  1. GCA Reporting Feedback 1:30-2:15

  2. GCA Reporting Feedback 1 • Preliminary Tables A & B and frequencies for checking during data submission • Tables A-J • Careers advisers (plus employer names file, etc.) • National Distribution Files (AGS+CEQ and AGS+PREQ) • CEQ tables • AGS reports

  3. Checking 1 • Preliminary Tables A & B and frequencies for checking during data submission • Table A: all graduates in chosen cohort, all destinations (activities), based on the DEST variable. • Table B: all graduates in chosen cohort available for full-time employment, based on the AVAILFT2 variable.

  4. Checking 2 • Checking preliminary Tables A and B and frequencies • Frequencies sent • All cleaned frequencies • Key variables (to simplify checking) • CEQ output (incl. counts of valid CEQ cases) • Output checking instructions

  5. Checking 3 • Data checks: • possible data entry errors • out-of-range codes • mis-codes (eg., when no value label appears in the table) • variables where all values are missing, (shows “Missing” in the Valid Percent column) • errors in data downloaded from sources such as student records • duplicated records (identified via GCAID)

  6. Checking 4 • Check overall logic e.g., • fields of education: are all the fields listed valid for your institution? • levels of award: does the split of qualifications appear reasonable based on your survey population and the qualifications available from your institution? • sex, age, ATSI, NESB, fee-paying questions, etc., – does the distribution appear reasonable based on your particular student profile. (e.g., numbers of older students, numbers of fee-paying students etc.)

  7. Checking 5 • Do the destinations figures in Tables A and B reflect your expectations – do they differ notably from your previous year’s figures, for example (without good reason).

  8. Tables A-J • Finalised GDS results • Tables A & B • Table C (state breakdown version of Table A) • Table D (state breakdown version of Table B) • Tables A-D have 16 sub-tables • Tables E-J feature national, state and institutional results for overall destinations, employment and salaries (varying breakdowns) • Tables A-J also sent to Heads of Careers Services • SMs advised

  9. Careers Advisers • Careers Advisers also get cut-down data files showing • Employment-related (incl. job search) details and employer names • Further study details • Spreadsheets with value labels rather than codes • Careers advisers analyse and make lists by sorting • Will discuss how careers advisers use GDS data tomorrow.

  10. National Distribution Files • GDS+CEQ file • PREQ data excluded • CEQ/PREQ comments excluded • Employer name excluded • GDS+PREQ files • Basic file – institution code deleted along with variables that might identify an institution (such as GCAID, postcodes, raw responses, comments, CEQ, options, employer name, further study institution) • SPSS, SAS, Excel, tab del

  11. CEQ Tables • Made available as CSV files • Institution by FoE and level of award • ASCED mean & SD (linear trans) • AREA mean & SD (linear trans) still of use? • ASCED % agreement by scale • AREA % agreement by scale • CEQ_app_ASCED (legacy, still of use?) • Historical files will soon be available again on START

  12. AGS Reports • Australian Graduate Survey • Graduate Destinations • Graduate Salaries • Graduate Course Experience (CEQ) • Postgraduate Destinations • Postgraduate Research Experience (PREQ) • All shortened PDF files with additional tables an figures in Excel files
