Abstract: Universal, effective, fair, and consistent methods for evaluating
faculty scholarly activities have remained elusive for years. This research
utilized the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to assess the professoriate's own
perceptions of the appropriate assessment of faculty research. The paper also
incorporated the Boyer model of scholarship as one of the main criteria for
scholarship evaluation. We addressed the "how" and "how much" in the
weighting of scholarship output based on a survey of faculty at five Canadian
teaching-intensive universities. The surprising lack of weighting value
assigned to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and the overall structure
of the AHP model present interesting results.
