Duart; Chryssa Themeli – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2025
Advocates of AI in Education (AIEd) assert that the current generation of technologies, collectively dubbed artificial intelligence, including generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), promise results that can transform our conceptions of what education looks like. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate how educators perceive GenAI and its…

Chuanyi, Wang; Xiaohong, Lv; Shikui, Zhao – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016
This paper applies data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) to explore the relative efficiency of China's research universities of science and technology. According to the finding, when talent training is the only output, the efficiency of research universities of science and technology is far lower than that of…

Schuman, Sam – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2014
In an ominously steady progression over the past decades, education in general, higher education in particular, and even honors education have increasingly been contextualized in the realm of the marketplace. Cost/benefit analyses of colleges and universities are examined; institutions in terms of their price to consumers (students and their…

Manning, Terri M.; Crosta, Peter M. – New Directions for Community Colleges, 2014
Community colleges are under pressure to increase completion rates, prepare students for the workplace, and contain costs. Colleges need to know the financial implications of what are often perceived as routine decisions: course scheduling, program offerings, and the provision of support services. This chapter presents a methodology for estimating…

Martínez Abad, Fernando; Chaparro Caso López, Alicia A. – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2017
In light of the emergence of statistical analysis techniques based on data mining in education sciences, and the potential they offer to detect non-trivial information in large databases, this paper presents a procedure used to detect factors linked to academic achievement in large-scale assessments. The study is based on a non-experimental,…

Peer reviewedLandau, Herbert B.; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1982
Develops an information transfer model which relates information products to the user's innovation decision-making process and highlights the linkage between specific products and user needs at each decision point. Specific applications to environmental technology are discussed. Three figures, five tables, and a reference list accompany the text.…

Peer reviewedHernon, Peter – RQ, 1987
Identifies aspects of reference services amenable to evaluation, discusses the need for measures of service quality as well as quantity, presents modifications of current measures that meet this need, and stresses the importance of linking performance measures to library planning. (CLB)

Peer reviewedLarson, Richard C.; Kaplan, Edward H. – New Directions for Program Evaluation, 1981
Evaluation is discussed as an information-gathering process. Currently popular evaluation programs are reviewed in relation to decision making and various approaches that seem to contribute to the decision utility of evaluation (e.g. classical approaches, Bayesian approaches, adaptive designs, and model-based evaluations) are described. (Author/AL)

Peer reviewedSexton, Thomas R. – New Directions for Program Evaluation, 1986
The methodology of data envelopment analysis, (DEA) a linear programming-based method, is described. Other procedures often used for measuring relative productive efficiency are discussed in relation to DEA, including ratio analysis and multiple regression analysis. The DEA technique is graphically illustrated for only two inputs and one output.…

An Economic View of the Acquisition of Reasoning Skills: Agenda for Research in the Information Age.
Peer reviewedBrown, Byron W.; Saks, Daniel H. – Review of Educational Research, 1984
An economic viewpoint is applied to four educational issues in the acquisition of reasoning skills: (1) defining reasoning; (2) methods for producing and developing reasoning skills in the classroom; (3) how the economy allocates and values reasoning skills; and (4) future economic needs for reasoning skills. (BS)

Sloan, Charles A.; Yudewitz, Gary J. – American School Board Journal, 1983
Steps for taking the guesswork out of predicting a school's financial outlook include gathering extensive information on the school system's financial condition; sorting, assessing, and ranking the data; and organizing the information into a presentable, comprehensible form, if possible with the help of a microcomputer.

Lawrence, Ben – Studies in Management, 1972
Program budgeting is described as a means of enabling higher education to respond effectively to three major accountability concerns. They are (1) the long-term financial implications of a particular programmatic or policy decision, (2) determination of what is being paid for, and (3) understanding that the price being paid for a program is…
