Drumbeats Alaska Course Enrollment / Trends & Curricula
The quantitative dataset for Strengthening Alaska Native Stewardship (SANS) USDA NIFA Award # 2019-38426-30390 is composed of student data from the Project’s courses taught by supported faculty. Student data is extracted from the Banner System by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Office of Planning, Analysis and Institutional Research (UAF PAIR) by request. The multiple data sets show aggregated duplicated and unduplicated student enrollment that includes Alaska Native and gender headcounts. Trends include the number of majors and credentials earned by program by project year and by campus.
The qualitative dataset includes curricula and training materials developed under SANS, two Evaluation Briefs and the annual evaluation report.

Ag Data CommonsIntended use
Student quantitative data sets inform the Project PI, the Project Directors, the Project Manager, faculty, UAF administration and the evaluator of the for-credit course and program’s popularity as shown by course and program major headcount. The cumulative data set is also a measure of project outputs and can be compared to the figures in the proposal’s Expected Outcomes Matrix, one gauge of the project meeting the number of students estimated to be served. The Alaska Native headcount shows relevance of the courses and programs for this special population which is specifically targeted in the USDA NIFA Alaska Native Serving and Native Hawai’ian Serving Institutions Education Competitive Grants Program (ANNH) award. The student data sets, along with qualitative data provides background information and an explanation of the student enrollment data set numbers for evaluation and planning purposes.Use limitations
One limitation of the quantitative dataset is the count of student race. When enrolling in a course, it is up to the student (and optional) to select a race. For example, in the 2019-2020 fiscal year, Project Year 1, there were 256 unduplicated students enrolled in project courses. 54% (138) of these students were Alaska Native, 29% (74) were another race (totaled by UAF PAIR) and 17% (44) students' race was unknown. However, the data shows that 36% (92) of these students were enrolled in Tribal Stewardship courses. A second limitation are the inconsistencies in project collected data and reporting on workshops, gardening experiences, volunteering/in-kind services that involve participants. A third limitation is specific to the evaluator. The quantitative data identified and reported in evaluation reports including the findings and conclusions are based on interpretation of data as arranged and narrated by the evaluator. The evaluator is limited by her life experiences as a non-Indigenous person, and years working with faculty, staff and administrators at the Alaska Native-Serving Institutions. However, she works on her cultural competence through self-reflection; evaluation work with Native team members, intermediaries, cultural mentors, and continuing friendships with Alaska Native women. The American Evaluation Association in its cultural competence statement (2011) states that it is important to note the limitations and benefits of the evaluator’s cultural competency to minimize misunderstandings and increase validity of the evaluation, as validity is linked to context.Temporal Extent Start Date
