The purpose was to assess the extent of use of Making Achievement Possible reports in aiding hall directors in making decisions for their hall in five areas: academic initiatives, hall activities, disciplinary proceedings, conversations with students, and assessing community. Current hall directors were surveyed during January 2002 regarding use of MAP reports in these areas. Two focus groups were held to gain more specific examples of report use, to determine possible changes, and to identify factors that affect use in decision-making. It was determined that the reports are used in academic initiatives, disciplinary proceedings, and in assessing community strengths, but are not used in other areas of job responsibility. Issues that affected use included time, training, and the amount of information found on the report. Training in basic research methodology and in applying results to practice could lead to better utilization of the MAPP reports in hall decision-making. / Department of Educational Studies
