Az oktatói kiválóság díjjal történő elismerése elterjedt stratégia a nemzetközi felsőoktatáspedagógiai gyakorlatban. Ez az elismerés növelheti az oktatók magabiztosságát és ösztönözheti őket kompetenciáik fejlesztésére. Bizonyos intézményi kultúrákban azonban a tudományos előmenetel szempontjából az oktatói kiválóságra és ennek formális elismerésére inkább akadályként tekintenek, mivel az oktatói tevékenységet a kutatói produktivitás csökkenésével társítják. Felvetődik tehát a kérdés, hogy szükség van-e az oktatói kiválósági díjakra és, hogy azok milyen előnyökkel és hátrányokkal járnak az egyén és a szervezet működését tekintve. Tanulmányunkban kényelmi mintavétellel gyűjtött interjúadatainkat felhasználva reflektálunk erre a dilemmára a kutatóegyetemek kontextusában.
Recognition of teaching excellence through awards is a common strategy in international higher education pedagogy. This recognition can boost the confidence of instructors and encourage them to develop their competences. However, in some institutional cultures, teaching excellence and its formal recognition are seen as a barrier to academic progression, as teaching is associated with a reduction in research productivity. This raises the question whether there is a need for teaching excellence awards, and, if yes, what the advantages and disadvantages for the individual and the organization may be. In our study, we reflect on this dilemma in the context of research universities using interview data collected through convenience sampling.
