Presentation Transcript

  1. N Classification of Dutch and Flemish Higher Education Institutions

  2. Functions of Classifications • transparency tool (various stakeholders) • instrument for institutional strategies (mission, profile) • base for governmental policies • tool for research • instrument for better ranking

  3. U-Map dimensions • Teaching and learning profile • Student profile • Research involvement • Knowledge exchange • International orientation • Regional engagement

  4. Institutional Profiles www.u-map.eu

  5. Institutional Profiles • sets of ‘scores’ on the dimensions and indicators • actual institutional activities, not performance • full or partial institutional profiles • information for external stakeholders • instrument for strategic institutional management • base for benchmarking, for inter-institutional cooperation, for effective communication and profiling

  6. U-Map implementation

  7. U-Map Dutch HEIs • Classify Dutch (and Flemish) higher education institutions • Universities and UAS • Public and private

  8. U-Map Dutch HEIs Approach • Stakeholder involvement • Pre-filling • Workshops • Pre-filling • Datacollection/ institutional survey • Additional/alternative indicators • Datacollection through questionnaire • On-line: see www.u-map.eu • Intensive interaction with HEIs

  9. U-Map Dutch HEIs Deliverables • Two profiles • European profile • Dutch profile • Dissemination conference • Report

  10. U-Map Dutch HEIs; pre-filling • Starting points pre-filling • Use existing data bases • Reduce administrative burden • More options for verification of the data

  11. U-Map Dutch HEIs; pre-filling • Selection of existing statistical sources • Are required data elements available? • Do the definitions fit? • Are all institutions covered? • ‘Preliminary’ profiles • Based on prefilled data • Standard cut of points

  12. U-Map Dutch HEIs; pre-filling

  13. U-Map Dutch HEIs

  14. U-Map Dutch HEIs; planning • April-May 2010 • Consultation with Dutch/Flemish ministry and Dutch stakeholders • July 2010 • Pre-filling • October 2010 • Workshop with dataproviders • October-December 2010 • Datacollection • January-February 2011 • Verification of data • Workshop on alternative indicators • March 2011 • dissemination • reporting

  15. U-Map Dutch HEIs; results • Participation • 85% of public HEIs, some private ones • Small mono-sectoral colleges problematic • Workshops • Feedback on definitions, pre-filling • Discussions on alternative indicators (also beyond project) • Data/ profiles • Some indicators more problematic than others • In general plausible results • Reference year critical • Sustainability of results (lifetime)
