The CIRP Summer Institute provides three days of intensive training in the conceptual framework of the CIRP surveys, instruction in the use of the survey databases, and techniques for analysis. Newly revised for 2009, this year the CSI will focus on several content areas of the CIRP surveys and introduce how to use the new CIRP factors in data analysis. Topic areas will include retention, diversity, and student and faculty interaction.
Taught by expert instructors from UCLA's nationally recognized Higher Education Research Institute (HERI), the CIRP Summer Institute is designed to provide a comprehensive approach to analyzing college student data and demonstrate potential uses for campus-level data.
Accommodations for participants have been arranged at UCLA’s Guest House. The hotel guest rooms are located on the beautiful UCLA Campus. The hotel features complimentary breakfast, espresso bar, concierge services, and wireless internet access. The package rate for single occupancy housing is $139 per night. The package rate for double occupancy housing is $144 per night.
Participants may register for one of two tracks depending on experience with data analysis in SPSS :
-
Track 1: Participants will receive as short introduction to SPSS and an overview of basic statistical tools useful for conducting research on college students. Computer lab sessions will allow participants to use an existing longitudinal database on college students to examine college impact. Individuals need little or no experience with SPSS.
-
Track 2: Participants will receive a brief overview of SPSS and basic statistical tools and will then move into multiple regression analysis using CIRP data. Computer lab sessions will allow participants to use an existing longitudinal database on college students to perform and interpret descriptive and multiple regression analyses.
