| Summary: | A survey was conducted in an effort to determine the state of development of institutional research in Ohio public two-year institutions. A questionnaire mailed to the chief administrative officer at each campus yielded a response rate of 84%. Results of the survey showed: (1) at least 84% of the two-year campuses have or may be served by an institutional research office; (2) 62% of the autonomous campuses had institutional research offices; (3) the educational backgrounds of those responsible for institutional research was generally strong, although most had only one to five years of research experience; (4) only six of the two-year campuses had a person responsible for institutional research on a full-time basis, while 32% of the campuses required less than 25% of a staff member's time in the research function; (5) approximately 300 studies were conducted annually at two-year campuses and respondents indicated significant interest for further studies related to curriculum, instruction, goals and objectives, public relations, and community studies; and (6) priorities for institutional research were identified as determination of future and immediate needs and identification of institutional strengths and weaknesses, but preparation of descriptive reports, while low in priority, was the second most time-consuming function.
