Journal: Journal of Higher Education Research DOI: 10.32629/jher.v2i5.519
Abstract
In the context of university data governance, the orientation of institutional research in China is to provide data support and services based on decision-making scenarios. The content and process of work are closely related to data. The research fields specifically involve university students and other affairs in teaching, teacher management, resource management and planning, policy, management and so on. At present, with the continuous improvement of the level of data governance in colleges and universities, the development of institutional research in colleges and universities is mainly faced with problems such as insufficient data awareness, poor data quality and lack of data sharing platform. Therefore, universities should attach importance to top-level design and establish "data-driven decision-making" mechanism, create a data culture and develop data-related standards, build comprehensive database and build data sharing platform.
