ABSTRACT

Faculty are often evaluated on perceptions of their teaching effectiveness, their service activities, and their research productivity. To meet their institutional standards in each area, the faculty must properly allocate and manage their time. Administrators and department chairs have the means to facilitate or hinder faculty research productivity through teaching and service assignments. This paper provides administrators and faculty with a framework to evaluate each faculty member’s annual workload to ensure that adequate time should be available to meet institutional expectations. This framework illustrates the negative effects that multiple course preparations and heavy teaching loads have on research productivity. Institutional policies should be adjusted to consider these effects on their faculty’s research productivity.

摘要

通常根据对教师教学效率，服务活动和研究生产率的看法来评估教师。为了满足他们在每个领域的机构标准，教师必须适当地分配和管理他们的时间。管理员和部门主席具有通过教学和服务分配来促进或阻碍教师研究生产率的手段。本文为管理人员和教师提供了一个框架，以评估每个教师的年度工作量，以确保有足够的时间满足机构的期望。该框架说明了多门课程准备和繁重的教学负担对研究生产率的负面影响。应该调整机构政策，以考虑这些因素对其教师研究效率的影响。
