2 Structure of presentation Contextualizing report writing Kinds of reports and examples Common sense selection of graphs Examples of data visualization Writing style Discussion Purpose of the Report What is the report responding to? Who are the major stakeholders involved (audience)? What are the suggested intentions behind analysis and recommendations? Who are the intended beneficiaries of change? How is implementation of the suggested change to be achieved? How does one develop ownership of the report amongst the potential users of the work/report produced? (Taylor, Rizvi, Henry: 1997) 2
3 TYPES OF IR REPORTS POLICY AND PRACTICE Stakeholder research project (language policy study) Needs assessment (profile analysis) Perceptions and experiences (satisfaction surveys) Commissioned research (directly leading to practical adjustments) Reflective studies (those who got away study) Programme assessment (first year experience) Early warning system (student performance reports) TYPES OF IR REPORTS (Cont..) CORPORATE REPORTS Institutional performance reports (annual reports) Portfolio reports (research/ teaching and learning) Project reports (end of project) Facts and figures (bird s eye-view) Reflective studies (impact analysis) Statutory reports (integrated report) 3
4 TYPES OF IR REPORTS (Cont..)

5 What kind of report is it? Policy What are the suggested intentions behind the report? Corporate Political Academic What is policy responding to? Report as text (tone, style, voice, information overload) How is the implementation of recommendations to be achieved? How do you develop ownership amongst users? Strategic Who are the major stakeholders involved in the change and implementation processes? INSTITUTIONAL CONSEQUENCES Assembling evidence against a particular framework: (theoretical / ideological/ conceptual / criteria) Is rigorous, iterative (team effort /quality assurance) Is often resisted (over-regulation/ increased accountability/ autonomy/ there is nothing new/ offended users) Will lead to changed discourses practices/ resources/ strategies Is a continuing process: developing a culture / ethos of assuring and promoting evidence based practice and decision making 5

8 Strategies to improve reports Summarize key findings in words and numbers Be judicious about including tables and graphs in the body of the report Use words to describe the meaning of a statistical analysis Recognize that statistical significance may have no practical importance Ask your audience for suggestions about improving reports More strategies Distribute key findings in one-page briefs or web pages, and refer to the full report Use bullets Use a question and answer format Put technical material and tables in a separate document Use different formats for different audiences Include anecdotes or quotes to support findings 8

16 International System of Units (SI) The modern form of the metric system. Generally a system of units of measurement. The world's most widely used system of measurement, both in everyday commerce and in science; Only Burma, Liberia & the USA have NOT adopted the system. Consider the importance for institutional researchers... SI writing style Use space as thousands separator ( ) in contrast to commas or periods (1,000,000 or ) in order to reduce confusion resulting from the variation between these forms in different countries. In print, the space used for this purpose is typically narrower than that between words (commonly a thin space). South Africa have adopted the standard of a space as thousands separator. 16
17 SI writing style The 10th resolution of CGPM in 2003 declared that "the symbol for the decimal marker shall be either the point on the line or the comma on the line." In practice, the decimal point is used in Englishspeaking countries as well as most of Asia and the comma in most continental European languages. South Africa has adopted the decimal comma, except in the case of financial figures where the decimal point is used in line with the World Bank standard in this regard. Questions and discussion 17
