Faculty members experience a gap between how they would prefer to spend their work time and how they actually do so. In this article we report results from a four-week workshop called “The Terrapin Time Initiative.” It was guided by theories of behavioral economics and behavioral design, which suggest that small changes to the context, or “choice architecture,” in which individuals make choices can enhance decision-making. Results indicate that the workshop was effective in changing the “choice architecture” in which faculty made decisions about their time-use, thereby helping them to develop new strategies for managing their time.

Terrapin 时间倡议：加强教师工作重点和时间使用之间一致性的研讨会

教职员工在他们更愿意如何度过工作时间与他们实际如何度过之间遇到了差距。在这篇文章中，我们报告了一个名为“Terrapin Time Initiative”的为期 4 周的研讨会的结果。它以行为经济学和行为设计理论为指导，这些理论表明，个人做出选择的环境或“选择架构”的微小变化可以增强决策。结果表明，研讨会有效地改变了教师对时间使用做出决定的“选择架构”，从而帮助他们制定新的时间管理策略。
