What is the data saying?

Once you have analyzed the data and identified common themes and ideas, the next step involves reflecting on that information. Considerations may include:

  • the implications of the themes identified for: future programing, pedagogical practices, forms of assessment
  • ideas for recommendations to be included in the Self-Study
  • broader suggestions for future development of the department / program under review

You will also want to consider the different sections of the Self-Study template as a guide to which pieces of the data gathered will inform each section.
