Book Synopsis Diversity and Education Benefits by : Serge Herzog
Download or read book Diversity and Education Benefits written by Serge Herzog and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-04-12 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Campus climate studies and research on the impact of diversity in higher education abound. On closer examination, however, the corpus of findings on the role of diversity and how diversity is captured with campus climate surveys reveals both conceptual and methodological limitations. This volume of New Directions for Institutional Research addresses these limitations with the inclusion of studies by institutional research (IR) practitioners who make use of data that furnish new insights into the relationships among student diversity, student perception of campus climate, and student sociodemographic backgroundand how those relationships affect academic outcomes. Each chapter emphasizes how IR practitioners benefit from the conceptual and analytical approach laid out, and each chapter provides a framework to gauge the contribution of diversity to educational benefits. The findings revealed in this volume cast doubt on the benefits of student diversity purported in previous research. At a minimum, the influence of student diversity is neither linear nor unidirectional, but operates within a complex web of interrelated factors that shape the student experience. This is the 145th volume of New Directions for Institutional Research. Always timely and comprehensive, New Directions for Institutional Research provides planners and administrators in all types of academic institutions with guidelines in such areas as resource coordination, information analysis, program evaluation, and institutional management.

This book was released on 1997-09-19 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides practical insight and guidance to campus leaders who are attempting to accelerate the transformation of their campuses to meet the challenges and opportunities of the Knowledge Age. This insight is drawn from case studies and vignettes from nearly twenty campuses that have succeeded in leveraging the forces of transformation on their campuses. They have achieved this leverage through multifaceted change initiatives that involve a collection of actions: (1) developing vision and strategy for the Knowledge Age, (2) conducting campuswide dialogue on change, (3) dramatically enhancing information technology infrastructure and skills, (4) redirecting existing institutional processes, (5) crafting new learning processes and products, and (6) changing the campus culture. The volume concludes with a presentation of the five families of basic competencies necessary for particular academic programs or campuses to succeed in the twenty-first century: (1) planning and change processes operating at Knowledge Age standards of timeliness, customization, and flexibility; (2) advanced IT infrastructure and skills in its use; (3) a new generation of tools for learning, interactivity, certification of mastery, and personal productivity; (4) new financial paradigms; and (5) supercharged strategic alliances.This is the 94th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Institutional Research.

Book Synopsis Assessing Graduate and Professional Education: Current Realities, Future Prospects by : Jennifer Grant Haworth

This book was released on 1996-12-31 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade or so, the assessment movement has taken American higher education by storm. Legislative initiatives in many states have required public colleges and universities to implement programs that document institutional effectiveness and student development. Accrediting agencies have applied similar expectations to both public and private institutions. Despite its burgeoning popularity, the assessment movement has focused largely on undergraduate education, leaving institutional researchers, administrators, and faculty with scant information on methods for conducting assessments of graduate and professional education and a dearth of the results of such assessments. This volume of New Directions for Institutional Research is a step toward remedying the lack of attention given to the assessment of advanced-degree programs. It should be of value not only to professionals who are directly involved with such programs but also to inividuals who set policies that affect them. Many of the methodological issues and principles that the authors discuss will also be of value to professionals who work with assessment at the undergraduate level, as will the discussion of demand for advanced degrees. This is the 92nd issue of the quarterly journalNew Directions for Institutional Research.
