Introduction to SAAIR Articles

  • Judy Favish University of Cape Town

Abstract

The theme for the 2011 forum of the Southern African Association of Institutional Research (SAAIR) was Enhancement . It was designed to provide opportunities for critical self-reflection to institutional researchers, planners, quality assurance professionals and other administrators, as well as academics, on how evidence-based practices can be used to improve the quality of teaching practices and graduate attributes. Papers reporting on:

• strategic issues related to enhancement,

• evidence-based innovations,

• the use of information to promote reflective and responsive practices,

• new ways of approaching operational tasks,

• investigations or evaluations of interventions at UG or PG levels,

• the use of IR/QA/planning to improve the quality of the student experience, and

• conceptual papers exploring the relationship between institutional research and quality were specifically invited.
