services. The study revealed that the overall quality of student personnel services at King Faisal University was "fairly good'. The ratings of overall importance of all services were high among students, faculty members, and staff. However, the overall effectiveness of the services was rated as low. The results also indicated that the students' ratings of overall quality, importance, and effectiveness were significantly lower than those of the faculty members and staff. As for the awareness of the provisions of some selected student personnel services, the results indicated that two-thirds of the services were perceived as either not available or uncertain of their provisions. This study also revealed that the status of respondent and student's place of residence were in the most influential factors compared to student's gender or academic level in explaining the variability of perceptions regarding student personnel services. This study also revealed that among all services, admission and registration, orientation, and food services received the highest ratings of importance. Housing, health and food services received relatively higher ratings in effectiveness, while counseling and guidance services received the lowest ratings. Female, on-campus, and senior level students seemed to have more negative reactions toward student personnel services than male, off-campus, sophomore and junior level students. DEDICATION To the memory of my beloved mother (may Allah rest her soul in peace under his mercy), Maryam Saleh, who sacrificed her welfare to raising her children and who was, after Allah, always a powerhouse of strength for me. Her care, encouragement, strong support and prayers were the light that guided me to the right path. To the memory of my father (may Almighty Allah rest his soul in peace), Abdulrahman Alaaider, whose wishes and determination to educate me would have been fulfilled by accomplishment of this study. 11 ACKNOWLEDGBHBNTS The pursuit of a doctoral degree from its very outset to the stage of reporting of research acceptable as a doctoral dissertation involves a great deal of work, people and time.

The undisputed contribution it renders to the development of the students in colleges and universities makes it a necessary component in the educational process and in the experience of college education. Lloyd-Jones and Smith caution that: The personnel program should not be thought of as a 'fifth wheel' of education. It is an integral part of higher education, bringing to bear the findings of psychology, biology, and sociology to help higher education actually realize its objectives by adapting them to the needs, capacities, abilities, and potentialities of each student (Lloyd-Jones and Smith, p. 14). Echelberry wrote in an "Editorial Comment" in the Win as early as 1949. "There is no need in these days to argue that the provision of a good student personnel program is one of the primary obligations of the college" (Echelberry, 1949:106). Of primary concern to the student personnel program is the furnishing of a collegiate environment that assists students' behavioral development, whether in groups or individually. The college's job is not just the training of the mind, with experience left for the real world outside the university, nor are student personnel services 2 only intended to deliver the students to the classroom in optimum condition for learning and to facilitate the work of instructors with students in the classroom to effectively train the students' intellectual capacity. Rather, "College is an experience both individual and social, it is intellectual, physical, and emotional, spiritual. It is a time for the maturation of personality" (Wriston, 1946:183-193). The student personnel program's interest is in the growth of the "whole personality" of every student. In the past, college education, especially that which embraces the German university tradition, was concerned with the development of intellectual aspects alone. Today, the objectives of higher education institutions have broadened greatly. According to Mueller (1961), "the objectives include the development of the whole person-- socially, emotionally, spiritually, physically, as well as intellectually" (Mueller, 1961:60). This extended range of objectives makes it difficult for faculty members to carry out all the needed educational activities exemplified by both academic and outside-of—classroom activities. Therefore, the provision of certain student personnel services on campuses has become an obligation of higher education institutions. The creation and importance of the student personnel program for college student education is 3 justified on the grounds that education does not occur only in the classroom (Johnson, 1970:7). A well organized student personnel program, based on a sound and well understood philosophy and objectives regarding students in higher education, is an indispensable step in successfully meeting the students' varied needs, interests, desires, and facilitating their full, well rounded, and balanced personal development. The American Council on Education published the first formal statement of the philosophy of student personnel administration in 1937, which has come to be known as the Wigs. This philosophy adapted the whole person concept in educating the student—- "including social relationships, physical, intellectual capacity, emotional condition, vocational aptitudes and skills, economic resources, moral and religious values and aesthetic appreciations" (Owens, 1982). A revised version of this statement was issued in 1949 with four philosophical assumptions underpinning the council's attitude: (1) the individual student must be considered as a whole, (2) the student is a unique person and should be treated as such (differences exist among individuals), (3) the total environment of the student is educational and must be used to achieve his or her full development, and 4 (4) the major responsibility for a student's personal and social development rests with the student and his or her personal resources. (Ibid) The commitment of the student personnel profession to the spirit of this point of view has resulted in the initiation of varied services and activities which are dedicated to helping the ever growing body of American college students. The great explosion of college enrollments since the 19608, the heterogeneity of the student population, economic growth, the knowledge expansion which had led to greater specialization, and the complexity of changing life styles in the United States, are but a few trends that have contributed to the expansion of and the significant position student personnel divisions hold (Johnson, 1970:7). In almost all higher education institutions, fundamental efforts on the part of student personnel administrators and other members of the campus community are undertaken to assist students collectively and individually to get the maximum benefit from the educational opportunities available in their colleges. A well trained staff, a sufficient number of services, and a systematic assessment of existing student personnel programs are essential ingredients in providing students with effective, up-to-date, and relevant programs. student affairs workers and professionals in the U.S. colleges and universities have profound responsibility for promoting 5 well-rounded student development. The same responsibility exists to a more limited degree, in the higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia. W The Saudi Arabian colleges and universities are experiencing the circumstances now that American colleges and universities went through in the 19608. Although the concept of higher education in Saudi Arabia is a relatively new phenomenon, the number and scope of colleges and universities has grown rapidly since the first modern university was established in 1957. Now there are seven universities, nine women's colleges, a number of junior colleges, and other colleges designated for military— related purposes (WWW: WW. Issue:5). During the last decade, institutions of higher education in Saudi Arabia have witnessed enrollment growth that increased college enrollments from 6,442 students in 1969/70 to 47,990 in 1980, about a seven-fold increase in ten years (WW3. p- 31). Enrollment was projected to reach 69,000 by mid-1985, but exceeded 75,000 during the first part of 1984 (Alzlililih: 1984:28). One of the youngest Saudi universities, King Faisal University (KFU), was opened in 1975, in Alahsa, with a branch campus at Dammam City in 6 Eastern province of Saudi Arabia. Like the other institutions of higher education in Saudi Arabia, KFU has witnessed fast growth in student enrollments, and in curricular offerings. Its first enrollment class in 1975 comprised 170 students. By January 1985, its student body included 3,209 students (according to registration rosters for 1985). This increasing number of students at KFU has brought more heterogeneity in the student population (12.16% are foreign students). Students from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds have brought with them diversified needs, interests, problems, and various characteristics (anng§1_§gn§u§_3gpgrt, 1982). Thus, the student's life has become complex and a myriad of demands and pressures have accumulated on the shoulders of the student affairs staff. The growth, along with the task of achieving two of KFU's goals (training youths in suitable fields of study to provide well-prepared manpower for national development, and developing individuals for good and useful citizenship) justify the need for effective and sound student personnel services at King Faisal University (Ibid, p. 13). It is no longer sufficient, as Jackson puts it: To educate for scholarship or train for a career. Education must seek to enhance personal development and a life philosophy that provides an understanding of and appreciation for as well as competence in, the shaping of the physical and social world we inhabit. . . . it follows that 7 the role of the student affairs in colleges and universities is to systematically influence the campus environment in ways which promote human growth. (Jackson, 1977:11) Student development is intended to help students in examining their lives, to become more in command of life and to progress toward self-direction (Ibid, p. 11). According to Prince and Miller, self—determination and self-direction best result when both cognitive and affective development are considered essential to the educational missions of post-secondary education (Prince and Miller, 1974). In the last few years, administrators and the deans of student affairs in the Saudi universities--including KFU-- have come to recognize the vital importance of student personnel services in their institutions. They have endorsed six symposia in which they have discussed various aspects of existing student personnel programs in the seven universities and other separate colleges. While these officials have recommended reforms for the development and improvement of existing programs, various student personnel services are still needed in order to satisfy the needs and demands of all students. These needs differ from institution to institution, and, thus, a comprehensive, local assessment is necessary in order to answer the questions posed by diverse circumstances. Until a thorough and systematic evaluation and assessment of the present 8 programs and a study of the actual needs is made, these services will not be as effective or adequate as they should be (Rackham, 1951:692). Robinson in (1962) stated that "evaluation of present programs provides the only sound basis for the program modification which probably will become necessary as student enrollments increase. At any rate, evaluation must lay the groundwork for future planning" (Robinson, 1962:21). Rackham, (1951) urged, "Student personnel workers should recognize the fact that any student personnel services program should be subjected periodically to a thorough inventory so that needed adjustments can be identified and attended to" (Rackham, 1951i691). One way to achieve a meaningful evaluation is through measuring the attitudes of the college community toward the existing program (American Council on Education, p. 22) or specifically, "after a careful study of the opinions of the administrators, students, and faculty" (Glennen, 1965:14). An extensive survey of the literature related to student personnel services at KFU by the investigator revealed that there has never been a comprehensive investigation of student affairs services on the KFU campus. Hence, it is the intention of this researcher to assess and evaluate the present student services at KFU in Saudi Arabia and to identify any personnel modifications or additional services 9 needed. This was done through obtaining the perceptions of student personnel services held by students, faculty members, and student affairs staff at King Faisal University during the first term of the academic year 1984-1985. u tud The primary purpose in conducting this investigation is to assess the perceptions of students, student affairs staff, and faculty members in regard to student personnel services at KFU. A subsidiary aim is to utilize the data derived from these three groups to evaluate the current student personnel programs and to determine any needed changes and/or improvements. t en rob e The problem of this study was to identify, analyze, and compare the perceptions of KFU students, faculty and student affairs staff regarding student personnel services in order to assess and evaluate the present student affairs program at King Faisal University. After a considered (1) examination of literature related to the field of student personnel services (Chapter Two); (2) an extensive review of various formal publications pertaining to the student affairs program at KFU, such as the student Affairs Deanship Directory and Admissions and Registration 10 Directory; and (3) a survey of related studies and instruments, the following student personnel services were selected for study: Admissions, Records and Registration; Orientation Services; Housing Services; Counseling Services; Food Services; Financial Aid Services; Placement Services; International Student Services; Transportation; Parking and Traffic Services; Student Conduct Services; Special Services; and Student Activities, which encompass social, cultural, artistic, leisure and sports activities; Health Services; and academic advising. Specifically, the study is designed to answer the following questions. We 1. What is the overall quality of student services at KFU as perceived by students, faculty, and student affairs staff? 2. To what extent are student personnel services perceived as important for college student education at KFU by students, faculty, and student affairs staff, by male and female students, by on-campus and off-campus students, and by sophomores, juniors and seniors? 3. To what extent are student personnel services performed at KFU perceived as effective by students, faculty, and student personnel staff? 4. What differences are there in the perceptions regarding the provision of the student personnel services by students, faculty, and student affairs staff? by male and female students? by on-campus and off—campus students? and by sophomores, juniors, and seniors? In order to compare and analyze the perceptions of the three groups of people at KFU, namely students, 11 student personnel staff, and faculty regarding the quality, importance, provisions, and effectiveness of the student personnel program at KFU, four major hypotheses and nine minor hypotheses were formulated. B§§£§££h_3229§h£§§§ H01 There will be no significant differences between the perceptions of students, student personnel staff, and faculty members regarding the importance of the student personnel services at KFU. 302 There will be no significant differences between .the perceptions of students, student personnel administrators, and faculty members regarding the level of effectiveness of student personnel services provided at KFU. 803 There will be no significant differences between the type of the respondent (students or student personnel staff or faculty member) and their perceived awareness of the provisions of student personnel services at KFU in Saudi Arabia. H 4 There will be no significant differences between the perceptions of students, student personnel staff, and faculty members concerning the overall quality of student personnel services at KFU. The researcher also expected variations in the perceptions of the student subgroups according to the students' gender, academic level, and place of residence, in regard to the importance, provisions, and effectiveness of student personnel services on this campus. Male students do not have common experiences with female students at KFU. Hence, their perceptions are likely to differ. Students residing on-campus are affected more by 12 the student personnel services than the students staying off-campus; a factor which is likely to have an influence on their perceptions. It may also be interesting to investigate the effect of the academic level of the students on their perceptions regarding importance, provisions, and effectiveness of student personnel services at KFU. To investigate the perceptions of these student subgroups and determine whether their perceptions differ when compared on the basis of these classifications, the investigator considered the following nine subhypotheses: c t s 805 There will be no significant differences in perceptions of the importance of the student services at KFU between male and female students. HOG There will be no significant differences in the perceptions of effectiveness of the student personnel services at KFU between male and female students. 807 There will be no significant differences between the type of respondent (as being a male student or a female student) and their perceptions of the provision of student personnel services at KFU. 808 There will be no significant differences in the perceptions of the importance of student personnel services at KFU and students living off campus. 809 There will be no significant differences in the perceptions of the effectiveness of the student personnel services at KFU between students living on campus and students living off campus. H010 There will be no significant differences between those students living on campus and those 13 students living off-campus in their perceptions of the provision of student personnel services at KFU. Roll There will be no significant differences in perceptions of the importance of student personnel services to college education at KFU between sophomores, juniors, and seniors. 8012 There will be I") significant differences in perceptions of the effectiveness of student personnel services at KFU between sophomores, juniors, and seniors. 8013 There will be no significant differences between the type of respondent (sophomore, junior, or senior) and their perceptions of the provision of student personnel services at KFU. W Smith and Lloyd—Jones contend that ". . . in any worthwhile undertaking, evaluation is a vital, essential part of the enterprise." (Lloyd-Jones & Smith, 1954:324) The consensus among educators, student affairs professionals and student personnel service practitioners regarding the importance of evaluating student affairs programs is evident in the literature of the student personnel field. Numerous studies have been undertaken in U.S. institutions of higher education to examine the perceptions of those who make up the university and the college c0mmunity toward student personnel services. These studies have involved students, faculty, student affairs staff and administrators. 14 An exhaustive survey of the literature related to student personnel programs in general and on Saudi university campuses in particular has revealed that no comprehensive study has been done to measure and compare the perceptions and attitudes of students, student affairs staff, and faculty members regarding student personnel services at'KFU. As mentioned earlier, the trend at KFU is toward a larger and more heterogeneous student body. Such a student body requires varied services to meet the diverse needs of students with varying backgrounds, abilities, and interests. The assessment and exploration of the present student personnel programs at KFU through determination and analysis of its students', faculty members', and student affairs staff members' perceptions of student personnel services may provide decision-makers with information concerning the program's weaknesses and strengths, needed changes and various alternatives upon which to make sound future decisions. To determine needed program modification for improvement it is crucial, as Delworth and his associates (1981) pointed out, to assess and evaluate the program at an early stage of its development (p. 234). Elihu Carranze (1978) pointed out that: Timely evaluation procedures can generate information which will assist educational planners to determine what goals, policies, strategies, or programs should be changed, when 15 they should be changed, and, perhaps, why they should be changed. In a rapidly changing society, the needs of our student/client constituencies are subject to constant alteration, as is our ability to meet those needs. Consequently, student services planners must constantly ask the "if" questions. (Carranza, p. 25) Moreover, the information derived from this study may be of value to student personnel staff at KFU and other Saudi universities. It may also be helpful to students in this field and other researchers. Leonard Baird puts it this way: A high school senior choosing colleges would like to know what they are really like. A college administrator would like to know how students and faculty feel about his college's programs and facilities so that he can make the needed changes. A student personnel worker who has organized an experimental living group program in the dormitories would like to know if the college experiences of the students in his group are different from those of most students. A counselor working with students who are potential dropouts would like to know why these students feel turned off by the college. A college president who has brought in many reforms at his college would like to know if his reforms have changed the social and intellectual atmospheres of his colleges. Each of these people needs to know about the college community and the interplay among its people, policies, and facilities. Their purposes differ, of course, but their basic need for reliable, accurate information is the same. (Baird, 1973:3) Another point in the significance of this study is that its timing is right. About ten years have elapsed since King Faisal University was established in 1975 and 16 many changes have taken place. Curriculum offerings have expanded, the student population has increased and the number of colleges have doubled. On a national and international level, the student personnel programs in Saudi universities and colleges have captured the attention of educators and leaders in the profession. The fifth forum for student affairs deanships in Saudi Arabia con- cluded its five-day meeting with recommendations concerning improvement of existing student services and activities that emphasized the value of conducting scientific research into these activities and questions of how to attract student participation in them (Al;ggzi;ah, 1984z9). It is the belief of this investigator that evaluation of the current student services program at KFU is a needed step at this time to inform those concerned with student development about any problem areas and help them make modifications or select alternative courses of action which conform to the mission of this university and its students' objectives. Specifically, this investigation will be valuable to the student affairs administration at KFU to provide detailed information about the opinions of students, student affairs staff and faculty members as to (1) the degree of the importance of student personnel services to college student education, (2) the respondents' awareness 17 of specific selected services, (3) the perceived effect- iveness of these services as provided at KFU and (4) recommendations, if any, to improve the program. Information from this investigation may be of value to the whole field of student personnel services in Saudi Arabia because it will expose people in university settings to various types of services and stimulate their curiosity regarding the possibility of improvement and change in student services. Furthermore, the field of student personnel services was almost completely unknown in many colleges and universities in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa two decades ago (Gibson, 1965:6). Accordingly, the body of the knowledge related to student affairs services in these areas is very sparse. Saudi Arabia is one of the Asian countries where not only student personnel services are a new trend in higher education institutions, but higher education itself is a relatively new pheno- menon. Therefore, information regarding student personnel services in Saudi universities in general, and KFU in particular, is almost nonexistent. This study will contribute to the development of that body of knowledge. W studgg; Personnel Sergicgs are those services that make up a comprehensive student personnel program at any university to foster the development of the whole student. l8 Studgng Affairs sgryicgs are used interchangeably in this study with the term "student personnel services".

