Institutional Research: Issue-Oriented Data Integration and System Construction

摘要

This study proposes an issue-oriented data integration and system-building model to promote institutional research. In direction of the issues, we advance the idea of grouping university stakeholders into the university, students, and the public. In the aspect of data integration and system construction, five steps are proposed: issue confirmation, information system and data inventory, data model establishment, data warehouse and data dictionary establishment, and system construction and data analysis. Finally, this study proposes several preliminary conclusions and suggestions on the promotion of institutional research for universities or researchers.
