| Abstract: | A study was conducted in order to determine appropriate components for a full-time faculty workload policy at Central Florida Community College (CFCC). A questionnaire was utilized in a survey of 27 CFCC faculty on what should constitute workload, and workload data for fall term 1976-77 were tabulated. The faculty workload policies of other states were reviewed through the literature and telephone interviews with eight other Florida community colleges were conducted. Results of the survey and tabulation of data from the other sources indicated that full-time faculty workloads averaged fifteen semester hours. In addition, it was found that the average sum of student contact hours and semester hours assigned to full-time CFCC faculty was approximately 33. Because student contact hours are a required portion of the instructor's responsibility and since the State of Florida mandates that a full-time instructional load consists of fifteen semester hours, recommendation was made that the faculty workload policy be quantified as the sum of semester and contact hours not to exceed 33. Additionally, it was recommended that workloads be continuously monitored in order that workloads which do not give instructors adequate preparation time be eliminated. Tabular data are presented throughout the report and a bibliography is appended. (JDS) |
