“We need Data-Driven Decision-Making”
SLIDE 15
Do we?
SLIDE 16
Data Driven or Data-Informed?
Andreas Orphanides, NCSU Libraries, “It’s made of people: designing systems for humans”
SLIDE 17
Data-Informed > Data Driven

Are we setting the Right Measures?
“By measuring how long the engine was running, the vehicle’s speeds, and even seemingly esoteric factors, such as the position of the steering wheel and barometric pressure, Volkswagen vehicles could understand they were being tested and so adjusted their engine performance to pass the tests, according to the EPA.”

Are we setting the Right Measures?
12 one-shot sessions. 24 Students per session

Total engagement: 288! 1 train-the-trainer sessions w/ TAs. 12 TA’s in the session

Total engagement: 12 :-(

But wait, each TA taught a section w/ 24 students. And research skills were integrated across 3 class sessions, instead of just one. Total impact: 288 students x 3 sessions? Total learning: ???

S.M.A.R.T. goals need smart metrics
“Increase engagement with ___ dept. by 30% each academic year.”
“What gets measured gets Improved.”
things that are Easy to Measure aren’t always the best Metrics.

What’s the alternative?
SLIDE 25
Mixed Methods Approaches.
Can we Make Assessment both Quantitative and Qualitative?

Strategy-Driven Decision Making? Mission-driven decision making? Yes - our strategy & mission should be informed by data. And - our data can be contextualized and better understood through refmective practice.
Maybe?
