This one-day conference will explore the role of causal (or “type three”) evidence when evaluating access, participation and education policy and practice. It is aimed at evaluation practitioners and commissioners, education policy advisors and makers, and researchers.
Through a series of keynote talks, poster presentations and small group discussions, the conference will explore how we can understand and evidence causal claims in higher education evaluations, what methods we can use to produce ‘good’ evidence, and how different types of evidence can be combined to address complex policy questions.
Themes include:
- The current and future role of evaluation in access and participation
- The role of causal evidence (“type three”) in HE evaluation – what it is and how we can use it
- Methodological and policy considerations on what ‘good’ evidence for policy and practice should look like.
Speakers include:
- John Blake, Director for Fair Access and Participation, Office for Students
- Annette Hayton, Convener, NERUPI & Joanne Moore, Research & Development Officer, NERUPI
- Prof. Camille Kandiko Howson, Professor of Education, Imperial College London
- Prof. Emma McCoy, Vice President and Pro-Vice Chancellor (Education), LSE
