Download or read book Student Tracking New Techniques New Demands written by Peter Ewell and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1995-12-18 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longitudinal student tracking systems now serve a multitude of masters. Growing accountability demands from states, accreditors, and the federal government prominently feature such measures as persistence and graduate rates and time-to-degree. At the same time, resource shortfalls are driving institutions and state higher education systems to examine their operations more carefully in order to achieve greater coherence and efficiency; understanding and monitoring student flow is a prominent part of this effort. In light of these developments, student tracking has come of age. This volume of New Directions for Institutional Research describes important changes in the requirements for student tracking data bases and examines the expanding technical possibilities provided by statewide administrative data bases and by the availability of greatly enhanced data-manipulation and statistical tools for constructing and analyzing longitudinal data files. This is the 87th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Institutional Research. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.

Book excerpt: Assessment programs and practices often are proclaimed as central components of the community college enterprise. However, the myths that have become part of the assessment lore are sometimes more widespread than the realities. Assessment and testing, while necessary and worthwhile activities, can be confusing, expensive undertakings that may or may not contribute to the effectiveness of an institution. This volume of New Directions for Community Colleges addresses the realpolitik of assessment and testing from a variety of perspectives and examines the possible shortcomings, threats, and benefits inherent in each. The practical considerations, strategies, recommendations, and assessment methodologies presented in this issue serve as a guide to assessment and testing for the novice as well as the seasoned professional.

Download or read book Analyzing Faculty Workload written by Jon F. Wergin and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1994 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question being asked with increasing regularity is, Just what do faculty members do? Studies of faculty workload have been commisioned in state after state. Taken together, the studies indicate that college faculty members are working harder than ever but are probably teaching less and are almost certainly having less contact with students, particularly undergraduates. This volume of New Directions for Institutional Research explores how the public discourse about faculty work might be improved and suggests how colleges and universities might document that work in a fashion that not only more faithfully describes what faculty do but also allows for reports that are more comprehensive and useful. This is the 83rd issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Institutional Research. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.
