Description
Globalization, demographic shifts, increase in student enrollments, rapid technological transformation, and market-driven environments are altering the way higher education operates today. Institutional Research and Planning in Higher Education explores the impact of these changes on decision support and the nature of institutional research in higher education. Bringing together a diverse set of global contributors, this volume covers contemporary thinking on the practices of academic planning and its impact on key issues such as access, institutional accountability, quality assurance, educational policy priorities, and the development of higher education data systems.
Reviews / Votes
"Institutional Research and Planning in Higher Education brings together an impressive collection of practitioners to convey a global perspective of institutional research and planning. The book offers valuable insight into the developing role of IR and planning in diverse higher education environments."--Gloria Crisp, Associate Editor, New Directions for Institutional Research (NDIR) and Associate Professor, The University of Texas at San Antonio
"Institutional research (IR) - and the practitioners who undertake it - offers evidence-based support for policy and governance in a volatile world. This timely and topical volume provides detailed insight into how these decision-support systems operate, the challenges they face, and the outcomes achieved in terms of quality improvement of institutions and informed understanding of higher education's contributions to society."
--Robin Middlehurst, Professor of Higher Education, Kingston University
