Higher Education worldwide faces the need to improve and strengthen educational processes, pushing to run innovative educational projects or implement institutional initiatives, which aim to solve context-based problems. In this sense, impact measurement plays a relevant role to determine the extent to which these projects or initiatives are achieving the intended objectives, and allowing evidence-based decision-making by its leaders: full professors, administrators, deans, department heads, among others, to strengthen or improve them, or to seek new educational alternatives that provide solutions to the problems raised.
Impact measurement is based on a scientific research process whose approach can be quantitative, qualitative, or mixed. Rigor and thoroughness lead to validity, veracity, and robustness of the results, which turns to facilitating decision-making processes. In this vein, the objective is to compile research studies that, using different methodological and theoretical approaches, contribute to the understanding of impact measurement in Higher Education and its relevance in strategic decision making by different stakeholders. Likewise, it is expected that the contributions can shed light and methodological ideas on the scientific community interested in impact measurement.
This Research Topic aims to attract contributions in which an impact evaluation has been carried out with methodological and systematic rigor, in which the results obtained serve to strengthen or improve educational processes or initiatives in Higher Education. Methodological approaches can be quantitative, qualitative, or mixed. More precisely, this collection welcomes contributions exploring the following themes:
1) Measuring the Impact of Educational Technology;
2) Measuring the Impact of Innovative Educational Strategies;
3) Measuring the Impact of Educational Initiatives;
4) Measuring Impact on Teacher Training Initiatives;
5) Methodologies for impact measuring
6)Use of technology for data collection and impact measurement.
Keywords:
Higher Education, Educational Technology, Educational Initiatives, Educational Innovation
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
