Further improvements to the teaching of the School of Marketing will be sought through a new research project to be undertaken by a team which includes a member of the School of Marketing. Dr Bruce Perrott and his colleagues have been awarded a Faculty of Business Teaching & Learning Grant for a project titled 'The Invisible Faculty: An investigation of the role and support needs of part-time Faculty of Business teaching staff.' The Project Leader is Dr Doug Davis (School of Management), and others involved are Dr Len Perry, Dr Stephen Topple, and Mr Bob Connor.

The goals of the project are:

  • to establish an information base from which programs that support and develop the teaching capabilities of the Faculty’s part-time teaching staff can be derived;
  • to build a profile of the concerns and needs of part-time teaching staff throughout the Faculty; to investigate the attitudes of part-time teaching staff towards the University, the Faculty, the sponsoring School, the student body and the quality of their teaching work;
  • to establish the extent to which part-time teaching staff are able to apply practice based experience to their classroom teaching; and
  • to identify ‘best practice’ in terms of cost effective support for part-time teaching staff at UTS and make recommendations to the Faculty of Business to consider implementation.
