The Associate Program for Adjunct Faculty (APAF) at the College of the Canyons (CC) in Valencia, California, includes efforts to increase instructional quality by increasing the incidence of good teaching practices among part-time instructors. As part of a project to evaluate the APAF and to determine the involvement of adjunct faculty in the college, a survey was conducted in September 1992 of 116 adjunct faculty, 24 of whom had participated in the APAF. Usable responses were received from 108 teachers, resulting in a 93.1% response rate. Study findings included the following: (1) 33.3% of APAF participants had been employed at CC for 6 or more years, compared to 17.9% of non-participants; (2) 62.5% of APAF participants hoped to teach full-time at CC, compared to 49.4% of non-participants; (3) among APAF participants, 82.6% reported having completed a Master's degree or higher, while 69% of non-participants had done so; (4) 38.3% of all respondents reported that they "never" talk with their Division Chair, though 52.8% reported talking to their Lead Faculty Member at least once a month; (5) while 57.1% of non-participants reported talking with other faculty members in their department at least once a month, compared to 45.8% of APAF participants, APAF participants reported a greater number of discussions about teaching practices; (6) 29% of APAF participants reported involvement in campus governance, compared to 24.1% of non-participants; and (7) vocational part-time faculty reported communicating more frequently with their Division Chairs than academic faculty. Data tables, responses to open-ended questions, and the survey instrument are included. (PAA)
