Abstract—This study explores the content of Institutional Research and its application on school management focused on students’ learning achievement and behavioral performance forewarning. We conducted a case study of a senior high school in Taiwan to explore the empirical application of IR results on finding school management solutions. On the ground of a three-aspect literature review of senior high school institutional work, IR, and school forewarning systems, the study demonstrated how to employ IR concepts and school forewarning systems to analyze the student data of learning achievement and behavioral performance in a senior high school beyond student evaluation. Based on the aforementioned empirical results of IR, the study delved into meanings behind numbers, and attempted to find possible solutions to problems.
Index Terms—Institutional research (IR), school management, senior high school, forewarning.
