With respect to education scholarship, the dilemma caused by lack of time involves a complex, multi-faceted set of issues which extends beyond the number of hours available in a day. Personal interest and having background training in education do not appear to be sufficient to encourage involvement. Multiple institutional support mechanisms are necessary.

Assisting faculty to participate in education scholarship is a complicated endeavor. Institutional supports should not be limited to those with advanced degrees nor rely on Master-level degree programs to provide all the necessary training.
