Overall trends of academic staffing in the US have indicated declines in tenure, increased use of contingent faculty, and stratification of teaching and research efforts. However, little is known about academic staffing patterns in professional programs, and little research has been done using program-level data. The purposes of this study were to identify faculty staffing patterns, determine if patterns change over time, and identify predictors of staffing patterns in US-based physical therapy programs. Yearly program-level accreditation data from 2008 to 2017 were analyzed. A finite mixture model analysis identified staffing patterns. Logistic regression analyses were run to predict category membership and observe change over time. Two academic staffing categories emerged: (1) Broad staffing patterns (90.4% of programs) composed of more core faculty on tenure track and who held academic degrees and (2) Flexible programs (9.7% of observations) with higher numbers of core faculty, fewer faculty on tenure track, and fewer faculty with an academic doctoral degree. There was little change over time from one category to another. Programs were more likely to adopt a Flexible pattern when budget and faculty teaching time rose. Membership to one of two staffing models appears to be predicted by institutional reliance on professional programs for revenues. Either programs lower expenses by having tenured faculty balance teaching and research, or they rely on non-tenured faculty positions and higher enrollments.

教师配置模式:专业理疗课程的广度和灵活性

美国学术人员配备的总体趋势表明,任期减少,特遣队教师的使用增加以及教学和研究工作分层。但是,对于专业程序中的学术人员配置模式知之甚少,使用程序级数据进行的研究也很少。这项研究的目的是确定教师的人员配备模式,确定其模式是否随时间变化,并确定基于美国的物理治疗计划中人员配备模式的预测因素。分析了2008年至2017年的年度计划级别认证数据。有限混合模型分析确定了人员配置模式。进行逻辑回归分析以预测类别成员并观察随时间的变化。出现了两个学术人员编制类别:(1)广泛的人员编制模式(90。4%的课程)由拥有更多终身制学位并拥有学历的核心教师组成;(2)弹性课程(占观察数的9.7%),具有更高的核心教师数量,终身制教师数量更少,具有学术博士学位的教师数量更少程度。随着时间的推移,从一个类别到另一个类别几乎没有变化。当预算和教师教学时间增加时,课程更有可能采用灵活模式。似乎可以通过机构对收入的专业计划的依赖来预测两种人员配置模型之一的成员资格。要么通过聘用终身任职的教职人员来平衡教学和研究费用,要么降低课程费用,或者依靠非终身任职的教职人员职位和更高的入学人数。终身制教师减少,具有博士学位的教师减少。随着时间的推移,从一个类别到另一个类别几乎没有变化。当预算和教师教学时间增加时,课程更有可能采用灵活模式。似乎可以通过机构对收入的专业计划的依赖来预测两种人员配置模型之一的成员资格。要么通过聘用终身任职的教职人员来平衡教学和研究费用,要么降低课程费用,或者依靠非终身任职的教职人员职位和更高的入学人数。终身制教师减少,具有博士学位的教师减少。随着时间的推移,从一个类别到另一个类别几乎没有变化。当预算和教师教学时间增加时,课程更有可能采用灵活模式。似乎可以通过机构对收入的专业计划的依赖来预测两种人员配置模型之一的成员资格。要么通过聘用终身任职的教职人员来平衡教学和研究费用,要么降低课程费用,或者依靠非终身任职的教职人员职位和更高的入学人数。似乎可以通过机构对收入的专业计划的依赖来预测两种人员配置模型之一的成员资格。要么通过聘用终身任职的教职人员来平衡教学和研究费用,要么降低课程费用,或者依靠非终身任职的教职人员职位和更高的入学人数。似乎可以通过机构对收入的专业计划的依赖来预测两种人员配置模型之一的成员资格。要么通过聘用终身任职的教职人员来平衡教学和研究费用,要么降低课程费用,或者依靠非终身任职的教职人员职位和更高的入学人数。
