Academic staff workload

Description

It is a quantitative indicator that shows ratio of teaching hours offered per FTE teaching staff.

To a better approach it would be interesting to have credit points as unit of real hours, taking into account teaching hours, preparation and mentoring.

It is also recommended to standardize the value with the gross number of academic staff.

As far as the level of decision making is concerned, it is a tactical indicator and falls within Teaching & Learning scope.

Decision-making uses

• Observe the balance between various functions (teaching, research, community engagement etc.).
