1. Define Key Academic Performance Metrics
Identify the relevant metrics for comparison, such as:
- Student pass rates
- Average test scores
- Attendance rates
- Completion rates for courses/modules
- Student engagement levels (e.g., participation in discussions, assignment submissions)
2. Gather Baseline Data
- Use historical data as a reference point (e.g., last year’s performance, industry standards).
- Ensure the baseline data is consistent with the current academic structure and criteria.
3. Collect Current and Previous Months’ Data
- Extract data from academic reports, learning management systems (LMS), or internal records.
- Ensure accuracy by verifying data sources and methodologies.
4. Perform Comparative Analysis
- Compare the current month’s metrics with the baseline and previous months.
- Identify trends, improvements, or declines in performance.
- Use statistical methods (e.g., percentage changes, growth rates) to quantify differences.
5. Interpret the Results
- Highlight key findings, such as:
- Areas where performance has improved.
- Metrics that indicate decline or stagnation.
- Potential reasons for observed trends (e.g., curriculum changes, student engagement strategies).
6. Generate a Report & Recommendations
- Summarize insights in a structured report or dashboard.
- Provide actionable recommendations to improve academic performance.
- Suggest strategies such as curriculum adjustments, faculty training, or student support initiatives.
