Download or read book Analyzing Faculty Workload written by Jon F. Wergin and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1994-12-07 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question being asked with increasing regularity is, Just what do faculty members do? Studies of faculty workload have been commisioned in state after state. Taken together, the studies indicate that college faculty members are working harder than ever but are probably teaching less and are almost certainly having less contact with students, particularly undergraduates. This volume of New Directions for Institutional Research explores how the public discourse about faculty work might be improved and suggests how colleges and universities might document that work in a fashion that not only more faithfully describes what faculty do but also allows for reports that are more comprehensive and useful. This is the 83rd issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Institutional Research. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.

Book excerpt: Kinds of faculty workload data that can be obtained from college and faculty reports are examined, along with potential problems in workload studies. A main research concern is deciding which faculty activities should be considered as workload. Types of data that are sometimes used in colleges' faculty workload formulas concern student credit hours, faculty contract hours, and student/faculty ratios. However, these measures ignore noninstructional time and they assume that the same amount of time is involved in teaching all three-credit courses, regardless of discipline and course level. Faculty reports on their activities are another information source, using interviews, diaries, or work samples. Possible research problems include a biased sample, the time of survey administration, the time period covered, time allocation, and study reliability and validity. Factors that can affect workload data include demographic factors (discipline, country, institution); scheduling factors (class size, course level, course type, preparations); and individual factors (rank, gender, and individual differences). Ten recommendations are offered concerning such issues as the sponsorship of the study, study methods, the effect of teaching load on scholarship, and the relationship between teaching load and teaching effectiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An invaluable resource for any college and university striving tomeet the National Cost Commission's call to make what colleges doand what it costs more 'transparent' to the public." --Jacqueline E. King, director, federal policy analysis, AmericanCouncil on Education Defining and measuring faculty productivity are among the mostcentral issues for quality and accountability in higher education.Known for assembling some of the most authoritative research onfaculty productivity--and for analyzing its impact on academic andinstitutional accountability--Michael F. Middaugh presents thiscomprehensive volume to help campus professionals build greateraccountability for students, parents, foundations, governmentalorganizations, and other concerned constituents. Middaugh firstdraws from a research study funded by TIAA-CREF's CooperativeResearch Grant Program and the Fund for Postsecondary Educationwithin the U.S. Department of Education. He then provides a newframework for analyzing faculty efficiency and emphasizes how theresults of faculty work can become the best indicators ofproductivity. He also applies the joint study findings to the taskof developing benchmarks for faculty productivity. Practitionersfrom any type of campus will find a rich array of data, valuablerecommendations, and relevant examples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of every even numbered year, the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) conducts a faculty workload study. The Fall 2004 Faculty Workload Report marks the first year of information collected under a newly redesigned methodology. During the 2003-04 academic year, the NSHE Board of Regents assembled a faculty workload task force to analyze and address issues related to systemwide faculty workload policies and data reporting. As a result of these efforts, the NSHE adopted a formalized workload policy (see Appendix A) containing expected instructional teaching loads for each type of institution. The Task Force recommended a new research methodology for collecting faculty workload data including: (1) Redesign of workload reporting forms to incorporate new data elements, as well as a common set of definitions; (2) Record out-of-classroom activities by collecting annual output, instead of average hours per week; (3) Report instructional workloads from institutional databases specifically designed to collect faculty workload; and (4) Collect workload information that is validated by faculty, as well as department heads. As a result of this new data collection and reporting methodology, information presented in this report is not comparable to previous years' workload data. As information is collected in future semesters, all attempts will be made to compare workloads as they are measured over time. Appendices include: (1) Faculty Workload Guidelines ("Title 4, Chapter 3, Section 3"); (2) Instructional Workload Form, University & State College; (3) Out-of-Classroom Activities Form, University & State College; (4) Instructional Workload Form, Community College; (5) Out-of-Classroom Activities Form, Community Colleges; (6) Out-of-Classroom Definitions, University & State College; and (7) Out-of-Classroom Definitions, Community Colleges.
