A Statewide Community College Model for Measuring Faculty Workload. AIR 1995 Annual Forum Paper.
Yankosky, Richard; And Others
A statewide system of reporting faculty workload for the 18 Maryland state community colleges is described, and study findings on faculty workload are presented. Data are collected for full-time teaching faculty who are tenured or on continuous contract. Major findings include: 89 percent of faculty workload is spent in formal classroom instruction; the statewide average for released time is three hours annually per faculty member (approximately one class); 83 percent of full-time faculty teach eight or more classes annually; a typical full-time faculty member generates an average of 547 student credit hours annually, and a typical full-time faculty member teaches an average of 21 students per class. The format for the faculty workload report is illustrated, and data are presented for the specific community colleges, which are grouped by size (large, medium, small). The data collected cover: number of faculty, contractual teaching hours, released time hours, contractual workload hours, teaching overload hours, total workload hours, contractual sections taught, overload sections taught, total students taught, average section size, and student credit hours.
