Third Mike Daniels Symposium for Institutional Research: An evidence based
approach in higher education - how far can we take it?
Wednesday 7 July 2004, 10.00-16.00, Manchester Conference Centre
Some places are still available for this challenging conference convened to
provide an opportunity for the HE community to consider some of the
positions advanced in a public discussion launched in January 2004 by the
LTSN (now the Higher Education Academy)into the meaning of 'evidence'
and 'evidence based' as applied to the development of policy and practice
in HE. It will also examine the implications and effects of adopting and
operationalising an evidence based approach.
In 2000 the HE sector agreed a policy to introduce PDP in 2005 as part of
the HE Progress File. The HE Academy, in partnership with the Centre for
Recording Achievement and the Institute of Education EPPI unit, has been
involved in a programme of development work aimed at building the
infrastructures and capacities to support an evidence based approach in
this area of teaching and learning practice. This case study will be used
to illuminate the central themes and issues of the conference.
Who is the conference for?
* policy makers in the HE system and within institutions
* senior managers/decision makers within HE institutions
* change agents and activists who broker and facilitate
change
* people involved in planning and implementing personal
development planning
* institutional researchers who create evidence to inform
policy and practice
* people involved in market research
* people involved in quality assurance who seek and use
evidence
of the effectiveness of an institution's procedures and
practices
* those who help students learn and develop and use evidence
to
inform themselves of the impact of their work
Cost: £99.00 to include a collection of papers.