As such, the results of this study may be applied only to the three groups selected for this study, the results are limited by the length of the data instrument, and by the fact that it was conducted in Saudi Arabia. The study 19 was intended to determine the overall quality, importance, provisions, and effectivenss of student personnel services at KFU, and therefore, the feasibility of generalizing the results to other institutions is limited. 'on tud This study was organized into the following chapters. Chapter One contains the introduction and background information, purpose of the study, statement of the problem including the research questions and the null hypotheses, significance of the study, definition of terms used in the investigation and limitations of the study. Background information related to the setting of this study will be presented in Chapter Two. It will also include a brief examination of Saudi Arabian Higher Education, of KFU's foundations and historical development, development of KFU, its administrative and its student personnel services program. Chapter Three is devoted to the review of related literature. This chapter is divided into several sections: (1) the development and importance of student personnel services to higher education; (2) the importance of evaluating student personnel services; (3) use of student, faculty and student personnel staff perceptions in evaluating student personnel services; pioneer studies; and 20 4) a review of studies conducted to study the perceptions of these three groups toward student personnel services. Chapter Four includes a methodological discussion on the data collection and analysis procedures utilized in this study. Population identification and sample selection, construction of the instrument to be used for data collection, the data collection process and treatment and analysis of the data is described in this chapter. Chapter Five is dedicated to a presentation of the analysis and interpretation of the collected data. A summary of the study findings, conclusions and recommendations is presented in Chapter 6. CHAPTER II BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON IN! SETTING 0! THE STUD! This chapter is a presentation of a brief discussion of the foundations and historical development of higher education in Saudi Arabia, and the development of KFU including a cursory review of student personnel services on its campus. Promoting real development of human beings has always been the main purpose of higher education institutions' existence both in the developed and the developing nations. The objectives of a university or a college may differ from generation to generation and from one nation to another, but basically the goal remains - the development and welfare of mankind. The development and welfare of human beings may be defined differently according to the philosophy, culture, tradition, and beliefs of a society. As an Arab, Moslem Country, Saudi Arabia derived its educational goals from Islamic teachings, culture, traditions and values. Wm sums up the purpose and general objectives of education by stating that: The purpose of education is to have the student understand Islam in a correct comprehensive manner, to plant and spread the Islamic creed, to furnish the student with the valued, teachings 21 22 and ideals of Islam, to equip him with the various skills and knowledge, to develop his conduct in constructive directions, to develop the society economically, socially, and culturally, and to prepare the individual to become a useful member in the building of his community. (Article 28: 1974, p. 10) In light of the declared general objective of education in Saudi Arabia, higher education is defined by the educational policy in the Saudi Arabian Kingdom as: The stage of academic specialization, in all its forms and at all its levels, for competent and gifted students, in order to develop their talents and fulfill the various present and future needs of the society in compliance with useful progress which achieves the objectives of the nation and its noble goals. (Article 28, 1974, p. 21) However, the seven cardinal objectives of higher education in Saudi Arabia are: (1) Developing loyalty to God and providing the student further w1;h_1§13m19 education which makes him feel responsible for his Islamic nation before God and put his practical and scientific capacities into fruitful and useful action. a) Preparing competent and highly intellectually and scientifically qualified citizens to perform their duty in the service of their country and the progress of their nation in the light of sound Islamic principles and ideology. (3) Providing gifted students with the opportunity to continue higher education in all the fields of academic specialization. (4) Performing a positive role in the field of scientific research which contributes to world progress in arts, sciences and inventions, and finding sound solutions for 23 the requirement of developed life and technological trends. (5) Promoting writing and scientific production in what brings sciences into the service of the Islamic thought and enables the country to perform its leadership role in building human civilization on Islam's genuine principles that steer mankind to righteousness and spare humanity material and atheistic deviations. (6) Translating science and useful arts of knowledge to the language of Qoran and enriching the Arabic language with new expressions to fill the need of Arabicization, and putting knowledge at the disposal of the largest number of citizens. (7) Offering training services and reorientation courses to enable graduates who are already working to keep pace with new developments. (Articles 109-115, p. 21-22) It is clear, therefore, that according to these objectives, the purpose of higher education is twofold: religious orientation for understanding Islam and training judges and teachers and to fulfill the training of qualified manpower. MW: Wrath The seeds of the development of higher education in the land now called Saudi Arabia can be attributed to a great system of higher education tradition initiated during the early days of the rise of Islamic civilization in the seventh century. The first universities in the world can 24 be said to have been established by the Moslems in the Arab World and in European Spain. Massialas and Jarrar stated that: The Arab States are the inheritors of a higher education tradition that dates back to the seventh century and the rise of Islam, when College-Mosques started to emerge as main centers for religious and academic higher studies. One of the earliest of these centers that gained prominence was AL-Qurawiyin Islamic Institute, which was founded in a mosque at Fez, Morocco, in 859. AL-Azhar, founded in 970 at Cairo, became an institute of higher education in 988. AL-Azhar can thus claim to be the oldest university in the world today. (Massialas and Jarrar, 1983, p. 192) In their book WW. Wilds and Lottich stated: The Saracens [the Moslems Easterners] in Spain made similar expenditures of wealth to establish universities. Those at Cordova, Seville, Toledo, and Salamanca became world famous. .. . The greatest of the universities, that at Cordova, had fifteen separate departments, each special— izing in a different field of learning and had beautiful buildings with the most complete equipment money could buy. They continue to point out that: These Moorish universities served as models for some of the best features of the new Christian universities springing up in Europe. Wilds and Lottich described these institutions as: The universities, which arose in all the chief Moorish cities of Spain, were colleges in the literal sense; for students and professors shared accommodations. Special departments, or schools, were created for the various sciences. There were medical schools with chemical laboratories, and finely equipped hospitals for clinical instruction. There were schools of astronomy 25 which offered the use of observatories equipped with the most costly and most accurate instrument that were constructed. Other schools specialized in mathematics, agriculture, music, navigation, physics, or some other branch of learning. The doors of these universities were open to all, rich or poor, native or foreign; and altruistic men often provided financial aid for those students who needed it. (Wilds and Lottich, 1936, This rich Islamic cultural and educational climate that spread over the world in the medieval age made it possible for the contemporary world to preserve humankind civilization and to progressively advance in every aspect of life. As an inheritor of such a great system, Saudi Arabia recognized the importance of establishing a higher education system that responds to the needs of her people in their struggle to develop economically, socially, and culturally. The interest in initiating university education in Saudi Arabia can be traced back to the very early days of the establishment of the Saudi Arabian Kingdom (Directorate General for the Development of Higher Education, 1981, p. 19). Specifically, higher education, as a stage within the ladder of the Saudi educational system was first mentioned in the decree which was issued to form a council for education in the Kingdom in 1346 A.H. (1927 A.D.) (Directorate General for the Development of Higher Education, 1980, p. 19). 26 Nevertheless, no action was taken to establish a university or a college at that time because there was neither an urgent demand for higher education nor the financial capacity to provide it. As time went by, a dire need for well-qualified and skilled citizens became apparent. By 1928, it started to send a number of its qualified youths abroad to complete their college education. This action is considered by some to be the beginning of higher education in Saudi Arabia. Hibshy (1967) points out that: Higher education in Saudi Arabia started by sending some of the holders of secondary education certificates abroad for further training. This had been the only way of providing higher education till 1949-1950 when the first faculty of Shariah was established by the Directorate General of Education. This institution was followed in 1952 by the Teacher's College. (Hibshy, 1967, p. 197) In 1938, the oil was discovered and new horizons were opened up to the Saudis. The government recognized the need for trained administrators and technicians to develop its resources. Therefore, it decided to initiate higher education institutions on its soil in order to meet a two- fold purpose. First, to satisfy the large-scale demand for civic and technical manpower and secondly, to preserve its culture, values, tradition, and to democratize higher education by making it available to all interested citizens. 27 The College of Sharia and Islamic Studies was the pioneer institution of higher learning to be opened in the Holy City of Mecca, in Saudi Arabia in 1949-50 (King Abdulaziz University Catalog, 1979-1980, p. 23). This college is considered by many to be the beginning of modern higher education in this country. Its major purpose was to train Moslem judges and teachers, especially, for Islamic and Arabic language. Teachers college, the second college, was initiated in Mecca in 1952. Its main function was to supply the country with a sufficient number of secondary teachers in various disciplines. However, since the latter suffered from a small enrollment, it was decided to shut it down in 1959 (Hammad, 1973, p. 131). In 1961 a college of education was chartered in Mecca to replace the closed Teachers College. This action was seen as a step forward to the improvement of the quality of instruction and teachers. During the fifties, and continuing today, the country has experienced a rapid change, economically, socially, and intellectually. A modern state was emerging which demanded well-trained administrators, engineers, physicians, judges, technicians, and teachers. The existing institutions at that time were not able to fulfill the ambition of the country, not to mention the improving 28 financial position of Saudi Arabia as a result of the increase in oil revenues. In short, these circumstances provided a suitable climate and fertile soil for the development of higher education in this country. In fact, higher education is seen as a vital ingredient in Saudi Arabia's development (W, Vol. 3, No. 5, May 1965, p. 1). So, the creation of a modern secular university education became a national necessity. Since 1957, Saudi Arabia has witnessed the greatest proliferation of higher education. During this period, seven comprehensive universities and various autonomous colleges were inaugurated in different areas of Saudi Arabia. WW One of the youngest universities to be established in Saudi Arabia is KFU. It was officially chartered in 1975 and received the first group of students to be admitted by the university in the fall of 1975. Like the other six universities in Saudi Arabia, King Faisal University is a semi-autonomous public institution operated and financed by the government through the Ministry of Higher Education. Although the operational policy decision of the university have been delegated to the university council, the university's board - The Supreme Council - is the dominant authority regarding all 29 of the university's scientific, financial, and adminis- trative affairs (King Faisal University Catalogue, 1979- 1980, p. 20). However, KFU consists of two campuses: the main campus which is located in AL-Ahsa and contains the univeristy's administration headquarters and four colleges (College of Agriculture Science and Food, College of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Wealth, College of Education, and College of Planning and Administration), and four supportive units. These units are the Research and Training Center, the Deanship of Student Affairs, the Deanship of Admission and Registration, and the Deanship of Libraries. Its branch in Dammam City includes two colleges (the College of Medicine and Medical Sciences and the College of Architecture and Planning), and the English Center; Computer Center; and printing, translation, and publication center (KFU Directory, 1982, p. 2). The authorities of the university include (in hierarchal manner) the Minister of Higher Education, the Vice-Supreme President of the Saudi Universities, the Supreme Council, the Rector, the University Council, the Vice-Rector, the Scientific Council, Deans of the University and the Colleges Departments Council. The administrative structure of the university includes the Rector, Vice-Rector in AL-Ahsa, Vice-Rector in Dammam Campus, Deans of Colleges, Dean of Admissions and 30 Registration, Dean of Student Affairs, Dean of Graduate Studies, Dean of Libraries, as well as a number of directors of various services centers and other administrative units. The location of this university in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on the Arabian Gulf, gives it a unique position because it is close to the borders of the Arabian Gulf States. This location makes the university more of an international than just a national university. The percentage of non- Saudi students to the whole population of the students is about 13% (KFU Statistical Pmofile, 1984, p. l). The growth of this institution exemplifies the rapid expansion of higher education in the Kingdom. The profound growth of the university is well documented through the dramatic increase of its student number and the number of disciplines available for the students. Its student population increased from a very tiny enrollment of 170 students in the first academic year of the university in the fall of 1975, to an enrollment of about three thousand students during the first term of the academic year of 1985. 31 The mission of KFU is a challenging one within the general role of the university education in Saudi Arabia, that is: To educate leaders who can assume positions in government and private sector while guarding the religious and moral values of the Moslem faith, KFU's major goal is, therefore, the preparation of students to actively contribute to the development of Saudi Arabia within the religious and moral codes of the Islam. In addition, the university is to advance knowledge through the promotion of research and study. In accordance with such an ambitious mission, the university provides many services and facilities for its students, faculty members, as well as the surrounding community. There are two main libraries on each campus in addition to a number of smaller libraries allotted for each college and for student housing units. The community service is one of King Faisal University's goals. Hence, a number of services and facilities are provided by the university to assist the community. Among others, these centers and facilities are established: 1) Agricultural Ikaining and Research Experimental Station; 2) Camel Research Center; 3) Date Palm Research Center, Water Studies Center; and 4) Health care through instructional hospitals - King Fahd Hospital and the veterinary Hospital. 32 Recognizing the uniqueness of each individual student and the vital importance of developing the whole personality of its students, KFU established the Deanship of Student Affairs and the Deanship of Admissions and Registration so as to create a productive atmosphere conducive to the total development of the students physically, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, spiritually, as well as socially. Therefore, the student personnel services are considered an essential component that complements and supplements the classroom instruction. The services and activities available at King Faisal University include admissions and registration, housing, financial aids, student activities (religious, social, athletics, cultural), health, orientation, food services, and non-Saudi student affairs. However, it is worth mentioning the goals of the Student Personnel Services at KFU: l) The provision of all necessary services for students. 