Abstract | Abstract This article compares the attitude, of biologists in Australian universities towards teaching and research and their productivity in research with that of British university teachers, as reported by Halsey and Trow (1971). The remarkable similarity between the two groups is attributed to the influence of the British university tradition on the biologists' perception of their roles. Like British academics, biologists in Australia prefer research to teaching and hold a narrow view of the nature and function of universities. Evidence to support Halsey and Trow's (1971 ) claim that “the tengion between teaching and research is a central problem in modern universities” is presented and four major problems in undergraduate education are analysed in these terms. |
