  2. Introduction to the East Midlands Widening Participation Research and Evaluation Partnership (EMWPREP) the use of WP data: how it can be deployed to inform practice and intervention? Uses of Data in the East Midlands Examples of the Use of Data

  3. EMWPREP: • 8 HEIs in the East Midlands • Continuing the work of Aimhigher in the East Midlands • Work includes: • Monitoring and evaluating institutions’ outreach programmes • Evaluation of discrete outreach activities • Targeting students for outreach activity • Analysing partner institutions’ student data • Analysing external data: UCAS; DfE

  4. Uses of data: • There are three main ways in which data is used in the East Midlands: • Targeting • Monitoring • Evaluation

  5. targeting: • Targeting for inclusion in WP interventions takes place on two levels: • School Level • Individual Level

  6. targeting: school level

  7. targeting: individual level • Currently a student will fall into the cohort if they meet the following criteria: • They are predicted a 40% (city)/ 50% (county) chance of achieving 5+ A*-C GCSEs AND • They are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM), OR • They fall within one of the 20% most deprived areas nationally according to the Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), OR • They fall within one of the 20% lowest young HE participation wards (quintile 1) of POLAR3, OR • They fall within one of the 40% most deprived areas nationally according to IMD AND within one of the 40% lowest young HE participation wards (quintile 1 or 2) of POLAR3.

  8. Monitoring: m&e database

  9. Monitoring: activity proformas The proformas allow HEIs to record a wide variety of information about their interventions such as activity type, category, funding stream, duration, location, target group and importantly the number of participants involved

  10. Monitoring: consent forms

  11. Monitoring: participant biography

  12. Evaluation: reach activity and participant demographics

  13. Evaluation: reach activity and participant demographics There has been a decrease in the percentage of participants meeting various targeting criteria between the interim stage in 2012/13 and the interim stage in 2013/14.

  14. Evaluation: attainment & progression • Predicted versus Actual • Establish links between talking part in outreach interventions and doing better than expected in key assessments • Progression to HE • Link participant of outreach interventions to applications, offers and acceptances at partner institutions

  15. Evaluation: Specific Evaluations • Activity Questionnaires

  16. Evaluation: Specific Evaluations • Bespoke Evaluations • In-depth analysis utilising multiple mixed methods approach to evaluation • Examples: • Loughborough University’s Mentoring Scheme • University of Leicester’s Students in Classrooms Programme • University of Leicester’s Summer School Programme

  17. Conclusion • Correct identification of target school and pupils within those schools is important • Collection of consent forms is crucial to monitoring and evaluation as it’s the way to establish links as to “what works” • Activity evaluations give an ‘immediate’ picture of the success of an event