2) Orientation of students and strengthening their belonging to the Islamic Nation and to the world. 3) Optimal exploitation of students' time by means of implementing student activities programs which promote students' talents and abilities to be used for the interest of both of students and society. 4) Prepare the individuals physically and mentally, and develop their total personality through student sports activities. 33 5) To acquire a balanced well-rounded personality of its students and help them maintain and live a positive life. (KFU Directory of the Deanship of Student Affairs, p. 20) Mission A brief discussion of the foundations and historical development of higher education in Saudi Arabia and the development of King Faisal University and its student personnel program is presented in this chapter. The next chapter contains a comprehensive review of literature related to student personnel services in regard to its development, importance and the importance of evaluating it, using students, faculty, and student personnel staff's perceptions; pioneer studies in the field; and studies that used one, two, or three of these groups in evaluating student personnel services. CHAPTER III REVIEW OF LITERATURE An exhaustive examination of the literature and studies related to student personnel services in higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia revealed that such studies are almost non-existent. However, a review of literature related to student personnel services in the United States is presented in this chapter in an attempt to discover the degree to which investigation, evaluation, and analysis of student personnel services have been undertaken in the United States in general and concerning the colleges and universities in Saudi Arabia in particular. In reviewing the literature, the researcher constantly kept in mind the objectives and the plan of the present study to make sure that the materials included were related to the research plan and objectives. This approach was advocated by Borg and Gall (1979). Although there was an abundant accumulation of studies on student personnel services, the present study includes only studies that covered the whole program of student personnel services. In order to depict the development of student personnel services, studies from an earlier period are included in the review of literature. This chapter includes six divisions that cover studies related to specific areas of student personnel services 34 35 directly associated with this investigation. These divisions are: 1) Development of student personnel services. 2) Importance of student personnel services for college students. 3) Importance of evaluation for student personnel work. 4) Use of students, faculty, and student personnel staff (either one group, two groups or three groups together) in evaluating and assessing student personnel work. 5) Pioneer studies of student personnel services. 6) Studies that used students, faculty, and staff and studies that used one group, two groups, or all three of these groups. WW5 Tracing the starting point of student personnel work is actually an exhaustive task. The ideas regarding the origin of this profession are inconsistent. While some consider the publication of the famous pamphlet, the atgdgn3_zg;§gnng1_291n§_gfi_y1gu in 1937 as a cornerstone in student personnel services (Zimmerman 1963, p. 2), others argued that the foundation of student personnel work goes back deeply in history. Bathurst (1938) states that "contrary to the belief of some, student personnel work is not new. Its roots extend deep into antiquity, antedating even the birth of Christ . . . Its roots can be traced back to Athenian education before and during the time of 36 Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle" (p. 502). Rackham (1950) echoed Bathurst and rejected the idea that the student personnel point of view is a new, innovative twentieth century concept. He made it clear that: . . . student personnel work has its roots deep in antiquity. When one considers that during the time of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle Athenian education was concerned with developing the mind and body equally; when one realizes that the idea of guidance, of the need for individualization in teaching, has been present for centuries in many important philosophies from the time of Plato to the time of Dewey, he should realize that the guidance concept springs from sources which have long been considered eminently sound and eminently respectable. (p. 1) Leonard (1950) attributed the beginning of student personnel work to the colonial colleges era (p. 24). Shaffer and Martinson (1966) pointed out that the real development of student personnel services took place in the latter part of the nineteenth century and the early part of the twentieth century in response to increasing needs and demands pressing upon American colleges and universities (p. 3-4). Delworth, Hanson, and Associates (1981) singled out three factors in the history of American higher education that influenced the evolution of student personnel services profession. These are: l. 'The shift in emphasis from religious to secular concerns. 2. The expansion in size and complexity of institutions, and 37 3. The shift in faculty focus from student development to academic interests. (p. 9) ‘Wrenn (1951) Zlisted a number of factors that he believed to have contributed to the growth of student personnel services in higher education. Some of these important antecedents were the initiation of the elective system in 1925, the new development in psychology, the presence of women on the college campus for the first time, and the local conditions and the general philosophies of the institutions (p. 32-34). As to the development of student services in the twentieth century, after World War I, Wrenn outlined four influential factors: 1) the increasing size and heterogeneity of student populations, 2) emphasis upon specific "phases" of student life, 3) the development of new tools and specialized procedures, and 4) the increasing complexity of social adjustment (p. 24). Shaffer and Martinson (1966) added other elements such as the land-grant colleges movement and the rising of the general reaction against an intellectualism philosophy of education (p. 3). c d on 'c The great role student personnel services plays on any campus has been recognized by practitioners, educators, and professionals. Lloyd-Jones and Smith (1938) warned against 38 considering the student personnel program as the "fifth wheel of education" (p. 16). They added that: Higher education finds prepared to its hand, in the personnel program, tools and methods for understanding individuals so that education can be effectively individualized and, consequently, students may become increasingly self-directing and successful in making and realizing worthwhile plans for themselves and for society. (p. 14) Noel (1985) in studying one of the nagging problems in American higher education institutions, namely keeping students from dropping out, found that creating an environment conducive to identification and development of students' talents could result in an amazing level of learning and personal growth. This development can be achieved with activities in the classroom and/or out of the classroom (p. 2). He also notes that high quality academic advising, counseling, and career pdanning services were rated as important factors contributing to students' retention (p. 16). Chancellor Wells from Indiana university (1966), in his introduction of Shaffer and Martinson's book, sggggg; WW. portrays. in general, the impact of failing to respond to the need of college students on the development of the whole nation. He stated: If institutions of higher education.... . had failed to meet needs of the unsophisticated or disadvantaged college-age youth, the growth of the country would have been stunted from each of 39 needed leadership and skilled personnel. Without the broad base of trained manpower provided by colleges and universities, the United States would not have been able to develop as rapidly and with such diversity as it has during the Twentieth Century. (p. vi) According to Shaffer and Martinson (1966), student personnel work not only serves the students' needs but also assists the institution, as a whole, in its work and helps it maintain the "coherence and integrity of the college environment" (p. 14). Astin (1985) introduced "The Student Involvement Theory" in which he argued that the more the student participation in college affairs, whether in academic or non-academic activities, the greater the learning and personal growth (p. 137). Astin suggested three practical steps to facilitate students' involvement and developing of their talents. Student life outside the classroom, which includes, as Astin mentioned, "academic advising, residential facilities, orientation, financial aid, counseling, and campus life in general, is one factor for encouraging greater participation of students. Moreover, ‘Parker (1974) contended that "student services . . . are necessary to the efficient functioning of the university" (p. 4). Berdie (1970) clarified the important role of student personnel work as he identified its vital purposes: 1) To humanize higher education; 2) To individualize higher education; 40 3) To bring into balance the world of the student, that of the university, and the enveloping "real" world that encompasses all; 4) To implant, nurture and extend students' drives, interests, and motives, so that college and community resources will be used maximally by students to achieve their educational purposes; and 5) To increase the immediate satisfactions and enjoyments experienced by students so that higher education is perceived as a pleasantly productive experience. (p. 12-13) According to wrenn, student personnel work's primary task is helping the student. Hence, Wrenn (1951) pointed out the tremendous value of student services on the grounds that raising "the level of effectiveness of the college, or of society as a whole," is contingent upon the promotion of the "competence and maturity of each individual" (p. 3). The findings of Fitzgerald's (1959) study showed that faculty members' responses assured the importance of student personnel services for the achievement of the philosophy and purpose of higher education. Berdie (1966) considers the student personnel services as an integral part of the whole educational process and not just as a part of or a separate function of higher education institutions pattern (p. 135). After reviewing a number of pioneers' definitions of student personnel work, Bathurst (1938) concluded that the writers asserted that 41 student personnel work and education are synonymous (p. 509). W "In order to ascertain the worth of a product it is well to question the consumer and the product. Such is true with regard to student personnel services" (Kamm, 1950, p. 543). The review of the literature pertaining to student personnel work in higher education over the last fifty years revealed that there has been steady growing interest and emphasis on the merit of evaluation of student personnel programs. The American Council on Education's famous pamphlet (1949): The_5iudent_£srssnnel_fsint_ef 21:1, points out that "without stress upon a critical and experimental self study, student personnel services will deteriorate into ritual observance which yields little assistance to growing students" (p. 20). Lewicki and Thompson (1982) stressed the vital importance of careful evaluation for planning and implementing student services programs successfully (p. 477). Wrenn (1951) challenged the personnel worker to accept the opinions of both groups, the students and faculty, about the student service as an essential condition for the "success of or failure of the program". He strongly recommended that, "Opinions must be sought and 42 their influence recognized if the attitude of those stating the opinions have any significance for the services in question" (p. 500). While Lloyd-Jones and Smith (1954) described evaluation as a vital and essential component in any valuable enterprise (p. 324), their book a_jumdgnt WW drew the attention to the great benefits gained through the research and evaluation in the student personnel program. They put it this way: Research and evaluation assist those in charge of student personnel programs to discover what they have to work with; the type and capacities of students' . . . the result of interacting forces; the type and nature of equipment, space, and other facilities available and needed; trends and emphasis in their personnel efforts. Research and evaluation may become the basis for change in policies, for a more effective direction of efforts. Research and evaluation may also become the basis for further needed research and evaluation. (p. 278-279) Williamson (1961) assured that: No program can continue to develop in step with increases in related knowledge without such evaluation. It is a mark of an effective program and of effective staff work when personnel workers are interested in constant evaluations of their efforts. (p. 131) Gilbert (1950), Hopkins (1948), Zimmerman (1963), Emerson (1971), Kvaraceus (1960), Badger (1962), Becker (1961), Dunlop (1970), Peterson (1968), Mines, Gressard, and Daniel (1982), Kuh (1982) and McDavis and Martin 43 (1984) all emphasized the need and importance of evaluation of student personnel services. Rackham (1951) argued that until a thorough and systematic evaluation and assessment of the present programs and a study of the actual needs is made, these services will not be as effective or adequate as they should be (p. 692). Robinson (1962) stated that "evaluation of present programs provides the only sound basis for the program modification which probably will become necessary as student enrollments increase (p. 21). Rackham urged that "student personnel workers should be subjected periodically to a thorough inventory so that needed adjustments can be identified and attended to" (P. 691). However, evaluation of student personnel services continue to assume an important role in increasing the effectiveness and the responsiveness of the profession. Recently, in his assessment of the trends affecting student affairs on the eve of the silver anniversary year of student personnel work (1959-1984), Shaffer (1984) strongly stressed the "absolute necessity" for constant, effective evaluation in all aspects of student affairs (p. 131). Achieving a meaningful evaluation requires that criteria be available against which the performance of a function is measured. According to Wrenn (1951), "the distinctive characteristic of evaluation is the establishment of criteria against which the performance of the function is measured or judged. Almost any method of research may be employed, but evaluation must a1gay§_hg_against_griteria" (p. 476-477). Wrenn states that using the opinion of the student as a criterion of effectiveness is less common, but as an index of "consumer attitude it is more significant than any expert judgement of what ought to be useful to students" (9. 501). Barr, Keating and associates (1985) asserted that "word-of mouth program evaluation among student participants is one of the best indicators that the program goals and objectives were met" (p. 143). According to Moore (1966), Williamson suggests that student and faculty satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the services can be considered adequate criteria for evaluating student services (p. 35). Glennen (1965) contends that to be able to meet the needs of the majority of the students, a college should study the opinions of administrators, students, and faculty (p. 14). 