Institutional Research: More Than Just Data

New Directions for Higher Education, Number 141

By: Dawn Geronimo Terkla

The modern incarnation of institutional research has at its disposal an array of statistical, psychological, sociological and general analytical tools. This volume presents a rich group of informative examples and perspectives to help administrators realize the fullest potential of institutional research and understand all the roles it can play. Institutional research is a facet of administration too little known and too often underappreciated. It appears in many guises, from a small, unnamed group in a college development office to a collection of professional branches dispersed across a huge research university. As an in-house resource, it offers unparalleled opportunities for other administrative branches to probe and analyze nearly every aspect of an institution: student learning outcomes faculty teaching and workload broad measures of efficiency and performance. Institutional research can also play a pivotal role in accreditation's self-study process, lay the foundation for benchmarking against peer institutions, and inform both ends of a strategic plan by supplying the data that make a plan realistic and concrete and following up to measure progress. It is also the source for information demanded by institutions external to the university or college: public and private, nonprofit and for-profit. This is the 141st volume of the Jossey-Bass higher education report New Directions for Higher Education. Addressed to presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other higher education decision makers on all kinds of campuses, New Directions for Higher Education provides timely information and authoritative advice about major issues and administrative problems confronting every institution.

Assessing Civic Engagement

New Directions for Institutional Research, Number 162

By: Dawn Geronimo Terkla,Lisa S. O'Leary

How does one assess community service, civic engagement, and the impact of service learning on a college campus? This volume reviews contemporary research, measurement instruments, and practices in the assessment of civic engagement in higher education, including: meta-analyses of students, faculty, institutions, and higher education systems at-large, targeted case studies of campus-specific practices at individual institutions, efficient and effective ways to gauge the influence of civic engagement on higher education policy, practices, and outcomes, and quantitative and qualitative approaches to measuring the effort, importance of, and impact of students’ and institutions’ involvement in community service, community engagement, civic engagement, and service learning on a college campus. The research ranges between decisions made either as part of institutional agendas, curricular enhancements, or student life initiatives and student and professor involvement in civic engagement activities and supportive attitudes. This is the 162nd 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.
