ABOUT INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH
Institutional research has been a feature of US
post-secondary education for over 40 years and institutional research in the United
States is represented professionally by the Association
for Institutional Research (AIR).
There are also similar organisations now in Canada, Europe, Australasia
and South Africa. A list of these
organisations is appended.
The various associations for institutional research
worldwide are dedicated to the professional growth of all who participate in
decision-making related to higher education via management research, policy
analysis and planning. The membership
comprises a wide variety of people who work in many different post-secondary
areas in educational and training institutions (institutional managers,
academics, managers in finance, academic affairs, student services etc) as well
as staff in state and federal government departments charged with developing
policy and regulating education and training at a system-wide level. In bringing diverse membership together,
institutional research associations provide a professional organization where
members' viewpoints, concerns and differences are examined in an atmosphere of
learning, mutual exchange and professional development.
