“…Student-centered approaches are ideal for executing data-informed strategies because of the many ways in which institutions can gather details regarding students' engagement, behaviors, and progress. Miller and Bell (2016) state that the goal of analyzing student data should be to apply it to positively influence student success. However, if not managed intentionally, these analyses can negatively impact students' experiences.…”

Data-informed decision-making is no longer an optional or occasional practice, as higher education professionals now routinely respond to calls for accountability by providing data to show how their work impacts students. Institutions are operating with a culture that, at a minimum, includes the use of descriptive and diagnostic analyses to assess how students have performed, as well as real-time analyses to monitor current progress. Such regular data use provides a foundation for more advanced examinations to predict student outcomes, and those forecasts will ultimately inform the prescription of specific interventions to help students succeed. However, prescribed solutions are only effective when delivered with appropriate levels of care and consideration of students’ needs and perspectives. In this essay, I describe the challenges and opportunities of advancing from prediction to prescription and I present four tactics for how professionals can do so with student-centered approaches.

Methods:The Brandman University Strut Learning platform offers a set of analytics that can be utilized by Academic Coaches, Tutorial Faculty, and Administrators as student performance metrics. Reports summarizing that data have indicators for student progress in the program, competency, and learning activity level, as well as topics and subtopics with which the students may need additional support. We began this investigation by assuming that our dependent variable, student success, should be measured by the length of time required for completing the competency (Note: some of the concluding remarks pertain directly to this decision, and points to future directions for the investigation). Our intention was to evaluate the relationship that our dependent variable might have statistically with seventeen independent variables all related to student satisfaction, including: Academic Coaching, Online Writing and Math Center, Library Support, and Tutorial Faculty Support.Findings: It was speculated that satisfaction about the individual services involved might be related to overall satisfaction with the program. The Student Services that showed the greatest correlation between satisfaction in individual services and overall satisfaction. Conclusion:We found strong statistical association between students' beliefs about the importance of a student service and their satisfaction in that same service. We also found strong statistical association between students' satisfaction in individual student services and their satisfaction overall in the program. However, we found a weak association in the most critical area -whether the satisfaction in the student services is related to our definition of student success.
