1 CORSO DI LAUREA IN ORGANIZZAZIONE DEI SERVIZI DELLA PUBBLICA AMMINISTRAZIONE POLITICA ECONOMICA 2014/2015 DOES CHEAPER MEAN BETTER? THE IMPACT OF USING ADJUNCT INSTRUCTORS ON STUDENT OUTCOMES Eric P. BETTINGER and Bridget Terry LONG FERRARI SALVATORE The review of Economics and Statistics Mart.120762 August 2010

2 DOES CHEAPER MEAN BETTER? THE IMPACT OF USING ADJUNCT INSTRUCTORS ON STUDENT OUTCOMES INTRODUCTION American industries have tried to save on costs and increase employment, using part-time This change had a considerable importance also in the field of education ↑ of part-time faculty, particularly ADJUNCT INSTRUCTORS 2

3 DOES CHEAPER MEAN BETTER? THE IMPACT OF USING ADJUNCT INSTRUCTORS ON STUDENT OUTCOMES INTRODUCTION Regarding higher education, critics argue that adjuncts reduce educational quality because they often have less education than full-time professors On the other hand, by specializing in teaching or being concurrently employed, adjuncts could enhance learning experiences 3

4 DOES CHEAPER MEAN BETTER? THE IMPACT OF USING ADJUNCT INSTRUCTORS ON STUDENT OUTCOMES INTRODUCTION This paper examines the impact of adjunct instructors in relation to the course who want to attend Future course-taking is significant in that it can be an indication of student interest and revelation of student’s expected success 4

5 DOES CHEAPER MEAN BETTER? THE IMPACT OF USING ADJUNCT INSTRUCTORS ON STUDENT OUTCOMES INTRODUCTION To estimate the impact of adjunct instructors we compare the outcomes of student who had different types of instructors The results that we want to go to check are: COURSE TAKING IN A SUBJECT MAJOR CHOICE 5

31 DOES CHEAPER MEAN BETTER? THE IMPACT OF USING ADJUNCT INSTRUCTORS ON STUDENT OUTCOMES CONCLUSION The impact of alternative instructors varies by discipline Adjunct instructors are especially effective in fields that are more directly tied to a specific profession, like education and engineering, although they also had relative positive effects in the sciences 31

32 DOES CHEAPER MEAN BETTER? THE IMPACT OF USING ADJUNCT INSTRUCTORS ON STUDENT OUTCOMES CONCLUSION Older Adjunct instructors are more effective in a subject tied to a specific occupation Younger adjunct instructors are more effective in more academic subject Alternatively, using adjunct instructors may allow full-time tenure track faculty to more effectively focus onresearch 32