45 W: Published in 1949 by the American Council on Education, identified some criteria for evaluating student personnel programs. Two of these criteria relating to the use of student's and faculty's opinions were: 1) student expressions of satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the services received; (these expressions may be informally collected or may be gathered systematically) and 2) Expressions of satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the program by members of the teaching staff (p. 18). Lloyd-Jones and Smith (1954) point out that "it is important that all those involved should be consulted and given an opportunity to contribute their ideas" (p. 324-325). They added that student views are "often fresh and fruitful and their assistance of genuine value" (p. 227). Tamte (1964) stated that, "the effectiveness of a student personnel program does not depend solely upon the measured effectiveness of the objective characteristics of its staff. The effectiveness rests also upon the "image" of the program held by the various members of the university community" (p. 7). Abbott (1976) justifies the use of the student personnel staff's perceptions of student services on the basis that "they have day-to-day responsibility for administering the services". And because it 46 '. . . possesses first hand knowledge of the internal operation of each service and the strengths and weaknesses of the service in dealing with daily problems" (p. 7). Fitzgerald (1959) refers to the necessity of determining and clarifying the perceptions of faculty members regarding student personnel programs in higher education institutions (p. 5). The American Council on . Education's publication (1949), The_Stgdgnt_£er§gnnel_zgint 9f 11:1, calls for students' participation in the administration of student services. This pamphlet assured that "students can make significant contributions to the development and maintenance of effective personnel programs through contributing evaluations of the quality of the services, new ideas for changes in the services" (p. 17). Wrenn (1951) strongly recommended that faculty opinions about personnel services be surveyed and taken seriously if the procedure has to be successful. Writ. According to many writers (Blaesser, 1949; Badger, 1964; and Rankin, 1966), Hopkin's study (1926) was the first national survey of student personnel work in higher education. The purpose of Hopkin's survey was to assess and evaluate the existing program in terms of its fit into the overall educational program of the surveyed institutions, to determine the extent to which the 47 personnel point of view philosophy was put into practice for the purpose of helping the individual grow and to ascertain the needed action as suggested by those concerned. Hopkins (1926) prepared a list of activities involving twenty items which fall under five major categories: selection and metrication, personal service, curriculum and teaching, research, and coordination. Provision and effectiveness of a service in any of these institutions were rated in terms of A, B, and O to indicate the existence and level of performance of services according to Hopkin's judgement. Fourteen institutions were visited and their student personnel work was investigated within two to three days. Hopkins concluded that there was a general acceptance among these institutions of the personnel point of view represented by these functions (p. 7). Brumbaugh and Smith (1932) constructed a point scale for evaluating student personnel work in higher education institutions. Fifty experts in student personnel work were asked to distribute 1,000 points among ten selected areas of student personnel services. According to Gannett (1981), "This study was significant because the scale included more services than the previous scales developed by Hopkins" (p. 20). This study introduced the following functions: educational counseling, admissions and 48 orientation, personal problems, records, data and research, personnel organization, health and recreation, vocational counseling, diagnosis and remedial treatment, student employment and placement, and extra-curricular activities. This scale was used in more than 100 institutions where administrators and student personnel staff were requested to rate their programs on this scale. However, no results were reported from this study. In 1936, fifty-seven institutions of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools were the target of an evaluative study conducted by Gardner (1936). He sought to determine the extent to which provisions for student services were associated with academic excellence in each of the investigated institutions. A checklist was developed with the help of and consultation with thirty-two student personnel experts. Eleven areas of student personnel services were included on the checklist: admissions, orientation, records, educational and personal counseling, extra-curricular activities, faculty advising, health services, housing and board, placement, and discipline. According to Gannett (1981), the results of Gardner's checklist were correlated with the scale constructed by Brumbaugh and Smith in 1932 (p. 21). 49 In 1931 Cowley conducted a survey at Ohio State University. His purpose was to find "a method of classifying and cataloging" the functions of student personnel services (p. 18). He sought to come up with a clear-cut definition of these services and to eliminate the confusion surrounding student personnel work. However, Cowley was criticized by Dean Hawkes annual report to the President of Columbia University in 1927, in which he urged that each institution should conduct a survey of its student services to delineate the outside classroom activities and coordinate responsibilities (p. 18). According to Cowley (1931) the definition of the jprogram includes two parts: the structural analysis and the functional analysis. Cowley's survey suggested ten administrative units and nineteen personnel functions. These nineteen services were: 1) Personnel Counseling 2) Educational Counseling 3) Vocational Counseling 4) Psychological Counseling 5) Religious Counseling 6) Part-time Placement 7) Employment or fu11-time placement 8) Loans and scholarship 9) Student Health 10) Housing 11) Supervision of Extra-Curricular Activities 12) Social Programs 13) Discipline 14) Intelligence testing 15) Orientation (Freshmen Week) 16) Admissions 17) Admissions of the Ohio Union, men's club house 50 18) The Admissions to WOmen's club house 19) Pre-College Guidance Cowley defined these functions and then sought answers for three questions about each of them: 1) Is the service centrally operated? 2) Should it be centralized? And 3) Do the functions need to be developed? (p. 24). Wrenn and Kamm (1948) made an evaluative study with the purpose of developing a procedure for evaluating student personnel services because they felt that the student personnel field needed such tools to use in evaluating the effectiveness and adequacy of student services on higher education institutions. This evaluation report farm included fourteen student personnel services, each of which encompassed various subcategories. The authors divided this evaluation report form into three parts: Part A dealt with the degree to which the administration of the institution regarded this student service essential. The second part, B, comprised a listing of the services provided for a specific personnel function. Part C allowed them to put together his two sets of judgments and then measure the adequacy of each of the services provided by his institution (p. 266-268). Kamm (1950) developed W to be used in conjunction with the previous form, entitled "An Evaluation Report Form for Student Personnel Services" because the latter was "for the use of trained personnel 51 workers" (p. 538). This form contained sixty questions, five for each of twelve different functions of student personnel services. The respondents were asked to chose between three answers: "yes", "no", or "?" to each of the sixty items. A combined score of each item and grouping of these question responses for each of the major services was calculated. In interpreting the data, Kamm used percentages. If "yes" responses for certain functions reached approximately two-thirds or more of the total responses, it was suggested that the services be regarded adequate; and should be taken care of. Kamm suggested that the "?" responses were to be used for testing the familiarity or lack of familiarity with a particular service. He recommended that "the presence even of a low percentage such as (15%)" indicated that improvement of publicity and communication is needed. Rackham (1950) conducted a comprehensive study with the purpose of developing an inventory to be used in evaluating student personnel services in higher education institutions. His study included 381 personnel officers and ten specialists. His approach included seven steps through which a 225 item rating scale was developed covering fifteen areas of student personnel services programs. These tentative criteria were presented to the chief personnel officers at the carefully selected 52 institutions to be included in this study. A selected number of "competent specialists" in student personnel services were asked to review the criteria and check the criterion which they deemed its provisions contributed to the institutional excellence. The specialists were asked to recommend any addition to or omission from the list according to their judgment. Rackham (1950) reached the following eighteen conclusions as a result of his study: 1) The aims and scope of any program of student personnel services will be determined by the aims and scope of the educational system which it has been designed to serve. 2) Modern institutions of higher learning in the United States are committed to the responsibility of developing the whglg student to provide not only intellectual experiences, but physical, emotional, and social experiences as well. This commitment makes it imperative that institutions understand the elements in the educational process. 3) Student personnel service programs in American universities are essentially alike in their underlying purposes, although they may differ vastly in details. 4) Because the welfare of students is not the exclusive concern of any one group, the three divisions of the college organization (business, instructional, personnel) must be thoroughly integrated. 5) The effectiveness of any student personnel services program must ultimately rest upon scientific evidence and concrete facts, not upon untested assumptions and unsupported personnel opinions; therefore, any such program should be subjected periodically to a thorough inventory, 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) 13) 53 so that needed adjustments can be identified and given proper attention. Increased student personnel services are demanded in colleges and universities today because of the rapid growth of emrollments, changes in the character of the school population, and the expansion of educational offerings. A student personnel service program should be judged as a whole and not simply as the sum of its separate parts; weakness in one part of a program may be more than compensated by strength in another. Administrative policies in a college institution should be of such a nature that personnel workers continuously experience the application of the best personnel principles in their professional activities. Since change is a universal law, any efficient student personnel program must possess flexibility, which enables it to adapt itself to varying problems and objectives; that is, it should be more concerned with diversity and initiative than with uniformity and conformity. The most desirable type of organization is a decentralized, coordinated personnel service which allows independent but related functions to be performed by a variety of agencies and individuals (e.g., health and placement) with considerable autonomy given each of the units and with all service coordinated through a central office. The responsibility of an institution and of the program of student personnel services in particular goes far beyond college boundaries and beyond limits of graduation. There is need for increased articulation between secondary schools and institutions of higher education. Counseling, at least at the lay level, should be a part of the major function of every educator and not the sole responsibility of duly appointed personnel officers. 54 14) Leaders in institutions of higher learning can and should help to mold and direct collective opinions on their campuses. 15) In campus organizations and activities, the development of the participants is of more importance than is the attainment of any particular level of efficiency. Always, of course, such activities should be integrated as much as possible with the work of the curriculum. 16) It is the responsibility of an educational institution to help those students who are in need of placement guidance to find occupation outlets for the education they obtain. 17) Effective student personnel services depend upon on an adequate system of records. 18) The demand for trained personnel workers will increase as members of the teaching and administrative staffs become increasingly concerned with counseling functions and more alert in detecting personality needs. (p. 332-336) W W Daughtrey (1953) used two instruments of measurement to gather information from the selected student and faculty samples. These data were employed to analyze the reactions of these two groups to student personnel services at the University of Florida. He used percentage, ratio and chi-square statistical interpretations. His study revealed that student and faculty reactions were favorable toward these services. However, faculty reactions were less positive than those of the students. Intergroup differences were evident. Daughtrey concluded that further 55 investigation was needed in counseling, registration and admissions, and health and food services as well as communication improvement for placement and personnel records services (p. 786). Mahler (1955) utilized the reactions of students and faculty to eleven major student personnel services in four independent Minnesota colleges to answer two research questions: 1) ‘What formulated faculty-student opinion scales can be employed to secure estimates of quality of a given student personnel services; 2) To what extent can opinion scales be used to assess the acceptance of the basic principles of the students' point of view? Mahler found it necessary to construct a novel scale that could be utilized with both faculty and student groups. 'The questionnaire consisted of twelve personnel areas. He also used the Rackham (1950) Student Personnel Services Inventory through personal interviews at the four colleges with the student personnel services staff to get an independent judgment. The judgement was then matched with the findings resulting from administering his own inventory with students and faculty. Mahler concluded that a cautiously constructed student-faculty opinion scale could be used to obtain estimates of the quality of a designated student personnel service. He established a dependable student point of view inventory as well. 56 Shigley, (1958) conducted an evaluative study at Marion College depending on student and faculty opinions of adequacies and inadequacies of various student services. He adapted and utilized Kamm and Wrenn's inventory for obtaining views of students, revised it and addressed it to the faculty. The personal interview method was used with all faculty members and a sample of student papulations from each college class of the institution. Shigley analyzed and compared the responses of students, subgroups of students and faculty, and subcategories of faculty. The chi-square technique was used to detect significant differences between the students, between the faculty and between the subgroups. The findings of Shigley's investigation showed that: 1) In general, both students and faculty rated the program as inadequate; 2) Students rated three services from 12 as adequate and faculty rated two as adequate; 3) Both faculty and student responses revealed that they were familiar with five of the functions and they needed more information on the other seven areas of services; 4) Significant difference in the opinions of the students and faculty were recorded relative to their views and familiarity of adequacy of various services; and 5) Significant differences were reported between the opinions of divergent student groups and between faculty subgroups than were confirmed between the opinions of students and faculty. 57 Shigley concluded that the program as a whole was inadequate, student aid and placement services needed more attention, and communication and publicity were lacking, especially for new faculty and working students (p. 1018). In an attempt to accomplish two purposes; to identify the perceptions of faculty members at Michigan State University regarding student personnel services in higher education, and to develop an instrument which could be applied (n: a variety of campuses, Fitzgerald (1959) conducted a study in which she used the questionnaire method of investigation. A questionnaire called "Student Personnel Services Questionnaire" was mailed to a randomly selected sample of 150 faculty members at Michigan State University. Chi-square techniques, which were employed by Fitzgerald to analyze the data, indicated that significant differences in perceptions exist between faculty who work closely with student organizations, and those who do not. ‘But a few differences were disclosed between the perceptions of faculty with tenure on MSU campus and those who do not have tenure. It was the purpose of the study conducted by Zimmerman (1963) to examine the student perceptions regarding student personnel services at Michigan State University. He utilized a stratified random sample consisting of fifty senior students during the academic year of 1962 at MSU. 58 Zimmerman used two instruments to gather the needed data for his investigation: the questionnaire constructed by Fitzgerald and a personal interview with each subject. A questionnaire constructed earlier by Fitzgerald asked the participants to respond to each item in two ways: 1) How important is each function to college student's education, and 2) How do students evaluate the performance of each service on MSU campus. These questions followed certain questions for personal interviewing of students. The results of Zimmerman's study revealed the following: 1) Personnel services are important to the student in college. 2) The attitude of the members of the sample toward these services at Michigan State University were, in general, very favorable. 3) The amount of student experience with various personnel services varied widely. 4) The students of the sample were least satisfied with the area of student conduct. 5) The students of the sample were most satisfied ' with the placement services. 6) The methods of improving personnel services suggested most often by the students were improving communications between the various personnel services and the students and giving the students more responsibility in the areas of housing and conduct. Tamte (1964) investigated the perceptions and whether differences in opinions exist between faculty, student S9 personnel staff, and students in regard to the student personnel program at the University of Denver. He tested fourteen hypotheses covering the perceptions of the three groups and their subgroups. A questionnaire consisting of forty statements representing nine areas of the student personnel program was used for data gathering. He asked each respondent to answer four questions. 