In June 2021, we hosted our second session which joined our UK and Ireland members together to share insight and experiences of each sector’s national student surveys.
As both the UK and Ireland move to review their long-standing national student survey systems and assess their effects on sector policy, this event sought to identify the facets of these surveys that are most valuable to institutional researchers.
After hearing from those responsible for leading the reviews in each country, discussion groups were formed to cover topics aimed at establishing the design features that contribute to the validity and breadth of student representation, the detail and techniques that support insightful analysis, and the impediments to meaningful insight with considerations on how to address them.
