Creating an equitable faculty workload model is an ongoing concern. This research evaluated the effectiveness of and satisfaction with a new faculty teaching workload model 1 year after implementation.
Data were collected through secondary analysis of faculty assignment spreadsheets, online survey of all full-time nursing faculty members, online survey of college of nursing administrators, and financial analysis.
Individual faculty teaching loads were not consistent with the workload model. Tenure-track faculty members were assigned higher workloads than the model. Faculty members strongly preferred to have input into their schedule. Both faculty members and administrators identified strengths and opportunities for the model.
Creating equitable faculty assignments is complex. Administrators and faculty members need to establish a mutual understanding of the process used to calculate equitable workloads and protect time for service and scholarship commensurate with faculty rank.
创建公平的教师工作量模型是一个持续关注的问题。本研究评估了新的教师教学工作量模型实施 1 年后的效果和满意度。
通过对教师分配电子表格的二次分析、对所有全职护理教师的在线调查、对护理学院管理人员的在线调查以及财务分析收集数据。
个别教师的教学工作量与工作量模型不一致。终身教职教师的工作量比模型规定的要高。教师强烈希望对自己的时间表有发言权。教师和管理人员都发现了模型的优势和机会。
创建公平的教师分配是复杂的。管理人员和教师需要建立对计算公平工作量过程的相互理解,并保护与教师职级相称的服务和学术时间。
