A9 - PTES, PRES, CROS and/or PIRLS complete - now what do I do?
Day 1 at 14:45 - The majority of UK HEIs are now participating in PTES, PRES, CROS and/or PIRLS. However, the responsibility for analysing the data produced is sometimes passed to a researcher developer who does not have relevant previous experience. In this interactive workshop, key considerations will be discussed including what are the most appropriate ways to present results for datasets of different sizes/response rates, including numerical and graphical summaries, as well as the importance of constructing an overall narrative that is tailored to the most relevant issues for the institution.
