1. Differentiation: Where Are We? CLUSTER ANALYSES OF INPUT & OUTPUT INDICATORS Ian Bunting & Charles Sheppard CHET seminar 9 February 2012 Franschhoek

2. SLIDE 1: HIGH LEVEL KNOWLEDGE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS • Slide 1 uses averages for 2008-2010 for 4 input and 4 output variables, which reflect the state of high level knowledge production in the HE system, as a way of clustering HE institutions. These indicator averages are summarised in the Slide 1 data table. • Inputs • Masters enrolments as % of total head count enrolments • Doctors enrolments as % of total head count enrolments • % of permanent academic staff with doctoral degrees • Ratio of doctoral enrolments to permanent academic staff • Outputs • Ratio of masters graduates to masters enrolments (throughput proxy) • Ratio of doctoral graduates to doctoral enrolments (throughput proxy) • Ratio of doctoral graduates to permanent academics (measure of academic staff research output efficiency) • Ratio of research publications to permanent academics (further measure of academic staff researchoutput efficiency)
