Description & Coverage
Description:

Institutional research (IR) is a growing, applied, and interdisciplinary area that attracts people from a variety of fields, including computer programmers, statisticians, and administrators and faculty from every discipline to work in archiving, analyzing, and reporting on all aspects of higher education information systems.

Cases on Institutional Research Systems is a reference book for institutional research, appealing to novice and expert IR professionals and the administrators and policymakers that rely on their data. By presenting a variety of institutional perspectives, the book depicts the challenges and solutions to those in higher education administration, and state, federal, and even international accreditation.

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Assessment of Analysis
  • Collegiate Administrative Systems
  • Data Gathering Techniques
  • Packaging and Framing Data
  • Policymakers and Decision-Making Based on Institutional Research
  • Statistical Analysis of Data
  • Systems for Accreditation
  • Technology and Software Used
  • Uses of Assessments and Analysis
  • Ways of Reporting Data
Reviews & Statements

I can safely say that my interest in and knowledge of the great diversity of IR increased immensely while developing this text. Not all of the contributors have terminal degrees, as is common in IR. Nevertheless, all of the contributors help expand the boundaries and rich diversity of effective IR practice. The reader will find the recounting of using enterprise resource planning systems, to using geospatial information systems, and even a discussion of moral codes and their impact on institutional culture—all of this is within the purview of IR. [...] At the end of the day, IR practitioners use everything at their disposal to solve problems.
