Case description SaP pilot SWM

How can student surveys be more than just data collection? In this pilot, students were actively involved in shaping and promoting Inholland’s annual Student Well-being Monitor. They helped redesign the questionnaire, gave input on communication strategies, and shared insights from their own experiences. The collaboration led to a more inclusive and responsive monitor—and opened up new ways of thinking about student well-being. “We were treated as equal partners, and that made us feel responsible for the outcome,” said one student. The project also revealed challenges: maintaining involvement, online collaboration, and time pressure. Still, the pilot showed that engaging students as partners in research strengthens both the process and its impact.
