What is institutional research?
Institutional Research (IR)
4پوهندوی دوکتور اسدهللا صمدی : تهیه کننده3/14/2020
Institutional research is a broad category of work
done at schools, colleges and universities to inform
campus decision-making and planning:
Admissions
financial aid and finance
curriculum assessment,
enrollment management
staffing,
student life,, facilities, athletics, and alumni relations.
Institutional Research
5پوهندوی دوکتور اسدهللا صمدی : تهیه کننده3/14/2020
IR collect, analyze, report, and warehouse quantitative
and qualitative data about their institution's students,
faculty, staff, curriculum, course offerings, and learning
outcomes
institutional researchers share data with one another to
compare their own practices and outcomes against those
of similar institutions
They are involved in collecting and reporting
information to government and accreditation bodies
Institutional Research
6پوهندوی دوکتور اسدهللا صمدی : تهیه کننده3/14/2020
The sum of all activities directed at empirically describing
the full spectrum of functions (educational, administrative,
and support) at HEIs which are used for the purposes of
institutional planning, policy development, and decision
making (Saupe,1990).
IR provides intelligence to the institution’s leaders to
enable them to shape the policy, posture and institutional
development (Neave, 2003)
Institutional Research
7پوهندوی دوکتور اسدهللا صمدی : تهیه کننده3/14/2020
The most widely accepted definitions of IR:
decision support—a set of activities that provide
support for institutional planning, policy
formation, and decision making (Joe
Saupe,1990)
IR considered as organizational intelligence
(Cameron Fincher,1978)
Institutional Research Activities

Questions have to be answered?
What is the demographic information of newly enrolled
students, faculty and staff?
How the student found university campus at the end of
second semester?
Which subject or lecturer/professor was the most
challenging, etc. ..?
The main goal of IR is:

Institutional Researcher
11پوهندوی دوکتور اسدهللا صمدی : تهیه کننده3/14/2020
There is no single academic degree that qualifies one to be
an institutional researcher
Suggested strengths include a knowledge of statistics,
research methods, and data analysis capacity (Excel,
SPSS, SAS)
Meanwhile, strong written and oral communications
skills, attention to detail, and knowledge about how
institutions of higher education operate

Pillars of IR
13پوهندوی دوکتور اسدهللا صمدی : تهیه کننده3/14/2020
Three tiers of organizational intelligence
technical and analytical.
This is the type of intelligence that you need in order to produce the facts and figures that describe
the basic profile of an institution: admissions, enrollment, degrees awarded, faculty workload, and
finances, and data analysis skills
issues intelligence.
This includes knowledge on student and faculty diversity, resource allocation priorities, the need
for program evaluation and improvement, enrollment goal setting, and capital construction and
knowing about the key people at the institution
contextual intelligence.
This context involves knowing the institution not only internally, but also externally - its history, its
culture, its evolution, and its external environment. The sum total of contextual intelligence understands all the relevant trends in the external
environment—financial, social, political, and demographic. ((Pat Terenzini, 1993)

organizational intelligence (Nel, 2015)

Role of IR in institutional development
22پوهندوی دوکتور اسدهللا صمدی : تهیه کننده3/14/2020
The need for data-informed decisions is not limited to national policy,
state systems, or senior leadership of postsecondary institutions.
Decisions that impact the achievement of higher education missions
are also made by students, faculty, frontline staff, and program
administrators—all of who deserve data and information to support
their decisions.
Foundational to effective decision support is the quality of data
inputs and analytics provided by each college’s or university’s
institutional research (IR) function
Role of IR in institutional accreditation
23پوهندوی دوکتور اسدهللا صمدی : تهیه کننده3/14/2020

Major Issues (challenges)
26پوهندوی دوکتور اسدهللا صمدی : تهیه کننده3/14/2020
Converting the bank of data into information remains a
challenge for nearly all institutions
Real-time tactical, operational, and strategic decisions cannot
wait for new data collections, nor can they be supported by
elaborate research designs that may take years to produce
In some cases, decision are affected by political, financial and
cultural biases
Institutional Structures
and Policies are Necessary
but Not Sufficient to
Assure Accomplishment of
an Institution’s Mission
Collective force of students as decision makers is the most powerful force on a college campus.
Direct influencers (faculty and staff) are 2nd in power.
Summary and Conclusion
28پوهندوی دوکتور اسدهللا صمدی : تهیه کننده3/14/2020
The phrase “garbage in, garbage out” is a well-known warning that
trustworthy results require quality inputs.
Certainly technologies that test and screen data are useful, but for
the near future, human interpretations and direct manipulations of
data—checking, cleaning cross-referencing—will remain important
aspects of education data collections.
The foundation of quality higher education policy decisions stems
from the knowledge, skills, and good will of those who supply data
to the MoHE.
Top-down decisions about the data collections are important; but a
grassroots commitment to quality data is essential.
Summary Strategies for Successful IR
Establish centrality of the office;
Establish a friendly, professional relationship
with key campus individuals;
Write reports that are easy to understand;
Obtain data from primary sources;
Use survey research only when needed; & Be
a FORWARD THINKER!
Data don’t speak for themselves!
And they never talk to strangers. . .
IR as Change Agents
31پوهندوی دوکتور اسدهللا صمدی : تهیه کننده3/14/2020
Recommendations:
32پوهندوی دوکتور اسدهللا صمدی : تهیه کننده3/14/2020
IR is considered the development driver of the universities
There should be an OIR in every university to collect,
analyze and interpret data regarding student, faculties,
staff, financial, etc. and all decisions should be data based
not personal ideas
Research centers could conduct IR until the OIR is
established in universities.
