Abstract: |
The purpose of this study was to develop an academic accounting
model to monitor internally the instructional programs at community
colleges. The two components of the model were (a) a faculty workload
model and (b) a productivity model.
The faculty workload model consisted of seven categories of
faculty activity and a workload point system. One full-time equivalent
faculty (FTEF) was equated to 60 points.
For the purpose of this study, enrollment was measured in terms
of student credits and productivity was defined as a ratio: the
number of student credits produced per FTEF. The productivity model,
in terms of student credits and workload points, was given by the
equation
_ 60 x SC
F " AP
where P is productivity, SC is the number of student credits produced,
and AP is the number of workload points assigned.
The productivity model can be used to compute productivity at
almost any level of aggregation, e.g., a single class, a group of
courses, a department, or a campus. For a single class or a group of courses, the relationships between productivity and class size were
presented in four theorems.
The major applications of the study consisted of selected demonstrations.
In each demonstration, it was shown that a desired productivity
can be achieved at one level of aggregation by controlling
certain variables within sub-levels. In particular, it was shown that
a desired department productivity can be achieved by controlling
average class sizes of homogeneous groups of courses and that a desired
campus productivity can be achieved by controlling the productivities
of departments. |
