Subclaims¶

q2 i? At Snapshot 1, Resolution and Enthusiasm had the highest correlations with the first discriminant function (.74 and .60), which explained 88.6% of the variance. → Trevisan 2023 q2 i? At Snapshot 2, Perceived Support and Enthusiasm had the highest correlations with the first function (.61 and .53), discriminating between Struggling and Thriving profiles. → Trevisan 2023 (2) q2 i? The S1 clustering strategy was accurate at 98.3% but would classify only 43% of S2 cases correctly, indicating the profiles and their determining factors changed. → Trevisan 2023 (3)

Evidence¶

Trevisan 2023¶

Trevisan, O., De Rossi, M., Christensen, R., Knezek, G., & Smits, A. (2023). Factors shaping faculty online teaching competencies during the Covid-19 pandemic. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-023-10197-1

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Descriptive discriminant function analysis of the S1 snapshot data. Perceived Support determined the second function (correlation .94, eigenvalue .55, 10.7% of variance), discriminating mostly between the Open and Optimistic clusters.

"At Snapshot 1, the discriminant function analysis highlighted that Resolution and Enthusiasm were the factors with the highest correlation to the first function (respectively, .74 and .60), which discriminated between the Cautious and Optimistic clusters, having an eigenvalue of 4.54 and explaining an overall 88.6% of the variance."

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Descriptive discriminant function analysis of the S2 snapshot data. A reverse perception of Support determined the second function (correlation −.62), discriminating mostly between Self-reliant and Complying clusters.

"Perceived Support and Enthusiasm became the factors with the highest correlation to the first function (respectively, .61 and .53), which discriminated between Struggling and Thriving profiles, having an eigenvalue of 6.29 and explaining an overall 87.4% of the variance."

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Predictive discriminant analysis comparing cluster structures across snapshots. The article interprets that the profiles "seemed to have changed, as well as the factors contributing to the profiles", e.g. Enthusiastic respondents would have a 27% likelihood of being clustered as Thriving at S2.

"A predictive discriminant analysis revealed that the original clustering strategy, accurate at 98.3% at S1, would be accurate only in 43% of the cases at S2."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• 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
• One year into the pandemic, faculty clustered into four new profiles (Struggling, Self-reliant, Complying, Thriving) that differed in technology-engagement practices measured with the ICAP scale — related
• Higher education teachers entered the pandemic with heterogeneous self-perceived digital pedagogical skills, which shaped their ability to respond to the disruption — related
• Faculty dispositions and use of technological affordances for online teaching changed over time during the pandemic — a broader claim this one bears on
