Each step will be illustrated by examples from the media and from real surveys. | |||

| Presenter: | Margaret Carmichael and Donna Patz, Athabasca University | |||
| 6. | Title: | A preview of outputs of the Enhanced Student Information System (ESIS) *This topic will be repeated in French. | ||
| Description: | This session is primarily intended to demonstrate by way of
illustrative example, the types of queries institutions reporting in
ESIS format will be able to run against the main ESIS database.
Using ESIS data reported by Maritime institutions, Statistics
Canada will provide answers to a variety of research questions
of interest to registrars and institutional researchers. The
session will focus on providing a good overview of the range of
questions possible rather than concentrating on detailed analysis
of any one issue. In the interest of providing useful data back to
respondents, participants will be asked for feedback about what
other types of ESIS information Statistics Canada should
provide. Cette séance vise surtout à illustrer par des exemples les types de demandes que les établissements d'enseignement qui communiquent des données au SIAE pourraient faire à la banque de données principales du SIAE. Se servant de données déclarées par les établissements d'enseignement des Maritimes, Statistique Canada fournira des réponses à diverses questions de recherche qui intéressent les registraires et les chercheurs institutionnels. La séance visera avant tout à donner un bon aperçu de l'éventail des questions possibles, plutôt qu'à analyser en détail une question en particulier. Pour pouvoir aux répondants des données qui leur seront utiles, Statistique Canada demandera aux participants quels sont, selon eux, les autres types de renseignements que Statistique Canada devrait tirer du SIAE et fournir. |
