Is Released Time An Effective Component of Faculty Development Programs?

Boice, Robert

Research in Higher Education, v26 n3 p311-26 1987

Emerging skepticism about released time from teaching or service stems from a lack of evidence supporting its usefulness and from the mixed messages it gives about the value of teaching. Four demonstrational experiments confirm that skepticism. An alternative to traditional released-time programs is described. (Author/MLW)
