Teaching, research and the Canadian professoriate : findings from the 2018 APIKS survey
Article [Version of Record]
Abstract(s)
This paper presents the Canadian findings from the 2018 APIKS study focusing on the
teaching-research nexus. The online, bilingual survey was administered to full-time professors at 64
provincially-funded universities in Canada between October 2017 and June 2018 (n=2968). Findings
suggest the majority of full-time, tenure-steam professors prefer both teaching and research and are
engaged in both throughout the academic year. These findings are considered in light of broader
changes in Canadian higher education including enrolment expansion, the increasing valorization of
research, the development of new categories of academic labour, and the growth in precarious contract
employment.
