Project Final Report:
Project Team: Deanne Gannaway and Karen Sheppard
In 2011, DASSH commissioned a follow-up project to the previously completed 2008 project Nature and Roles of Arts Degrees. The new report aimed at updating the datasets and identifying current trends in programs changes between 2008 and 2012.
The project team drew on archival data or primary records (such as official documents, brochures, and institutional course planners); secondary sources (such as websites, publicity documentation and media stories); and running records (such as ongoing statistical data collections from national surveys and commonwealth data sets). Bachelor of Arts, or similar, programs were examined across 39 providers. Data were collated into a standard framework template. The development of a standard framework reduces complex and varied data into a manageable format to facilitate cross-institutional comparison and further analysis. The framework, once completed for each institution, was verified by the person identified as responsible for program oversight, usually the program or course coordinator at each institution.
