About the Data
What can you do now?
While the college
develops a larger process or set of processes to systematically
gather, house and incorporate data, you are strongly encouraged to
initiate your own learning inquiry independently of a formal
process. In fact, many faculty, staff, and administrators are
already examining learning in courses, programs, and services to
determine how improvements can be made at a grassroots level, often
with unexpected findings and insights. Here are some ways you can
participate:
Things you can do to get
started:
-
Gather with
colleagues to identify a learning objective you want to measure
at the course, program, or service levels. Appoint a lead who
will schedule and facilitate meetings, prepare reports and
minutes of your work, and store the data.
-
Let college
leadership know what you are experiencing in the process,
what your needs are, challenges you've faced, as well as insight
you've gained. This will be invaluable to their progress in
developing a larger institutional system.
-
Share your
findings with the Director of College Research and Planning.
Prepare your data in aggregate, and your response in narrative
form and let it be used as evidence that MJC is using evidence
to improve learning.
