| Tiivistelmä: | In the United Kingdom (UK) and elsewhere, current academics believe widely their workloads having increased significantly. This article explores this belief by analysing the findings of a survey series having reported on this and related issues since 1945. These suggest that while there has been an increase in academic workloads, much of this had occurred by the end of the 1960s. The position of research seems to have been maintained, although at a lower level in the newer universities or former polytechnics compared to the older universities. Administrative demands play a key role in the increased workload. There are suggested possible explanations for the apparent contradictions btw. perceptions and the survey evidence. |
