Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American community colleges represent a true success story. With their multiple missions, they have provided access and opportunity to millions of students. But community colleges are held accountable for their services and must be able to show that they are indeed serving their variety of students appropriately. This volume speaks of the multiplicity of data required to tell the community college story. The authors explore and detail how various sources—workforce data, market data, state-level data, federal data, and, of course, institutional data such as transcript files—all have something to say about the life of a community college. Much like an orchestral score, where the different parts played by individual instruments become music under the hands of a conductor, these data can be coordinated and assembled into a message that answers questions of student success and institutional effectiveness. This is the 153rd volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. 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.

Book Synopsis Benchmarking in Institutional Research by : Gary D. Levy
Download or read book Benchmarking in Institutional Research written by Gary D. Levy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-12-21 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the term benchmarking is commonplace nowadays in institutional research and higher education, less common, is a solid understanding of what it really means and how it has been, and can be, used effectively. This volume begins by defining benchmarking as “a strategic and structured approach whereby an organization compares aspects of its processes and/or outcomes to those of another organization or set of organizations to identify opportunities for improvement.” Building on this definition, the chapters provide a brief history of the evolution and emergence of benchmarking in general and in higher education in particular. The authors apply benchmarking to: Enrollment management and student success Institutional effectiveness The potential economic impact of higher education institutions on their host communities. They look at the use of national external survey data in institutional benchmarking and selection of peer institutions, introduce multivariate statistical methodologies for guiding that selection, and consider a novel application of baseball sabermetric methods. The volume offers a solid starting point for those new to benchmarking in higher education and provides examples of current best practices and prospective new directions. This is the 156th volume of this Jossey-Bass series. 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.
Book Synopsis Multilevel Modeling Techniques and Applications in Institutional Research by : Joe L. Lott
Download or read book Multilevel Modeling Techniques and Applications in Institutional Research written by Joe L. Lott and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-22 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multilevel modeling is an increasingly popular multivariate technique that is widely applied in the social sciences. Increasingly, practitioners are making instructional decisions based on results from their multivariate analyses, which often come from nested data that lend themselves to multilevel modeling techniques. As data-driven decision making becomes more critical to colleges and universities, multilevel modeling is a tool that will lead to more efficient estimates and enhance understanding of complex relationships. This volume illustrates both the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of multilevel modeling in IR. It introduces the fundamental concepts of multilevel modeling techniques in a conceptual and technical manner. Providing a range of examples of nested models that are based on linear and categorical outcomes, it then offers important suggestions about presenting results of multilevel models through charts and graphs. This is the 154th volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. 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.
Book Synopsis New Scholarship in Critical Quantitative Research, Part 2: New Populations, Approaches, and Challenges by : Ryan S. Wells
Download or read book New Scholarship in Critical Quantitative Research, Part 2: New Populations, Approaches, and Challenges written by Ryan S. Wells and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the second in a two-part series on differentiating approaches to quantitative research from more traditional positivistic and postpositivistic approaches. While the first volume provided an expanded conceptualization of critical quantitative inquiry, this volume concludes the series by: applying critical quantitative approaches to new populations of college students who are rarely addressed in institutional and higher education research, such as American Indian, Alaska Native, and students with disabilities, applying the principles of quantitative criticalism to advanced methods of statistical analysis, and discussing the variety of challenges to overcome and presenting a future research agenda using these methods. This work is of interest to institutional and higher education researchers who want to expand and critique new ways of thinking about the broad array of populations participating in and served by higher education, while keeping in mind the goals of revealing inequity, challenging marginalization, and helping all students to succeed. This is the 163rd volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. 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.
Book Synopsis Data Mining in Action: Case Studies of Enrollment Management by : Jing Luan
Download or read book Data Mining in Action: Case Studies of Enrollment Management written by Jing Luan and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2006-12-15 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume introduces data mining through case studies of enrollment management. Six case studies employed data mining for solving real-life issues in enrollment yield, retention, transfer-outs, utilization of advanced-placement scores, and predicting graduation rates, among others. The authors furnish a tangible sense of data mining at work. The volume also demonstrates that data mining bears great potential to enhance institutional research. The opening chapter deciphers the similarities and differences between data mining and statistics, debunks the myths surrounding both data mining and traditional statistics, and points out the intrinsic conflict between statistical inference and the emerging need for individual pattern recognition and resulting customized treatment of students - the so-called new reality in applied institutional research. This is the 131st volume of New Directions for Institutional Research, a quarterly journal published by Jossey-Bass.

Book Synopsis New Scholarship in Critical Quantitative Research, Part 1: Studying Institutions and People in Context by : Frances K. Stage
Download or read book New Scholarship in Critical Quantitative Research, Part 1: Studying Institutions and People in Context written by Frances K. Stage and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents work focused on underrepresented persons in a variety of levels of higher education. Each scholar has used critical quantitative approaches to examine access and/or success in the higher education arena. Their scholarship pushes the boundaries of what we know by questioning mainstream notions of higher education through: the examination of policies the re-framing of theories and measures the reexamination of traditional questions for nontraditional populations. The work is divergent, but the commonality of the presentations lies in each scholar’s critical approach to conventional quantitative scholarship. Their research highlights inequities and explores factors not typically included in conventional quantitative analysis. This is the 158th volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. 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.

Book Synopsis Inter-Institutional Data Exchange When to Do It, What to Look for, and How to Make it Work by : James F. Trainer
Download or read book Inter-Institutional Data Exchange When to Do It, What to Look for, and How to Make it Work written by James F. Trainer and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1996-09-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume of New Directions for Institutional Research highlights the benefits and risks associated with participating in inter-institutional data exchanges and describes the various types of exchanges that are available. The chapters outline data-sharing activities from rather simple institution-to-institution exchanges to more complex, multilevel, multi-institution data-sharing consortia. They describe the mechanics of data exchange from rudimentary copying of paper surveys and reports to more technologically advanced electronic data submission and retrieval. The authors indicate how data exchanges can serve to enhance the planning process both on individual campuses and within larger systems. Conversely, they identify potential pitfalls related to openly sharing data with other institutions. Finally, the authors provide a blueprint for deciding whether it is in an institution's best interest to engage in this type of activity."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
