q2 i? A 2-step cluster analysis at Snapshot 2 (N = 54) revealed four response patterns across Enthusiasm, Resolutions, and Support. → Trevisan 2023 q2 i? The Thriving and Struggling clusters used the most and the least varied ICT affordances respectively, and clusters differed on all four ICAP engagement modes. → Trevisan 2023 (2)

Second snapshot survey of 54 faculty in late 2021, analyzed independently with two-step cluster analysis. Profiles were Struggling (22.2%), Self-reliant (14.8%), Complying (35.2%) and Thriving (27.8%); gender and recent training attendance differed among clusters (eta2 = .17 and .18).

"A 2-step cluster analysis of the respondents at S2 revealed four response patterns across the three main factors of the questionnaire, i.e., Enthusiasm, Resolutions, and Support."

ICAP-scale technology-use results at S2 (alpha = .85, 7 items): the article reports the Thriving cluster "diversifying their OT practices to engage students in various ways", while the Complying cluster preferred passive or interactive ICT uses over active and constructive ones. All four ICAP rows in Table 3 are marked significantly different among clusters.

"The Thriving and the Struggling clusters were opposites in using the most and the least varied ICT affordances respectively."

• Faculty enthusiasm for online teaching declined from the acceleration phase to the stasis phase across all profiles — related
• During the pandemic acceleration phase, higher education faculty fell into four distinct online-teaching profiles (Cautious, Open, Optimistic, Enthusiastic) differing in enthusiasm, resolutions, and perceived support — related
• The factors underpinning faculty online-teaching profiles shifted over the pandemic: internal dispositions dominated at Snapshot 1, while perceived institutional support and enthusiasm dominated at Snapshot 2 — related
