MINOTTO NETO, Atilio; CORSO, Leandro Luis  e  COSTA, Guilherme Holsbach. A metric for teaching workload evaluation in higher education institutions. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.2, pp.424-445. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-40772021000200005.

The management of teaching occupation in higher education institutions is a problem that affects public and, mainly, private universities. A fair distribution of tasks to teachers directly affects the quality of teaching, the production of knowledge, institutional sustainability and, mainly, the health of teachers. This work proposes a method for evaluating the composition of the workload based on a tool called the Hierarchical Analytic Process, aiming at equity in terms of workload (which does not mean the same as equity in the amount of hours dedicated to different activities). As the main contribution, a metric, called Workload Coefficient, is proposed, which can be easily adapted to the reality of each institution. Despite the mathematical bases, when implemented computationally, the use of this metric becomes simple and accessible to managers in any area of knowledge.

Palavras-chave : Workload; Teaching occupation; Hierarchical analytic process.
