To determine the relationship and impact of student-faculty ratio on scholarship of pharmacy faculty members.
The number and rank of faculty members, pharmacy program characteristics, and faculty productivity data were collected to determine the impact of student-faculty ratio on faculty scholarship.
Faculty scholarship was not predicted by student-faculty ratio. Factors impacting positively on faculty productivity included National Institutes of Health funding; presence of clinical associate professors, instructors, and lecturers; and programs located in public universities.
Faculty productivity is not related to the student-faculty ratio, wherein more faculty members and fewer students equates to increased scholarship. However, public universities may have different infrastructures which are associated with greater academic productivity compared to private institutions. Additionally, utilizing instructors and clinical or nontenure-track faculty members can significantly increase scholarship among faculty members.
确定师生比与药学教师学术成就的关系和影响。
收集了教师人数和排名、药学课程特点以及教师生产力数据,以确定师生比对教师学术成就的影响。
师生比并不能预测教师学术成就。对教师生产力有积极影响的因素包括美国国立卫生研究院的资助;临床副教授、讲师和讲师的存在;以及位于公立大学的项目。
教师的生产力与师生比无关,即拥有更多的教师和更少的学生并不意味着学术成就会提高。然而,与私立机构相比,公立大学可能具有不同的基础设施,这与更高的学术生产力相关。此外,充分利用讲师和临床或非终身教职教师可以显著提高教师的学术成就。
