Teaching Scholars Programs are designed to enhance productivity and faculty retention. The formation of an increased network may be a facilitative mechanism.
This study determined if participants increased their educational network and if the increase affected productivity.
Researchers interviewed Teaching Scholars participants for pre- and postparticipation members of their educational network and issues related to network formation and conducted a structured vita analysis. Researchers used social network analysis (SNA) to describe the networks and regression to determine the relationship between network and productivity.
Educational networks increased with participation (p <.001) but showed little or no effect on productivity. SNA revealed a decrease of participants with no network, increase in connections among participants, and increase in connections to central services personnel. Researchers identified six themes from the participants' comments.
This relatively modest program demonstrated a small effect on productivity through the increased network.
教学学者计划旨在提高生产力和教师保留率。增加网络可能是一个促进机制。
本研究旨在确定参与者是否增加了他们的教育网络，以及这种增加是否影响了他们的生产力。
研究人员对教学学者计划的参与者进行了访谈，询问了他们在参与前后教育网络中的成员，以及与网络形成和结构 vita 分析相关的问题。研究人员使用社会网络分析（SNA）来描述网络，并进行回归分析以确定网络与生产力之间的关系。
教育网络随着参与而增加（p<.001），但对生产力的影响很小或没有。SNA 显示参与者中没有网络的人数减少，参与者之间的联系增加，以及与中央服务人员的联系增加。研究人员从参与者的评论中确定了六个主题。
这个相对较小的计划通过增加网络对生产力产生了微小的影响。