1) What is the importance to college education? 2) Are there specific provisions for this at the University of Denver? 3) How adequately is it achieved at the University of Denver? 4) Where is this function performed? The chi-square technique was utilized and the level of significance was set at p-.05. The conclusions related to Tamte's investigation were: 1) That there is little disagreement within the campus community at the University of Denver concerning the importance of the various services to a college education; 2) There is much disagreement and/or lack of knowledge regarding the place of the student personnel services at the U.D; 3) 'The personnel services at the U.D. were perceived differently by the various groups studied both as to importance to a college education and as to location; 4) With regard to the groups of faculty and of students, the selective factor chosen for grouping could not be definitely identified as the differentiation factor. The housing factor and the six factors among all the student groups may have been the differentiating factors throughout; 60 5) That there were more significant differences in perceptions by the subgroups of the students in some student personnel areas than in others. Abdel-AAL (1965) analyzed the perceptions of students and faculty regarding student personnel services in teacher colleges in Egypt. He used Kamm and Wrenn's instrument, "An Inventory of Student Reaction to Student Personnel Services" to obtain the needed data for his study. Abdel-AAL's study was intended to answer the following research questions: 1) What are the effective and the ineffective student personnel services of teacher colleges in Egypt as viewed by their students and faculty members? 2) How well informed are students and faculty of the available services? 3) Is there any difference in the perceptions of these two groups regarding student services in their colleges? 4) What improvement of the existing services do these perceptions suggest? The chi-square technique was employed in the analysis of the data to look for any significant differences in the responses of various subgroups of the students and the faculty. Abdel-AAL's study results showed that the majority of the services were perceived by students and faculty as inadequate and their responses indicated that there was a lack of sufficient information with regard to most of the services investigated. In terms of whether there were 61 significant differences in the perceptions of students and faculty and among their subgroups, the findings revealed that significant differences were confirmed between these groups concerning the majority of the selected services. However, asked on the results of his investigation, Abdel-AAL proposed that a student personnel services program be established for the teacher colleges in Egypt and that they include most of the student services provided by colleges and universities in the United States. Rankin's study of student personnel services at Colorado State College in 1966 was undertaken to determine the perceptions held by the 1966 Spring Quarter graduating seniors concerning these services. The primary purpose of Rankin's investigation was to obtain the data to be utilized in the evaluation of the student personnel services at Colorado State College. The minor purpose was to ascertain if the perceptions of the graduating senior would vary significantly when they were classified into three groups: sex, duration of enrollment, and residences. Rankin's investigation was planned to answer the following questions: 1) How important are the student personnel services to graduating seniors? 2) Are graduating seniors aware of the personnel services? 3) Have graduating seniors had direct contact with the personnel services? 62 4) How satisfied are graduating seniors with the personnel services? 5) be graduating seniors know the location of the personnel services? 6) ‘What recommendations do graduating seniors have which would help to improve the existing personnel services? Rankin employed the questionnaire method for gathering the information needed for his study. His instruments consisted of two sections - the first part comprised forty items exemplifying functions and responsibilities of student services on the Colorado State College Campus, and the second section included open-end questions eliciting participants' recommendations for the improvement of the selected student personnel services. Rankin used the chi-square to test the null hypotheses and percentages to determine the direction of the graduating seniors' perceptions. In the light of the analysis of the data, Rankin reached the following major conclusions: 1) Graduating seniors rated the student services as being "fairly important" to college education. 2) Although the graduating seniors were aware of the provision of these services, they were unaware of all of the functions provided by these services. 3) They have had contact with each of these services, but did not utilize all of the functions available. 4) In general, the graduating seniors were satisfied with the services in which they have experience. 63 S) The Placement Center was seen by graduating seniors as the most important service to students. 6) The job of supervising the off-campus housing was perceived by graduating seniors as the most unsatisfactorily accomplished function. 7) When the graduating seniors grouped by sex, (duration of enrollment, and place of residence; their perceptions of student personnel services did not differ significantly. In 1967 Ross studied the opinion of administration, faculty, and student personnel staff regarding the importance, provision, the awareness of these groups and how well, and in what areas these services were being performed. Six null hypotheses were tested to ascertain the consistency of the response pattern between and among these groups and the subgroups. A questionnaire called "Student Personnel Services Questionnaire," which was adapted from Fitzgerald's questionnaire, was used to gather the data. The chi-square test was used to see which response patterns differed for various groups. Ross concluded that: 1) There were discrepancies in the opinions of administration, faculty, and student personnel workers on twenty-six of the student personnel functions; 2) Significant differences for the total sample on all of the statements in counseling and student activities; 3) The three groups of the sample hold a different philosophy of education; 64 4) A lack of knowledge, on the part of faculty on whether certain student personnel services were provided at Ohio university; 5) There was a breakdown of intra-area communication among the student personnel workers concerning their functions. Troescher's (1969) study was concerned with the measurement and comparison of- the perceptions of student personnel services held by student personnel adminis- trators, the faculty, and the students at Rock Valley College. Specifically, her study was designed to answer the following questions: 1) How effective were student personnel services at Rock valley College as seen by student personnel staff, faculty, and students? 2) Were there any significant differences between the perceptions of these three groups toward any of student services at their college? Troescher found that, in general, there was an agreement in the perceptions of the student personnel staff, faculty, and students, that most of the services were being implemented effectively, and that this agreement would indicate that these services were a very important component within the total college program (p. 115). Dunlop (1970) undertook a study at the University of Wyoming to measure the student perceptions of student personnel services. His major aim was to gather information from the students and to use it for evaluating the student personnel program at this university. The 65 minor purpose of Dunlop's study was to ascertain whether the perceptions of the sampled students would vary when they were categorized into subgroups. This investigation was guided by five research questions and four null hypotheses posed by Dunlop. In these questions Dunlop asked the respondents to record their views as to the importance of these services, their awareness of the provisions of these services, the frequency of direct contact by students with these various activities, how they rate the effectiveness of these various services, and lastly the students were asked to give any suggestions or comments regarding the studied program. Dunlop presented his conclusion in two categories: general and specific. In general, students perceived student services as an important aspect of higher education. Most of them were aware of the provision of these services, but were not familiar with the operational functions in detail. Most of the students were not able to rate the level of performance of these services. Where students lived proved to be the influential factor when comparing their views regarding student services. Student responses revealed that communication between themselves and student personnel workers was missed, and they showed their satisfactions with services with which they had experiences and contacts. The student responses indicated that they were not being involved in decisions regarding 66 policies, rules and regulations that affected their conduct. Emerson undertook a study in 1971 to determine differences in perceptions held by faculty, students, and student personnel workers concerning the effectiveness of student personnel services. Personal versus vicarious experiences were employed to evaluate the effectiveness, and familiarity of selected student personnel services at ten colleges at the North Carolina Community College system. He used a questionnaire called "Evaluation of Selected College Services," which consisted of 65 statements. Emerson (1971) utilized the multivariate and univariate analysis of variance and the Tukey and Scheffe' pos-hoc tests to analyze the data. His study indicated that significant difference exist between colleges: faculty rated the effectiveness of selected student personnel services lower than did students; and student personnel staff, faculty, and students perceived their awareness of selected student personnel services lower than did student personnel workers. He recommended that a study be conduct- ed to measure the perceptions of faculty, students, and student personnel workers concerning the importance of student personnel services and to determine whether there were some differences in their perceptions. 67 In an exploratory study, Cowins Sr. (1974) conducted an investigation at the University of North Florida to examine the perceptions of faculty, administrators, and students regarding student personnel services at this University. He used a modified version of the Fitzgerald questionnaire to gather information from the three groups in an attempt to identify and compare their perceptions. These perceptions could then be used in the evaluation of the student personnel program at the University of North Florida. The services included in Cowins' study were counseling services, financial aid and placement, food services, health services, special services, student activities, and student conduct. To test his hypotheses, Cowins used discriminant analysis and multivariate analysis of variance techniques. The results of this study revealed that the perceptions of counseling and food services seemed to be the contributing factors in a measure of group differences in the area of importance and awareness successively. As to the area of effectiveness, services related to student conduct were perceived as very effective by the student body, but in the area of food services there were no significant differences found between the perceptions of the three groups. Concerning the analysis of data on the location of food services, significant differences were found between the 68 groups. Relying on the findings of his study, Cowins rejected all four hypotheses. Student activities at Federal City College were the concern of Kinard's (1975) investigation in which he sought to examine the perceptions of students and student personnel staff with respect to student activities at Federal City College in order to determine areas of perceptual disagreement and/or concurrence. Kinard posed the following research question: "Was there a significant difference in the satisfaction with student activities at Federal City College as viewed by students and student personnel staff who were registered and/or employed this college?" In general, Kinard's study revealed that differences did exist between the perceptions of the Federal City College students and the student personnel staff concerning student activities. Also his results showed that staff estimations of student satisfaction were significantly Ilower than those revealed by the students. The main purpose of McIver's (1976) investigation was to secure the perceptions held by administrators, faculty, and students regarding the existing student personnel services at the University of Oklahoma. The secondary purpose of McIver's study was to ascertain if the opinions of the three groups would vary significantly when they 69 were categorized on the basis of four variables: importance, awareness, effectiveness, and location. McIver's study was centered around the following questions: 1) How important are the student personnel services to administrators, faculty members, and students? 2) Are administrators, faculty, and students aware of the student services? 3) How satisfied are administrators, faculty members, and students with the personnel services? 4) Do administrators, faculty members, and students know the location of the personnel services? Five null hypotheses were examined by McIver in order to decide if a relationship existed between the perceptions of administrators, faculty, and students. The first four hypotheses dealt with the perceptions of student personnel services on four subscales separately, including: importance, awareness, effectiveness, and location. The fifth hypothesis treated these four subscales all together as related to the perceptions of student services among the three groups. The findings of this research indicated that significant differences existed in the perceptions of importance, awareness, effectiveness, and location of student personnel services among administrators, faculty, and students. A In 1977 Betz developed a study to determine the availability, utilization, and quality of student personnel services on five chosen metropolitan university campuses as perceived by non-residential evening students and administrators. the utilization and availability of student services on these campuses for evening students, and to ascertain the quality of these services as perceived by non-residential students using them and professional staff administering them. 70 Six research questions were to be answered by Betz's investigation: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Betz used the questionnaire technique for obtaining the needed data for her study. information Betz employed the "t" test and the chi-square Is there a relationship between the utilization of student personnel services by evening students and their sex, academic status, age, marital status, and employment status? What differences are there in the perceptions of administrators and evening students regarding the availability of student personnel services? What differences are there in the reported perceptions of administrators and self-reports of evening students regarding the utilization of the student personnel services? What differences are there in the perceptions of administrators and evening students regarding the quality of student personnel services? What are the perceptions of administrators and evening students regarding the desirability of additional student personnel services? What are the perceptions of administrators and evening students with regard to the need for existing personnel services? The study's purposes were to investigate To analyze the collected 71 test of significance. Based on her study results, Betz concluded that both groups viewed these services as needed, available, and of good quality despite the fact that students' responses indicated that they did not use these services. She stated that the two groups may have taken it for granted that these services have been part of their institution's environment for a long time and fit with the traditional personnel services program. In his article, Hendry (1977) reported the findings of a study whose purpose was to identify where differences of perceptions of fauclty, students and student personnel staff existed regarding the scope, quality and need for the improvement of student personnel services at five Alberta public colleges in 1974-1975. He concluded, based on the findings, that students' perceptions of the quality of student personnel services differ significantly from the perceptions of the personnel providing the services. However, generally student perceptions of the quality of services were found to be more in agreement with the perceptions of the faculty members than with those of the student personnel staff. Yet, student perceptions of the quality of the student personnel services were found to be consistently more negative. Robinson (1979) investigated the perceptions and utilization of student personnel services in an attempt to study the differences in the perceptions and utilization of 72 twelve areas of student personnel services by selected student subcultures at East Texas State University. The participants were categorized according to the typology of student subcultures, sex, residence, college major, and ethnic background. He utilized two forms of question- naires. He developed one of them and used the College Student Questionnaire, part 2. He used the chi-square test of independence to test the twenty hypotheses which he formulated for this study. His study revealed that: 1) Significant differences existed among members of the vocational, academic, collegiate, and nonconformist subcultures in their perceptions and utilization of student personnel services; 2) Significant differences in perceptions and utilization of student personnel services existed among students in the college business administration, college of education, college of liberal and fine arts, and college of sciences and technology; 3) Significant differences in perceptions and utilization of student personnel services existed between male and female, on-campus and off-campus, and black and white students. Pinsky (1978) studied student, faculty, and administrator perceptions of importance, evaluation of jperformance, and perceptions of "existing provisions" for ten categories of student services at Iowa State University. He sought to determine differences among subgroups of students, and faculty with respect to their opinions regarding these services. 