泰晤士报》2010年英国大学排行榜(TIMes Online:2010 University Rankings)

《泰晤士报》2010年英国大学排行榜概述

Universities were ranked aCCOrding to measures in eight key PErformance areas; Student Satisfaction, Research Quality, Entry Standards, Student-Staff Ratios, Services & Facilities Spend, Completion, Good Honours and Graduate PRospects.

All sources of the raw DATa used in the table are in the public domain. The National Student Survey (NSS) was the source of the Student Satisfaction data. This was an initiative undertaken by the Funding Councils for England, Northern Ireland and Wales designed, as an element of the quality assurance for higher education, to inform prospective students and their advisers in choosing what and where to study. The survey encompasses the views of final year students on the quality of their courses.

The information regarding Research Quality was sourced from the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, a peer review exercise to EVAluate the quality of research in UK higher education institutions undertaken by the UK higher education funding bodies. The previous Research Assessment Exercise took place in 2001. Staffing data supplied by HESA were also used to evaluate the extent to which the research ratings related to total academic staff.

Entry Standards, Student-Staff Ratios, Services & Facilities Spend, Completion, Good Honours and Graduate Prospects data were supplied by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) which provides a system of data collection, analysis, and dissemination in relation to higher education in the whole of the United Kingdom. The original sources of data for these measures are data returns made by the universities themselves to HESA.

The provISIon of the data by the above sources DOEs not necessarily imply agreement with the data transformation and construction of the table. Universities were provided with sets of their own HESA data, which form the basis of the table, in advance of publication and were offered the opportunity to check the information. Some universities supplied replaCEMent corrected data.

In building the table, scores for Student Satisfaction and Research Quality were weighted by 1.5; all other indicators were weighted by 1. The indicators were comBIned using a z-score transformation and the totals were transformed to a scale with 1000 for the top score. For Entry Standards, Good Honours and Graduate Prospects the score was adjusted for subject mix.

The detailed definitions of the indicators are given below.

Student Satisfaction

The percentage of positive responses (Agree & Definitely Agree) in EACh of the six question areas (TeACHing, Assessment & Feedback, Academic Support, Organisation & Management, LEArning Resources and Personal DevelOPMent) plus the Overall Satisfaction question were coMBined to provide a composite score and averaged over two years. For institutions where a NSS score does not exist the average of their other scores is used. Source: 2007 & 2008 National Student Survey.

Research Quality

Overall quality of research based on the new 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). The outputs of the RAE gave EACh institution a profile in the following categories: 4* world-LEAding, 3* internationally excellent and 2* internationally recognised (with another two lower categories). The Funding Bodies decided only to fund research in the higher 3 categories, and directed more funds to the very best research by applying weightings: 4* receiving 7 times the weight of 2*, and 3* receiving 3 times the weight of 2*. These weightings have been used in the tables. As an example, in the calculations used a university with 10% of its submitted research at 4* and 90% at 3* would generate an initial score of 3.4 (i.e. 0.1 x 7 + 0.9 x 3). This represents the first stage of the scoring.

Estimations of the eligible staff for each university were made drawing from publicly available data (HESA, 2007/08) that have been quality assured by universities themselves. The eligible staff data include all staff directly responsible for teaching and research (i.e. all ‘teaching and research’ staff, and all ‘teaching only’ staff). Most universities will have submitted at least some ‘research only’ staff, but many staff in that category would not have been eligible for the RAE - to address that effect ‘research only’ staff are included only if they are more senior based on salary levels. An adjustment has also been made to reflect the patterns of staffing in those institutions who carry out further education as well as higher education, with a reduction in the estimation of eligible staff pro rata to their HE student numbers.

The grade shown in the RAE column is the product of these two stages – i.e. the quality score is multiplied by the staff submitted as a proportion of the estimated staff eligible.

Entry Standards

Mean tarIFF point scores on entry for first year, first degree students under 21 years of age based on A and AS Levels and Highers and Advanced Highers only. Entrants with zero tariffs were excluded from the calculation. Source: HESA 2007/8.

Student-staff ratio

The number of students at each institution as defined in the HESA Session HE and FE populations as an FTE (full-time equivalent) divided by the number of staff FTE based on academic staff including Teaching Only and Teaching & Research staff but excluding Research Only staff. Atypical staff are included in this calculation. Source: HESA 2007/8.

Services and Facilities Spend

A two year average of expenditure on Academic Services and Staff & Student Facilities, divided by the total number of full time equivalent students. Source: HESA 2005/6 and 2006/7.

