Sheffield Hallam's Evaluation Repository was launched by Student Engagement Evaluation and Research (STEER) to share evidence and learning from (previously unpublished) evaluations of interventions and research that are carried out by staff members and students within the University and at partnership organisations. This includes interventions that aim to enhance outcomes at a stage of the student lifecycle (access, success and progression into employment and further study) and improve teaching practice.
The evaluation repository aims to raise awareness of practices that audiences can apply when designing and planning their own interventions and evaluations. Providers of higher education are “expected to engage routinely with the latest research and evaluation evidence available to contribute to refinement, and where necessary, review of its own activity” (The Office for Students). Sheffield Hallam has committed to developing the repository within its Access and Participation Plan as part of its goal to embed an evaluative mindset and promote a culture of evidence-led practice. Please access the evaluation repository website for further information.
Conducting evidence searches
Audiences can search for evidence from existing evaluations/research using either the basic or the advanced search functionality. The basic search functionality enables audiences to enter one or more search terms in a single text box. Advanced search functionality allows audiences to enter terms in multiple text boxes, such as title, authors, type of evidence, stage of the student lifecycle and key words.
