Impact evaluation with small cohorts pilot
What are we doing?
We are working with six higher education (HE) providers to pilot the use of impact evaluation methodologies that can be implemented with small cohorts of students – often referred to as ‘small n’ evaluations – in their work.
We are working with the following providers on the project:
- City College Norwich (CCN)
- University Centre Leeds (part of Luminate Education Group)
- University of Suffolk
- Plymouth Marjon University
- University of Leeds (Lifelong Learning Centre)
- Leeds Arts University
This project forms part of TASO’s work to help the HE sector develop more causal evidence. HE providers – particularly small or specialist providers – may face issues when generating causal evidence with smaller cohorts, as existing methods can be difficult to use in such contexts.
We hope to build a community of practice through this work to better understand the opportunities and challenges faced when implementing these methodologies.
