The Toolbox Revisited is a data essay that follows a nationally representative cohort of students from high school into postsecondary education, and asks what aspects of their formal schooling contribute to completing a bachelor's degree by their mid-20s.

Cultivating Data-Based Decisions in Higher Education: Using Rapid Insight, Inc. Veera
Author: Scott J. Mantie, Ph.D.Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1105762041
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
American postsecondary institutions are faced with a growing financial crisis that threatens the quality, availability, and economics of the higher education system. Within this climate of economic uncertainty and decline, higher education is under pressure to restructure and reform its processes and contributions to society and to provide evidence of return on investment while using as few institutional resources as possible. In an effort to address these challenges, college and university administrators attempt to guide their institutions by becoming more focused on data-based decision making. This book provides an overview of Rapid Insight(R)'s Veera and how it can be used to address many difficulties confronting postsecondary institutions attempting to engage in meaningful data-based decision making. It is not intended to be an in-depth reference manual for the product, but, rather, to motivate novices to use Veera and to expose experienced users to real-world examples and tips.

Author: Karen L. WebberPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319711628
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
This book examines the relevant roles, skills and knowledge needed to build the institutional research capacity across the higher education sector globally. The information contained herein will inform IR practitioners, senior level institution officials, and higher education scholars. With a focus on building the capacity of the IR profession, this book’s primary audiences include senior leaders who wish to introduce or strengthen their understanding for effective decision support and staff members who are currently in decision support units and those who wish to serve in this capacity. However, this book also offers detail on the decision support function to higher education scholars who seek to better address how data can inform policy and planning in higher education. Through a broad discussion about the roles and skills of the practitioners, this book will also enumerate the ways in which decision support practitioners can be valued contributors in shaping the future decisions and direction of specific institutions and higher education broadly.
Economics of Higher Education
Author: Robert K. ToutkoushianPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 9401775060
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
This book examines the many ways in which economic concepts, theories and models can be used to examine issues in higher education. The topics explored in the book include how students make college-going decisions, the payoffs to students and society from going to college, markets for higher education services, demand and supply in markets for higher education, why and how state and federal governments intervene in higher education markets, college and university revenues and expenditures, how institutions use net-pricing strategies and non-price product-differentiation strategies to pursue their goals and to compete in higher education markets, as well as issues related to faculty labor markets. The book is written for both economists and non-economists who study higher education issues and provides readers with background information and thorough explanations and illustrations of key economic concepts. In addition to reviewing the contributions economists have made to the study of higher education, it also examines recent research in each of the major topical areas. The book is policy-focused and each chapter analyses how contemporary higher education policies affect the behaviour of students, faculty and/or institutions of higher education. "Toutkoushian and Paulsen attempted a daunting task: to write a book on the economics of higher education for non-economists that is also useful to economists. A book that could be used for reference and as a textbook for higher education classes in economics, finance, and policy. They accomplish this tough balancing act with stunning success in a large volume that will serve as the go-to place for anyone interested in the history and current thinking on the economics of higher education.” William E. Becker, Jr., Professor Emeritus of Economics, Indiana University
