Ces trois principaux indicateurs clés de performance (ICP) pour les universités ontariennes sont (1) les taux d’obtention des diplômes,(2) lestaux d’embauche et (3) lestaux de défaut de remboursementdes prêts du Régime d’aide financière aux étudiantes et étudiants de l’Ontario (RAFEO) .

The decision to develop and use key performance indicators (KPIs) was made that same decade, to help students reach informed program decisions (MET, 1998) . The required KPIs for the Ontario universities were graduation rates, employment rates, and Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) loan default rates. The research project behind this paper studied the impact of KPIs on a large group of Ontario universities—specifically, the efficacy of KPIs in the context for which they were adopted, 10 years following their implementation, as “key informants” saw them. This investigation further sought to identify areas of concern among the participants and to solicit suggestions for either altering or improving the KPIs’ effectiveness. The informants from the Ministry of Education and Training’s Task Force on University Accountability, known as the Broadhurst Task Force (named after the taskforce’s chair, Dr. William Broadhurst), included a member appointed by the ministry, a Council of Ontario Universities (COU) representative, and an observer/consultant","cbCaiuI1capeaWD1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuI1capeaWD1","pdf",641507,17,"English","# Abstract\n# Résumé\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What KPIs does the Ontario framework prioritize for universities?\",\"answer\":\"The framework prioritizes graduation rates, employment rates, and OSAP loan default rates.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted and who were the participants?\",\"answer\":\"The study is exploratory and descriptive, using responses from 12 key informants drawn from 11 participating universities.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the results indicate about the KPIs’ effectiveness?\",\"answer\":\"A clear majority of participants believe the KPIs are not having the intended impact.\"}]","The Efficacy of Key Performance Indicators in Ontario Universities as Perceived by Key Informants | PDF",1792083460,43]
