Organisations that exist to generate public value, including those that are not-for-profit, government, education and public-private partnerships, are increasingly required to navigate complex data and metrics to achieve goals defined in policy. This unit equips students with conceptual and theoretical knowledge regarding performance metrics in the context of public value creation in public administration and education settings, alongside key data analysis skills. As an outcome, students will be literate in reading, interpreting, critiquing and devising performance metrics, as well as skilfully deploy analytical methods to examine how metrics are shaped, and shape, outcomes.
Students must have passed FBL5030

Students will engage in learning experiences via ECU’s LMS as well as additional ECU learning technologies
The program, and the unit therein, specifically targets experienced educational leaders (such as School principals). It is anticipated that the on-campus unit offering delivered from ECU City will be timetabled to be accessible to Perth-based school principals, such as evenings, or delivered in intensive blocks during school holidays. The unit will cover key public administration theory (applicable to education, not-for-profit, government, and other related contexts), and scaffold key learning related to data analytics. Classes will delivered using an inquiry-led, problem-based pedagogy, whereupon cases (live and historical) will form the subject of exploration of content taught in class. The unit has been designed to be in-step with the principals of ECU’s Curriculum Transformation Program (CTP). Whence this program engages with the CTP formally, it is likely that summative assessment will be extracted from the unit itself (as it is a learning unit), and be subsumed into a final, capstone assessment unit. Until then, the unit’s assessment will be designed to be authentic by simulating or utilising real policy-data challenges with relevance to the experienced, educational leader cohort.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. Informal vivas may be conducted as part of an assessment task, where staff require further information to confirm the learning outcomes have been met. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
