If this information is verified and confirmed, then it is a real social disaster. In a university, you can find excellent teachers who are bad in research. You can also find excellent researchers who are bad as teachers. Did these expelled teachers have all the means of the politics of this university to do research?
Such a practice is rarely implemented in all universities around the world. Typically, when a research team does not publish articles after a few years, their sponsorship stops funding until publication resumes. As far as university teachers are concerned, their first and foremost job is to teach. At university, in general, you are recruited and paid to teach. I will even say more than that. There are excellent teachers who have a real knack for imparting knowledge, but who have never done research in their entire careers.
This situation is not entirely clear and here is my answer. I think in this Jordanian university, the teacher is bound by a contract that requires teachers to publish during 5 years of work. Otherwise, the teacher is dismissed. It is a policy adopted by this university. I think there is a signed employment contract between the teacher and the administration. In this case, it is quite normal. If the teacher has signed a contract to this effect, so it assumes.
I can provide a testimony from a great man in hydraulics who has never published in his life. This is Professor Geza de Lapray. He was an adviser to the Kingdom of Hungary in the field of artificial submersion. He dealt with dam destruction strategies to flood enemy cities. He was a teacher at the Polytechnic School of Algiers. He taught us his own theory which has never been published. This theory is called “Longueur Fluidodynamique" (in French) which can be translated in English as“ Fluidodynamic length. ”He was an ace in the design of the physical scale models that he tested in the school's hydraulic laboratory. This great gentleman of hydraulics has never published in his life, even if only one article. Despite this, the Algerian Ministry of Higher Education granted him the rank of Professor in compensation for enormous services he rendered to Algeria in the field of hydraulics. This gentleman would, therefore, have been expelled from the university if he worked in Jordan !!!! Alas, today he is no longer this world.
There is no obvious statistical correlation between the performance of academics in research and teaching. It is perhaps not surprising that much of the discourse today is based on the thesis that research and teaching are activities that are not only distinct but which are incompatible in life. professional academics. However, teachers intended only for teaching should be aware of research advances in their field in order to pass them on to students.
as universidades, pelo menos no Brasil, trabalham apoiadas no tripé: ensino, pesquisa e extensão.Isso deve ser prática cotidiana do oficio do professor. No entanto, demitir por não ter publicado é muito radicalismo, pois muitas vezes a pratica docente (ensinar) toma muitas vezes mais tempo que a pesquisa.
Eu concordo totalmente com você. Não há correlação estatística óbvia entre o desempenho dos acadêmicos em pesquisa e ensino. Talvez não seja surpreendente que grande parte do discurso hoje se baseie na tese de que pesquisa e ensino são atividades não apenas distintas, mas incompatíveis na vida. acadêmicos profissionais. No entanto, os professores destinados apenas ao ensino devem estar cientes dos avanços da pesquisa em seu campo, a fim de repassá-los aos alunos.
If this is a University, then there should be publications by teachers. Some try to somehow protect those good teachers-Methodists in the absence of their publications. This is the wrong position. These Methodists can write articles of a methodical nature!
They should publishe at least one per year provided that academic atmosphere is conducive. But, the teaching and administrative loads they perform also matter. Big load in non-academic affairs means no time for writing publication.
We can agree that universities should have strict requirements for faculty members to publish. Measures like this, if implemented everywhere in the world, however, would make faculty members jobless instantly.
Universities are not only for teaching but also for research. If University teachers don't participate in research and publish their work , what is then the difference from high school? So, I think all possible measures should be taken to motivate University teachers . But, the University should not wait until the teachers fail in publication for five years! It must be proactive to motivate them.
I do not have information on the strength of the university in terms of facilities to do research, Teacher's satisfaction, incentives, and even beurocracy of the administration . If all mentioned were there, then they should produced publication. In fact, for me, it is not the publication that matters BUT did the publication outcomes benefit the society or the globe in general. Let us see our publications and trace back the impact we brought either theoretically or in practice.
