About this Research Topic
Institutional Impact Measurement in Higher Education is a critical field that addresses the need for improved and strengthened educational processes. Higher education institutions worldwide are increasingly implementing innovative projects and initiatives aimed at solving context-based problems. The measurement of the impact of these initiatives is essential to determine their effectiveness and to facilitate evidence-based decision-making by key leaders such as full professors, administrators, deans, and department heads. Despite the growing recognition of its importance, there are still significant gaps in understanding the best practices for impact measurement, the most effective methodologies, and the ways in which these measurements can be used to inform strategic decisions. Recent studies have highlighted the potential of both quantitative and qualitative approaches, yet there remains a need for more comprehensive and methodologically rigorous research to fully understand the impact of educational initiatives.
This research topic aims to compile studies that use various methodological and theoretical approaches to contribute to the understanding of impact measurement in Higher Education. These studies should provide results that can be used to strengthen or improve educational processes or initiatives within higher education institutions. By doing so, the research aims to offer valuable insights and methodological ideas to the scientific community interested in impact measurement, ultimately aiding in strategic decision-making by different stakeholders.
To gather further insights into the boundaries of impact measurement in higher education, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Measuring the Impact of Educational Technology
- Measuring the Impact of Innovative Educational Strategies
- Measuring the Impact of Educational Initiatives
- Measuring Impact on Teacher Training Initiatives
- Methodologies for Impact Measurement
- Use of Technology for Data Collection and Impact Measurement
