Role Preferences of Faculty in Different Age Groups and Academic Disciplines

Kelly, Richard; Hart, B. Derrell

Sociology of Education, 44, 3, 351-357, Sum 71

Seventy per cent of a random sample of 350 faculty of a small state university returned questionnaires revealing agreement on teaching as the most important faculty role, with character-building second, and research third. However, both younger faculty and those in social and natural science reversed the order of the latter two roles. (Author/DB)
