Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Adjustment of the Teaching Load in an University The purpose of the investigation. - Until the past decade or two educational administration has been notably laggard in attacking its problems by methods approximating the scientific. Tradition, sentiment, rule of thumb, temporizing compromise - these have been, and unfortunately, still are, the dominant methods in this important field of human enterprise. One of the largest of the problems in the administration of educational institutions is that of the proper method of determination of the working load of the members of the instructional staff. This problem has been with us ever since we have had schools. Administrators are only beginning to address serious efforts to its scientific solution. This is true even in our higher institutions, to which, because they have been the protagonists of scientific method, we should first turn for the light of example on such a significant problem. The investigation reported here is a pioneering attack upon this problem as it concerns colleges and universities. Being a pioneering study, it is admittedly defective and subject to improvement. At many points, as will be indicated, it is not safe to draw conclusions, and some of the conclusions drawn must, of course, when more and better facts are available, turn out to be inconclusive. It is believed, however, that there is here demonstrated a method of determining teaching loads for the instructional staff of a higher institution that is deserving of wider application - a method that is much more objective and reliable than the methods of tradition, sentiment, rule of thumb, and temporizing compromise that are now in use. It is believed, further, that there are a number of specific conclusions that will commend themselves to the judgment of many for their immediate applicability.