Completion

Percentage of students projected to leave with a degree including students who transfer to other institutions. The HESA Performance Indicator uses current movements of students to project the eventual outcome. The measure used in the table projects what proportion of students will eventually gain a degree, what proportion will leave their current university or college but transfer into higher education and is presented as a proportion of students with known data. Source: HESA Performance Indicators published June 2008 (table T5 - uses 2006/7 entrant cohort).

Good Honours

The number of students who graduated with a first or upper second class degree as a proportion of the total number of graduates with classified degrees. Enhanced first degrees, such as a MEng gained after four-year engineering course were treated as equivalent to a first or upper second. Source: HESA 2007/8.

Graduate Prospects

Destinations of full-time first degree UK domICIled leavers. The destination categories were based upon a split of SOC 2000 codes for graduates and leavers entering employment, together with type of qualification codes for graduates and leavers entering further study. This split of SOC 2000 codes was derived from Elias & Purcell’s report ‘SOC (HE) A Classification of occupations for studying the graduate labour market’ (Institute for Employment Research, Warwick). This split of SOC 2000 codes produces four categories of graduate level employment (‘Traditional graduate occupations’, ‘Modern graduate occupations’, ‘New graduate occupations’, ‘NIChe graduate occupations’). The data were derived from the HESA Destination of Leavers from HE (DLHE) Record. Source: HESA 2007/8 based on 2007 graduates.

The analysis of the results of the Research Assessment Exercise 2008 makes use of contextual data supplied under contract by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). It is a contractual condition that this statement should be published in conjunction with the analysis.

“HESA holds no data speCIFying which or how many staff have been regarded by each institution as eligible for inclusion in RAE 2008, and no data on the assignment to Units of Assessment of those eligible staff not included. Further, the data that HESA does hold is not an adequate alternative basis on which to estimate eligible staff numbers, whether for an institution as a whole, or disaggregated by Units of Assessment, or by some broader subject-based grouping.”

Subject Tables

Subject tables were based on 4 indicators: Research Quality, Entry Standards and Graduate Prospects and, for the first time, Student Satisfaction. (Education includes a fifth Indicator – the most current teaching training assessments by Ofsted.) Theses were combined using a z-score transformation with equal weighting for the indicators and the totals were transformed to a scale with 100 for the top score.

Student Satisfaction

The percentage of positive responses (Agree & Definitely Agree) in each of the six question areas (Teaching, Assessment & Feedback, Academic Support, Organisation & Management, Learning Resources and Personal DevelOPMent) plus the Overall Satisfaction question were combined to provide a composite score and averaged over two years. This was mapped at 107 subject level to the Times subjects. If a score did not exist at this level then the 41 subject level data was used or, if that did not exist, 19 subject level. For institutions where an NSS score was not present at any of these levels the average score of the other indicators was used. Source: 2007 & 2008 National Student Survey.

Research Quality

Overall quality of research based on the new 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. The output of the RAE gave each institution a profile in the following categories: 4* world-leading, 3* internationally excellent and 2* internationally recognised (with another two lower categories). The Funding Bodies decided only to fund research in the higher 3 categories, and directed more funds to the very best research by applying weightings: 4* receiving 7 times the weight of 2*, and 3* receiving 3 times the weight of 2*. These weightings have been used in the tables. Estimations of the proportion of eligible staff submitted were not sufficiently robust at subject level to be used.

Entry Standards

Mean tariff point scores on entry for first year, first degree students under 21 years of age based on A and AS Levels and Highers and Advanced Highers only. Entrants with zero tariffs were excluded from the calculation. Source: HESA 2007/8.

Graduate Prospects

Destinations of full-time first degree UK domiciled leavers aggregated over two years. The destination categories were based upon a split of SOC 2000 codes for graduates and leavers entering employment, together with type of qualification codes for graduates and leavers entering further study. This split of SOC 2000 codes was derived from Elias & Purcell’s report ‘SOC (HE) A Classification of occupations for studying the graduate labour market’ (Institute for Employment Research, Warwick). This split of SOC 2000 codes produces four categories of graduate level employment (‘Traditional graduate occupations’, ‘Modern graduate occupations’, ‘New graduate occupations’, ‘Niche graduate occupations’). The data were derived from the HESA Destination of Leavers from HE (DLHE) Record. Source: HESA 2005/6 and 2006/7.