73 The participants were asked to answer three questions for each of the 64 statements: 1) How do you rate the importance of the services for your university? 2) Are you aware of the provision of the services? 3) Evaluate the quality of the services. Pinsky employed one-way analysis of variance, and the Scheffe' test procedure to analyze and test differences in classification categories, and to examine differences of pairs of means. In general, Pinsky's investigations revealed that significant differences existed between and among the groups included in this study, but no significant differences were found among student subgroups. Johnson (1968) studied the perceptions of selected student personnel services in nine Illinois four-year colleges and seven junior colleges accredited by the Nerth Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools as seen by selected faculty members, student personnel administrators, and students and student subgroups. The findings showed that: 1) Student personnel administrators gave favorable attitudes to 27 of the total questions; 2) Student and faculty ratings showed more agreement than faculty and student personnel administrators ratings; 3) JFaculty and administrator mean evaluations differ from those from the students' assessment of the same services; 74 4) Some freshmen and sophomores were unaware of some administrative procedures, hence they were not able to give accurate assessment of the effectiveness of some services; 5) Mean scores for junior college students were not in harmony with that of four—year college student scores; 6) Agreement between mean scores of junior college students, commuting students, and those living off-campus is reported (p. 2093A). Todd (1968) studied the effectiveness of student personnel services at a large state university and a small state college as perceived by students. He administered the Kamm and Wrenn's "An Inventory of Student Reactions to Student Personnel Services" to a random sample of 300 students from a small state college and a random sample of 600 from a large state university in 1957. Null hypotheses for the thirteen areas were tested between the different groups included in this study. Significant differences were found between the various groups except for the comparison between the College of Arts and sciences and Home Economics. Students from the small college expressed a significantly more harmonious attitude toward total score and four other areas. While the students from the large university showed more favorable attitudes toward housing services, health services got moderately favorable attitudes from both groups (p. 1060-61). Student personnel services of the senior colleges of the American Lutheran Church was the aim of a study 75 conducted by Peterson (1968). The general objective of Peterson's investigation was to obtain information regarding the perceptions of selected student personnel services held by the student personnel administrators, faculty members, and students at these colleges and to utilize this data for evaluating the student personnel programs. Four research questions were constructed to facilitate the analysis of the gathered data. A modified version of Raine's "Inventory of Selected College Functions" was used in this study. Mean scores and chi-square techniques were used to measure the statistical significance. Peterson concluded that: 1) Significant differences in perceptions by the participant groups regarding the quality and scope of some student services existed; 2) Differences in perceptions of the quality of the studied programs were found to be more frequent than differences in perception of the scope of these services; 3) There were more negative composite mean score ratings given by the three groups concerning the scope of the services, while in contrast, they gave more positive composite mean score ratings with respect to the programs quality; 4) The study showed that some colleges needed some services to be implemented on their campuses; 5) The study indicated that student groups strongly expressed their desire to participate in decision-making processes of the institution that related to their academic and social conduct; 76 6) The channels of communication between the three groups needed to be strengthened; and 7) Faculty and student interviewees showed a common concern regarding the provision of the best possible comprehensive student services. Pinsky and Marks (1980) conducted a study whose major purpose was to determine the perceptions of students, faculty, and academic administrators concerning student personnel services at Iowa State University. The secondary purpose was to ascertain significant differences in the perceptions of the services dimensions. A questionnaire constructed by Pinsky (1978) was used. It contains 64 items which represent the ten areas of student personnel services. These services are: l) Admissions and Records 2) Counseling Services 3) Health Services 4) Housing and Food Service 5) Student Activities 6) Disciplinary Services 7) Financial Aid Services 8) Placement Services 9) Special Services 10) Minority and International Student Services Pinsky and Marks found that all three groups perceived these services as important but faculty and administrators rated the quality of these services to be higher than did the students. However, students were found to be less 77 aware of the provisions for five services, were satisfied with some of these services and dissatisfied with others (p. 99). Student personnel services in thirteen non- denominational four-year colleges accredited by the American Association of Bible Colleges with enrollment of less than 500 were the target of a study conducted by Gannett (1981). The purpose of her investigation was the determination of the perceptions of students, faculty members, and administrators regarding the effectiveness of ten selected student services. This study revolved around the following research questions: 1) What is the effectiveness of student personnel services at AANBC accredited non-denomina- tional four-year colleges with a student body of less than 500 as viewed by students, faculty, and administrators? 2) Will there be any differences in the effectiveness of student personnel services at AABC accredited non—denominational four-year colleges with student populations of less than 500 as perceived by students, faculty, and administrators? 3) Will there be any differences in the effectiveness of student personnel services among the AABC accredited non-denominational four-year colleges with enrollments of less than 500 as perceived by students, faculty and administrators, and by students grouped by sex, size of college, place of residence and class level? A modified questionnaire modeled after Mahler's "Student Personnel Services as you See Them" was used by Gannett to determine the perceptions of the sampled three 78 groups in regard to ten student services at the selected thirteen colleges. Ten student personnel services were included in Gannett's research. These services were: health services, counseling services, housing, financial aid services, placement services, student activities, student discipline, food services, new student orientation and academic-social services. Ten Two-Factor Anovas were utilized to examine thirty null hypotheses which were intended to deal with the differences in the perceptions held by students, faculty, and administrators; the differences among the thirteen colleges; and the interaction effects. The Ten Four-Factor Anovas were done to test 150 null hypotheses intended to examine student responses by four factors: sex, size of institution, place of residence, and class level. Based on the findings of her study, Gannett concluded that: 1) Students', faculties', and administrators' views differed significantly on only four of the ten services; 2) Although there were many differences among the surveyed colleges, no systematic significant differences stood out; 3) Few significant differences in opinions among student sub-categories were identified; and 4) The three groups perceived the ten student services to some extent effective. Byrts (1983) conducted a study designed to identify sampled undergraduate students' perceptions concerning eleven student services in terms of the importance, use, 79 and satisfaction of these services at Florida State University and to utilize the information given by the participants to evaluate the effectiveness of the listed services. Byrts' (1983) investigations' focal points were three research questions posed to determine whether there were significant differences between the perceptions of student services by gender, between and among student perceptions by class level, and between student perceptions by race in regard to student personnel services. A questionnaire developed by Byrts was administered to the selected students to record their views toward the eleven services. He employed one-way multivariate and univariate analysis of variance to test the obtained data. The findings of this inquiry showed that there were significant differences in the perceptions of students when they grouped according to class level regarding the importance, use, and satisfaction of student personnel services. But when the students were classified by sex, significant differences were found on the perceptual variables of use and satisfaction. With respect to race as it related to importance, Byrts found that race was not a significant factor in determining student perceptions regarding student personnel services. Significant differences were confirmed on the constructs of importance and use, but no significant differences were reported on 80 satisfaction in nine of the eleven studied students personnel services. However, it was safe for Byrts to conclude, based on his study results, that students considered student services as important elements for their college education. According to Michelich (1977), modified versions of Fitzgerald's student personnel services questionnaire were employed by Johnson (1968), Jones (1972), and Shuman (1972) with different groups (p. 30). The perceptions of faculty and student personnel workers at Colorado State College were compared in Johnson's study (1968). The conclusion reached by Johnson (1968) was that "there were fewer differences in perception than is generally thought, but that faculty were often unwilling or unable to judge the effectiveness of the student personnel services offered." In his study of the perceptions held by faculty, administrators, and student personnel workers at Arizona State College, Shuman (1972) found agreement between the three groups as to "student personnel point of view" but the attitudes of both the administrators and student personnel administrators showed more closeness to each other than faculty perceptions did. But the study indicated that administrators' and student personnel workers' attitudes toward the services showed more close 81 agreement between these two groups than did the faculty's perceptions on "all dimensions" (p. 31). In 1980, AL-Omran made a study to determine the perceptions of present and preferred student personnel services held by administrators, faculty, and students in junior colleges in Saudi Arabia. This was the only study of student personnel services done at junior colleges in Saudi Arabia. AL-Omran (1980) developed a perception survey questionnaire and analyzed the data according to a five-point Likert scale. The questionnaire included 36 items which were grouped in terms of nine areas: student personnel, admissions, orientation, counseling, disciplinary programs, student activities, school governance, housing, and food services (p. 60). The findings of AL-Omran study revealed that: 1) Generally, students were dissatisfied with the present services and they wanted improvement; 2) Faculty perceptions were closer to those of students than to the perceptions of administrators and administrators were, in general, satisfied with the then present services; 3) The three groups' responses indicated that they were undecided about the adequate coordination between the student personnel program and the academic program; and 4) Significant differences in the perceptions of the three groups were found in counseling, student activities, and school governance. However, this study's findings showed that in general the three groups favored a substantial change in most of 82 the studied services, but the students responses showed stronger desire for change than the other two groups. AL-Omran concluded that all three groups were in agreement that there was a need for change, that the services were not effective, that these services should be improved profoundly, and that communication between the three groups were lacking. Among others, he recommended that periodical evaluation should be undertaken to ensure improvement (p. 124). SHEEQII This chapter contains a review of the literature that relates to the study of student personnel services in the United States and Saudi Arabia. The methods of study, the methods of analysis and the conclusions of the various authors were also reviewed. Chapter IV will address the procedures used in the collection and analysis of data for this study. CHAPTER IV PROCEDURES W The primary purpose of this investigation was to ascertain the perceptions of students, faculty and student personnel staff toward student personnel services at King Faisal University (KFU) in Saudi Arabia. The secondary aims were to utilize the information obtained from these three groups, and some student subgroups; to assess the existing student services program; and to identify any changes or additional services needed to improve the present program as suggested by this study. After the idea and the setting of the investigation were decided upon by the investigator, and initially approved by the Doctoral Guidance Committee Chair, approval of the study was sought from the vice-rector for academic affairs at KFU. A request was delivered to the rector's office. An approval for conducting the study at KFU was received from the acting dean-deanship of graduate studies in December of 1984 (See Appendix B). In selecting an appropriate research method for this investigation, a number of similarly-designed studies with compatible purposes and problems and a number of respected publications on educational research methodologies were closely examined. The descriptive cross-sectional survey 83 84 method was chosen for this study because it is generally recognized by many educational research writers as a suitable tool in educational evaluation and studies (Hillway, 1956, p. 197-198). wrenn (1951) advocated this method as one which can be used to determined whether specific services are in existence, whether they are being performed effectively, and the attitudes of providers and users toward these services (p. 448). Babbie (1973) described the survey method as logical, deterministic, general, parsimonious and specific (P. 45-48). W The target population for this study consisted of three groups: 1) All full-time faculty members (assistant professors and above); 2) All undergraduate students (except freshmen); and 3) All student affairs staff who were employed or enrolled in KFU, in Saudi Arabia, in the first term of the 1984-85 academic year and who had already spent at least one academic year enrolled at KFU at the time of distribution of the questionnaire. New faculty members and freshmen were omitted as it was assumed that they would not be sufficiently familiar with the student personnel services being investigated in the present study. Pinsky and Marks (1980) in their study 85 on the perceptions of student personnel services at a major land grant university also omitted freshmen for a similar reason. W The sampling of the population is a very important step in conducting a successful survey study. The two preperties of a "good" sample as described by VanDalen (1979, p. 130) and Billway (1956, p. 185) were taken into account. These two properties were a representatiion of the whole population and a sufficient sample size. These two elements greatly influence the findings of any investigation. Hence, to ensure a representative and unbiased sample, the researcher employed the stratified random sampling method to select the sample. Fourteen strata, as shown in Figure 1, were established based on three main strata variables. The first stratifying variable level was faculty, the second was students, and the third was student personnel staff. The student variable was further divided by sex of the student. The two groups as divided by gender were male and female. The