| Summary: | A national survey was designed to obtain information in four principal areas of concern: (1) what preparation medical faculty members had for their roles as teachers; (2) instructional practices of medical faculty; (3) where faculty are experiencing difficulties in teaching; and (4) in what areas they are interested in receiving help. A stratified random sampling of 2,700 faculty (representing over 28,000 full-time medical school faculty members) was used for the survey. Findings show that: (1) faculty have had little formal preparation for their teaching roles, with only 21 percent having taken education courses and 39 percent having attended an educational workshop; (2) faculty make considerably more use of traditional than innovative teaching techniques such as lecturing; (3) faculty are not thorough in their management of the instructional process; and (4) they express interest in improving their teaching by reading and attending educational workshops, especially in the area of instructional evaluation.