next level was place of residence while attending college. That is, whether the student lived on- or off-campus. The final level was determined by the class standing of the student - sophomore, junior or senior. Thus, the first and second 86 833:5 gouache a «Home 3 2 2 2 2 a a a. e m e m _ r _ , _ r ” _. __ _‘ n+u8 middle «game «3.3.5 5836 mason 3588 «is N ’ has 3883 sauna 553m 87 variables became faculty and student personnel staff. The other twelve variables were the lowest strata of the student variable - class standing divided by gender and place of residence. From the aforementioned population, a study sample comprised of these three groups was drawn through the utilization of the stratified random sampling technique. The sample representing faculty members was drawn randomly using a table of random numbers. A sample of 50 faculty members was drawn from KFU's payroll records for the 1984-85 academic year. The first names of assistant professors and above who had spent at least one academic year on KFU campus at the time of administering the questionnaire were listed alphabetically. Secondly, a random sample of fifty candidates was selected from this list using a table of random numbers. The student sample used in this investigation was drawn from King Faisal University undergraduate enrollment records for the first term of the 1984-85 academic year. The students were grouped into twelve strata as explained above, and as shown in Figure 1. Once they were divided into sex, place of residence and class standing, they were listed alphabetically in each of the twelve strata. .A sample of 290 students which included students representing 88 each subgroup was drawn randomly using a table of random numbers. With respect to the student personnel staff, the whole population was included in the study because the total population was only fifteen persons. All of the responses were obtained using the "Student Services Perceptions Survey" (See Appendix A). Winn A "Student Services Perceptions Survey" was constructed to elicit faculty members' student personnel staff and students' conscious opinions regarding the student personnel services and activities at KFU. This inquiry form was derived from a thorough examination and review of instruments previously used to study student personnel services in the United States. Although a number of excellent instruments already exist, none were found to be totally applicable to Saudi universities and KFU in particular. Since no instruments were found, the following unpublished instruments were used as the basic reference questionnaires, with some statement modifications and changes, to fit the local situation: Fitzgerald's (1959) "Student Personnel Services Questionnaire"; Pinsky's (1978) "Perceptions of Student Personnel Services"; Mahler's (1955) "Student Personnel Services Scale"; Emerson's (1971) 89 "Evaluation of Selected College Services"; and Abbott's (1976) "Questionnaire". The "Student Services Perceptions Survey" consisted of four sections. Section I was designed to obtain demographic data selected for this study. Section II addresses the respondents' overall perceptions of the quality of student personnel services at KFU. This section contains ten statements whose responses were distributed on a five-point Likert Scale. The third section includes fifty-nine items representing nine functions found in most student personnel programs in higher educational institutions. These major areas are: admissions and registration, housing services, counseling services, health services, feed services, student activities, orientation, special services (such as provision of bookstore, student associations, and student center), and placement and financial aid. The final section asked the respondents for any comments, recommendations, or suggestions they deem necessary to improve present student personnel services at KFU. In Section II, the subjects were instructed to respond to ten statements indicating their perceptions of the overall quality of the student personnel program at KFU by checking one of five statements on a five-point Likert Scale. They are as follows: 90 5) Strongly Agree 4) Agree 3) Fairly Agree 2) Disagree 1) Strongly Disagree For each of the fifty-nine statements representing the nine areas in Section III, the respondents were requested to indicate: 1) How important each service is to college student education; 2) Whether a service is provided by the university; and 3) How they rate the effectiveness of each service as it is performed at KFU. Each statement was followed by three separate reply scales: 1) Importance 2) Provision of each service 3) Effectiveness of services However, understanding how important these services are to students, the awareness of the existence of student services, and whether these services are performed satisfactorily is a very important step for making "most programmatic decisions" possible (Barr, Keating and Associates, 1985, p. 142). The following scales and an arbitrary numerical weighting were used to measure importance, provision and effectiveness: 91 A. In your view, how important is this service to students in colleges and universities? 5. very Important 4. Important 3. Uncertain 2. Not Important 1. Not Important at All B. Have provisions for this service been made at KFU? 3. Yes 2. No 1. Don't Know C. According to your experience, how effective- 1y this service is performed at King Faisal University? 5. very Effective 4. Effective 3. Uncertain 2. Not Effective 1. Not Effective at All The means of responses for overall quality, importance, and effectiveness are interpreted according to the following criteria: 09311;! 4.50 - 5.00 3050 - 4.49 2050 "" 3.49 1050 - 20‘9 1.00 - 1.49 IERQIIIRES 4.50 " 5000 3.50 - 4.49 2.50 - 3.49 1.50 - 2.49 1.00 - 10‘9 Very good quality Good quality Fairly good quality Poor quality Very poor quality Very important Important Uncertain Not important Not important at all 92 W 4.50 5.00 Very effective 3.50 - 4.49 Effective 2.50 - 3.49 Uncertain 1.50 - 2.49 Not effective 1.00 - 1.49 . Not effective at all Frequencies and percentages are reported to indicate the direction of respondents' awareness of provisions of student personnel services. The arbitrary proportion of two-thirds used by Dunlap (1970) and Kamm (1950) was used in this study to indicate a strong direction of the awareness of respondents regarding the provisions of the 51 services. Of the fifty-nine services included, eight services which were not available at KFU had been included in this study in order to determine their importance to college student education. However, those eight services were excluded from data analysis when the responses on effect- iveness and provision of these services were analyzed. The services were imbedded in Items 18, 20, 34, 45, 55, 57, 66 and 68. These items were included based on the recommenda- tion made by Gilbert (1950) regarding questionnaire survey used in evaluating student personnel work. He pointed out that: There is one point in connection with Questionnaire surveys which I feel has not been adequately emphasized and that is that a student's responses to a Questionnaire necessarily be influenced by the knowledge which the student possesses, not only of the services which are actually available but of those which 93 theoretically could be made available. (Gilbert, 1950, P. 528) To ensure clarity and relevance of this questionnaire, it was preliminarily presented to some Saudi Doctoral students at Michigan State University and to two research consultants in the office of Research Consultation, College (of Education. Their suggestions were incorporated in the instrument. However, before it was administered to the participants at KFU, it was also tried in interviews with eight students and three faculty members at KFU, Saudi Arabia. They were requested to indicate their observations regarding any misunderstood or ambiguous items or misleading instructions. The Vice-Dean for Student Affairs was also interviewed, and his suggestions together with those of students and faculty members were incorporated. As a result, some items were omitted and others were added. W The instrument used in this study was distributed to the sample subjects on the KFU Main Campus. The researcher initially planned to mail the questionnaires to the selected sample subjects, but the researcher discovered that addresses were unavailable. Thus, he contacted the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs to secure a way of reaching the students. 94 It was decided that on-campus mailing through the Office of the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs was the best way to distribute the questionnaires. A total of 355 questionnaires including 290 students, 15 student personnel staff, and 50 faculty members were distributed. A cover letter accompanied each booklet of the questionnaire to clarify the purpose of the study and to assure the participants that the information they provided would be kept confidential and used only for the purposes of this study; Furthermore, the letter informed the respondents that their participation was on a voluntary basis and that their returning of the completed questionnaire would be considered as consent to participate. (h: each questionnaire, explicit instructions, including illustrative examples, were provided to ensure that participants understand how to record their responses. Tables 1 and 2 showed the number and percent- ages of distributed and usable returned questionnaire forms according to the three major groups and student subgroups respectively. The overall percentage of usable returned forms was 84 percent. Utilizing the questionnaire for collecting the data for this type of a survey has been advocated by researchers 95 Table l The Number of Questionnaire Forms Sent and Returned According to Status of Respondents Questionnaire—— Percent Group sent—MW Student 290 243 84% Faculty 50 42 84% Student Personnel Staff .15 .13 811 TOTAL 355 298 84% Table 2 The Number of Questionnaire Forms Sent and Returned According to Subgroups of Students W Student Percent subgroup. fins—MW Male Student 156 130 83% Female Student 134 113 84% On-Campus 160 151 91% Off-Campus 130 92 71% Sophomore 92 79 86% Junior 96 83 86% Senior 102 81 798 96 and writers. According to Kerlinger (1973) the question- naire has various advantages, and if it is adequately constructed and pretested, the questionnaire has greater uniformity of stimulus and hence greater reliability. He felt that the questionnaire as a tool could be administered to large numbers relatively easily and, if anonymous, it encourages frankness and honesty. Furthermore, it could be mailed to participants and is less costly than interviews (p. 487). Gilbert (1950) described it as one of the few practical and not prohibitively expensive tools for collecting data (p. 528). Win There were four outcomes (dependent variables) and predictors (independent variables) included in this study. The outcomes were quality, importance, effectiveness and provision of student personnel services. The predictors were status of respondents, student's gender, place of residence, and academic level.

The data obtained from administering the instrument, "Student Services Perceptions Survey," were coded and transferred to computer coding forms. The coded data were then stored in computer memory through cards. The "Statistical Package for the Social Sciences" (SPSS) and the MSU main frame computer were used to facilitate the applications of several statistical techniques, both descriptive and inferential. The descriptive statistics were used to examine the means of quality, importance, and effectiveness of overall student personnel services and also for each area of the services according to status of respondents, student's gender, place of residence, and academic level. The means gave the ratings of quality, importance, and effectiveness of the services. The standard deviation, the range, and the minimum and maximum scores indicated the variability of respondents' ratings. To compare the equality of means of quality, the scores on ten items related to quality of services were 101 lumped together. Analysis of variance was used to test the equality of the means for quality, importance, and effectiveness. There were 59 items which were related to importance and 51 items related to effectiveness of the services. Tukey's post-hoc test was employed to determine the pairs of means which were significantly different. The Chi-square technique was used to see which response patterns differed for various groups and subgroups concerning their awareness of the provisions of the 51 student personnel services which were included in this study. SNNMUEL The procedures involved in this research, including the methods, the sample, the instrument construction, the data collection procedures and the techniques used to analyze the data were discussed in this chapter. Chapter V contains the analysis of the data including a discussion of the results of the questionnaire, and an explanation of the statistics used to test the hypotheses. CEAPTER.V DATA ANALYSIS The purpose of this chapter is to report the results of the analysis of the data. The major purpose of this study was to compare the perceptions held by students, faculty, and student affairs staff regarding student personnel services at King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. The study was designed to answer four basic questions: 1. What is the overall quality of student services at KFU as perceived by students, faculty, and student affairs staff? To what extent are student personnel services perceived as important for college student education at KFU by students, faculty, and student affairs staff, by male and female student, by on—campus and off-campus students, and by sophomores, juniors and seniors? To what extent are student personnel services, performed at KFU, perceived as being effective by students, faculty, and student affairs? What differences are there in the perceptions regarding the provision of the student personnel services by students, faculty, and student affairs staff?, by male and female students? by on-campus and off-campus students?, and by sophomores, juniors, and seniors? W In view of the nature of the variables, two types of statistical analysis were used in the study to test the research hypothesis. The following steps were carried out in anayzing the data: 102 103 l. The 59 items in Section III of the Questionnaire were lumped into nine categories representing the nine areas of services. The process of lumping was based on the fact that several items were asked about one specific area (category) of student personnel services. 2. Univariate Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the hypotheses regarding the quality, importance, and effectiveness of student personnel services. 3. Tukey's post-hoc procedure was used to identify groups that were significantly different in their perception regarding the quality, importance, and effectiveness. 4. Chi-square test for proportion was used to test the hypotheses regarding the provision of student personnel services. The test was carried out separately for each item. The results of data analysis are reported in twelve sections. The first three sections deal with the overall quality, the overall importance, and the overall effectiveness. The next nine sections concerned specific services, namely admission and registration, counseling and guidance, housing services, food services, health services, student activities, orientation program, special services, and financial aids. The importance of the services was measured by using a total of 59 items which were related to the importance of student personnel services. As for the effectiveness and provisions of the services, 51 items related to the effectiveness and provisions of the existing services at KFU were used to measure effectiveness and awareness of provisions. The analysis of the responses to 104 open-ended items in the fourth section of the questionnaire ‘was omitted due to insufficient information obtained from the respondents. The results reported for the ANOVA included the number of respondents (n), mean score, the standard deviation (S.D.), the F-Value (F), the actual level of significance (p), and the significant level for this study (NS: non- significance, significant at x=.05, ** significant at -.01, and *** significant at .,001), The results reported for the chi-square test included the item, the xz-value, the degrees of freedom (df), the actual level of significance (p), and the significant level for this study ( =.05). Results W The overall quality of student personnel service was measured by the average score of ten items which were related to the perceptions of the quality of the services. The first null hypothesis states that there will be no differences between the perceptions of students, faculty, and staff regarding overall quality of student personnel services. Analysis of variance and Tukey's post-hoe procedure were used to test for significance of the differences and to identify the groups which were significantly different. 105 The results, as shown in Table 3, indicate that there were significant differences in the perceptions of quality of student personnel services according to the status of respondents, students' gender, place of residence, and academic level. Tukey's procedure revealed that the students rated the overall quality of student personnel services significantly lower than faculty and staff, while the perceptions of the faculty and the staff did not differ significantly. The results indicated that male and off-campus students rated the overall quality of student personnel services significantly higher than female and on-campus students, while sophomores rated the quality higher than did the juniors.

CHAPTBR‘VI SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS SEEEQLX EELEQEQ The major purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of undergraduate students, student personnel staff, and faculty members regarding their views of the student personnel services at King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. The minor purpose of this study was to utilize the information derived from this study to evaluate the current student personnel programs and to determine any needed changes and/or improvement. W The specific questions investigated were: 1. What is the overall quality of student services at KFU as perceived by students, faculty, and student affairs staff? 2. To what extent are student personnel services perceived as important for college student education at KFU by students, faculty, and student affairs staff, by male and female students, by on-campus and off-campus students, and by sophomores, juniors and seniors? 3. To what extent are student personnel services performed at KFU perceived as effective by students, faculty, and student personnel staff? 4. What differences are there in the perceptions regarding the provision of the student personnel services by students, faculty, and student affairs staff? by male and female students? by 201 202 on-campus and off-campus students? and by sophomores, juniors, and seniors? W The sample of this study consisted of undergraduate students, faculty members, and student personnel staff at King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. Stratified random sampling was used in the selection of 298 respondents for this study. Four stratification variables were used to stratify the population into 14 strata: 1) status of respondents, 2) gender of student, 3) place of residence of student, and 4) academic level of student. There were 243 undergraduate students, 42 faculty members, and 13 student personnel staff members included in the sample. Data for this study was collected by means of a questionnaire, "Student Services Perceptions Survey," prepared by the researcher. The survey instrument consisted of four sections. Section I was designed to obtain demographic data. Section 11 measured the perceptions of overall quality of student personnel services. The third section measured the perceptions of respondents regarding the importance of 59 selected student personnel services. The perceptions of effectiveness and awareness of provisions were measured by using 51 existing student personnel services at KFU. Section IV of the survey consisted of open-ended items which gave students, faculty members, and staff the opportunity to make comments 203 and/or suggestions concerning any aspect of the student personnel services investigated. Data obtained were first analyzed to obtain descriptive statistics and to determine missing values. A11 missing values were then replaced by their corresponding subgroup means. Analysis of variance and Tukey test were used to examine the differences between subgroup means of overall quality, importance, and effectiveness according to status of respondents, student's gender, place of residence, and academic level. The analyses were carried out both for the overall quality, importance, and effectiveness and also for the importance and effectiveness of each of the nine areas of student personnel services. The chi—square test was used to examine the relationship between the perception of provision and respondent's characteristics for each of the 51 services. findings The overall average perception of quality of student personnel services for the entire sample was 2.85, which is equivalent to "fairly good" according to the original scale of measurement of quality. The average perception of importance was 4.36, which is in between "important" and "very important". The overall average perception of 204 effectiveness was 2.38, which is equivalent to "not effective". The results of statistical tests indicate that there were significant differences in the perceptions of quality, importance, and effectiveness of student personnel services between students, faculty, and student personnel staff. The results also indicate that the students' ratings of quality, importance, and effectiveness were significantly lower than those of faculty and staff. The faculty and staff showed similar ratings. The overall perceptions of importance of the services were not significantly different when they were compared according to students' gender and place of residence. Comparisons according to students' academic level were found significant with sophomores and juniors perceiving the importance as slightly less than the seniors. The overall perceptions of effectiveness were significantly different when they were compared according to students' gender and place of residence with the ratings of female and on-campus students being significantly lower than those of male and off-campus students. The comparisons according to students' academic level were not significantly different. The awareness of provisions of various student personnel services were analyzed according to the responses 205 given by students, faculty, and staff on the availability of 51 different functions. These functions were further classified into nine areas of services. The results indicate that students, faculty, and staff were aware-the existence of 19 (37%) of the services, were unaware of the existence of 10 (20%) of the services, and were uncertain about of the existence of 22 (43%) of the services. The comparison of awareness of provision of student personnel services according to respondent status and students' place of residence showed the highest number of significant comparisons (39 services or 76%, and 38 services or 74% respectively). Comparisons according to students' gender yielded 21 (41%) which were significantly different. The least number of significant comparisons were those according to students' academic level (13 services or 25%). The results indicate that the awareness of provisions were not very much affected by students' academic level. However, the perceptions differ significantly between the on- and off-campus students and between male and female students. We): The mean of importance of admission and registration services for the whole sample was 4.51 indicating high importance of this function. The off-campus students and 206 seniors rated the importance of this service significantly higher than the on-campus students and the juniors. The overall mean of effectiveness of admission and registration services was 2.29 indicating low effectiveness of this function. Students rated effectiveness lower than the faculty and staff. Female and on-campus students expressed lower effectiveness of this service than male and off-campus students. Seniors and juniors rated effectiveness loewr than the rating of the sophomores. There were seven services included in this study for admission and registration. The respondents agreed on the existence of only one service - the provision of facilities and personnel during registration. They disagreed on the existence of the services of admission counselors. No conclusions can be reached about the existence of the following services: prior-to-admission information, prior- to-registration information, contacts between advisors and registration office personnel, student records, and contacts with perspective students and secondary schools. W The high overall mean of importance (4.37) of these services indicated that counseling and guidance services were highly needed. Further analysis indicated that there were no significant differences in the ratings of importance between all groups. The low overall mean of 207 effectiveness (1.75) indicated very poor performance in the administration of these services. The results of the chi-square analysis indicated that faculty and off-campus students rated the effectiveness higher than students, staff, and on-campus students respectively, while comparisons according to students' gender and academic level failed to detect any differences in their perceptions of effectiveness. The majority of the faculty, staff, and students were not aware of the provisions of two services in counseling and guidance included in this study. The services were interviewing students desiring to withdraw from colleges or the university, and counseling for emotional problems. W The overall mean of 4.43 regarding the importance of housing services indicated the high importance of these services. While there were no significant differences in the perceptions of importance among students, statistical tests showed that faculty and staff rated the importance of housing services higher than the students. The overall mean of 2.58 regarding the effectiveness of the services indicated an average effectiveness in the administration of these services. Faculty, female students, and on-campus students rated the effectiveness lower than the staff, male students, and off-campus students respectively. 208 Comparisons according to students' academic level showed no significant differences. As for provisions, six out of eight separate services included in this study were perceived as available by the majority of the students and staff. The services were providing facilities for married student housing, allocation of apartments to married students, allowing students to participate in the administration of student housing, providing quiet and well-maintained living units, and providing first aid equipment and five extinguishers in student housing units. One of the services, providing housing unit counseling staff, was perceived as not existing, while the provisions of educational, social and recreational programs received mixed agreement as to their existence. No conclusions can be made about the provision of these services. W The results of analyses indicated that all respondents expressed agreement on the high importance of food services to students (mean of 4.52). Statistical tests showed no differences in the perceptions for all groups. The overall mean of 2.48 for the effectiveness indicated that the effectiveness of food services was about average. Students, female students and on-campus students, however, rated the effectiveness lower than staff, male students 209 and off-campus students respectively. Comparisons according to students' academic level showed insignificant differences in the perceptions of effectiveness of food services. The awareness of provisions were in favor of the existence of two of the four services included in this study - provision of well-balanced meals and opportunities for students' participation in the administration of food services. The responses indicated that in general the respondents expressed some uncertainty as to the existence of the other two services -- approaching students for comments and suggestions related to food services and the provision of a well-maintained cafeteria for female students. Wires The overall mean of importance of health services was 4.20, indicating the high importance of health services. Students and on-campus students expressed lower degrees of importance of these services when compared to faculty and off-campus students respectively. Comparisons according to students' gender and academic level were not significant. The overall mean of 2.73 for the effectiveness of health services indicated that the effectiveness was about average. Further improvement is required in the administration of health services to increase its 210 effectiveness. Students and on-campus students rated the effectiveness lower than faculty and off-campus students respectively. Comparisons according to students' gender and academic level failed to show significant differences. Two provisions of services included in this study received favorable ratings as to their existence - physical examinations for new students and regular medical services for all students. The respondents were not aware about the existence of preventive medicine for students. W All groups of respondents placed high importance on student activities. The overall mean was 4.32. Students rated the importance of student activities lower than faculty. The differences in perceptions between student groups were very small. The overall mean of the effectiveness of these services was 2.24, indicating a rather low degree of effectiveness of student activity services. Students showed significantly lower perceptions of effectiveness than male and offficampus students. Comparison according to students' academic level was insignificant. As for provisions, from 13 services considered for this study, only five of them received strong awareness of the existence of the services. The services were provision of cultural lectures, provision of religious activity, 211 provision of social activities, and providing opportunities and facilities to participate in intercollegiate intramural sport activities. The majority of the respondents were unaware of the existence of two services: provision of male and female student centers with recreational facilities, giving the students the opportunity to decide on student activity policies and selecting their leaders. No conclusions can be made about the existence of five of the services since the responses were almost equally distributed between "yes", "no", and “not sure'. Those services were provision of student activities for training and developing leadership, planning for a balanced and well-rounded program of student activities, existence of student organizations for the furtherance of social contacts and competence, involvement of faculty members in student organizations, and the provision of a adequate athletic facilities for all students. Wm The overall means of importance and effectiveness of the orientation program for all groups of respondents were 4.46 and 1.87 respectively. This indicated the high importance and low effectiveness of this program. However, students and faculty rated the importance of the ‘orientation program higher than the staff. The students expressed a very low rating of effectiveness compared to 212 either faculty or staff. Female and on-campus students rated the effectiveness of this service lower than male and off-campus students respectively. Of the four services included in this study, one received strong awareness indicating the absence of the service of employing upper class students to help new students get acquainted with the university during the orientation period. The existence of the other three services was uncertain due to the diversity of the responses. Those services were allocating several days early in each term for orientation purposes to assist new students feel important as part of the university's community. Distribution of booklets and other materials during orientation days to help new students understand new environment and to adjust to it, and provision of an orientation program that would help students become acquainted with the university's services, rules, regulations, staff, and physical facilities. We The overall means of importance and effectiveness of special services were 4.25 and 2.51 respectively. This indicated a high degree of importance and low rating of effectiveness of these services. The perceptions of importance did not differ very much between different groups of respondents. However, students perceived 213 effectiveness very much lower than both the faculty and staff. Among students, on-campus students rated the effectiveness lower than off-campus students. The perceptions were not significantly different when they were compared according to students' gender, and academic level. As for the provisions, two out of seven separate services that were included in this study, received high percentages of awareness of their existence. The services were the availability of a bookstore and a well-maintained mosque on campus. The responses indicated that two of the services were not available. These services are giving assistance to special problems of non-Saudi students, and providing an opportunity for students to publish their own newsletter on campus. The diversity in responses about the existence of the three other services indicated that the majority of respondents were uncertain about their existence. The services are the cooperation between university and religious groups which provide religious activities for students, providing information on campus traffic and parking regulations for students, and coordinating with students to organize transportation regulations and schedules. W223. The overall means of importance and effectiveness of financial aid services were 4.30 and 2.48 respectively, 214 indicating high importance and low rating of effectiveness of these services. The responses indicated that all groups of respondents equally agreed on the high importance of the services. .Students perceived effectiveness lower than faculty and staff. Among students, the on-campus students showed lower effectiveness than off-campus students. Comparisons by students' gender and academic level were insignificant. The provision of assistance to students who need to obtain part-time jobs were perceived as available. The availability of student personnel staff members to counsel students (n1 financial problems and concerns was also perceived as not being available. The respondents showed inconclusive direction in their awareness regarding the provision of a clear cut policy for awarding financial aid to students. W The overall quality of student personnel services at King Faisal university was perceived by students, faculty members, and student personnel staff as fairly good. However, students perceived the overall quality of the services as lower than faculty members or student personnel staff. While most students, faculty members, and student personnel staff perceived all services as highly important, they perceived the services as being ineffectively performed. 215 The means of importance and effectiveness and the provisions of services in various areas are presented in Table 76. Relatively, food and admission and registration services received highest rankings of importance, while health services received the lowest rating. As for effectiveness, housing and health services were rated as being the most effectively performed services, while counseling and guidance services were rated as the least effectively performed services. As for provisions, from the total of 51 currently existing services, 19 services were acknowledged as available, 22 services were acknowledged as uncertain of their availability, while 10 of the services were confirmed as unavailable. The percentages of significant comparisons as shown in Table 77 indicate that status of respondents and students' place of residence were the most important predictors of the perceptions of respondents regarding student personnel services as compared to students' gender or academic level.

General conclusions are those drawn from all respondents. Specific conclusions deal with a specific group or service. W 1. The overall quality of student personnel services at King Faisal University is perceived by students, faculty members and student personnel staff as fairly good. Students, faculty members, and student personnel staff perceive all student personnel services as a highly important aspect of higher education. -Similar results were revealed in the studies done by Rackham (1950), Fitzgerald (1959), Zimmerman (1963), Dunlap (1970), Pinsky (1978), Al-Omran (1981), and Byrts (1983). Students, faculty members, and student personnel staff perceive the performance of orientation, counseling, and guidance services at King Faisal University as ineffective. An approximately equal number of important student personnel services are perceived as either existing or uncertain. Status of respondents and students' place of residence are the more important factors when which influence the perceptions of student personnel services. Students' academic level is the least influential factor. Many findings indicated that the participants' responses showed strong direction toward uncertainty and especially faculty members who, in many cases, reported uncertainty about the existence of various services. So, a lack of publicity and/or ineffective participation on the part of faculty members was evidently displayed in this study. 218 Wireless Students perceive the overall quality, importance and effectiveness of student personnel services lower than faculty members or student personnel staff. 7A-similar pattern of perceptions of overall quality was also reported in Pinsky's (1978) and Pinsky and Marks' (1980) studies. Student perceptions more closely approached the perceptions of the faculty members than those of the personnel services staff. This result confirms the findings revealed by Hendry's (1977) study. Services in all areas are rated as highly important. Food, admission and registration, and orientation services received the highest ratings. Housing, health and food services received relatively higher ratings in effectiveness, while counseling and guidance services received the lowest rating in effectiveness. Seniors apparently consider admission and registration, student activity, and special services more important than juniors and sophomores. This study revealed that students were not being involved in decisions regarding policies, rules and regulations that affected their conduct. A similar result was found in Dunlop's (1970) study. This study revealed that students, faculty members, and student personnel staff differ significantly in their perceptions of importance, effectiveness, and provisions of most of the student personnel services. This confirms the findings from McIver's (1976) and Pinsky's (1978) studies. Significant differences were found in the perceptions of importance, effectiveness, and provisions of some student personnel services when they were compared according to gender and place of residence of students. These results were similar to those found in Robinsons's (1979) study. 219 W Based on the findings of this research and the review of literature, the following recommendations are brought to the attention of King Faisal University in particular, and the other universities in general. 1. 3. Ensuring the effectiveness of a student personnel program at a college: A college should formulate and agree upon the goals and objectives of its student personnel services through appropriate institutional governance structure. Faculty, student personnel staff, and students should be involved in this process. Disseminating information about the available ~services‘on campus should be increased among faculty, staff and students. This will strengthen the interest and awareness about the importance of these services. This can be achieved through lectures, well-designed brochures, pamphlets, and correspondence. Facilitating a variety of student activities such as a student association. Students through this association can participate in conducting activities on-campus while contributing to leadership training and development. Some faculty members and staff should become involved in helping students plan, conduct, and evaluate student activities and programs. The student personnel department should employ counselors with specialized functions to deal effectively with various student problems. Prior to admission, information on the university's requirements, programs, activities, regulations and services should be provided to prospective students. Admission counselors should be made available to help students decide on the choice of programs. Prior to registration, information on class schedules and offerings should be provided to students and advisors. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 220 A counseling center should be provided with specialized counselors to work with students and faculty members on problems such as study habits, time scheduling, and other factors which may affect scholastic inefficiency. A diagnostic testing service should be made available to assist students in the determination of academic aptitudes, achievement, vocational interests, and personality development. Housing unit counseling staff should be provided to help students with problems and assist them in planning appropriate activities. Preventive medicine should be provided, including systematic examinations, programs of inoculation, and health information through lectures and other means. A student center should be provided for male and female students. It should include a small cafeteria and some recreational, social, cultural, and artistic facilities. Opportunities should be given to students to decide student activity policies and in selecting student leaders while helping students to learn and practice decision making. Remedial services and study skills information should be provided to student groups. An opportunity should be provided for students to publish their own newsletter on campus. Information about available jobs, job market and salaries related to different academic programs should be made available to students. Providing orientation for new students each term to help them become familiar with the available services on-campus, and to help them overcome anxiety produced by the unfamiliar environment. 221 MW Based on the findings of this research and review of literature, the following recommendations for further research are suggested. 1. Further research should be conducted across campuses and universities in Saudi Arabia regarding the student personnel services. A more thorough research should be done to determine the causes which contribute to the differences in quality, importance, effectiveness, and provisions of student personnel services between faculty, staff, and students; between male and female students; between on-campus and offecampus students; and between sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Research should be conducted to ascertain whether university communities in Saudi Arabia understand the goals and objectives of student personnel services. Research should be dedicated to investigating individual programs in detail, especially such programs as counseling and guidance, orientation, student activities, and some special services. SQEEBIX The final chapter contains the summary which includes the purpose, methodology, and findings of the present study. General and specific conclusions were also presented in this chapter. Finally, based on the findings of this study, recommendations for program implementation and further research were suggested.
