Congratulations to Manhattanville’s own Bancha Srikacha who on Thursday, December 12, 2024, successfully defended his dissertation. The title of Bancha’s dissertation is A QUALITATIVE EXAMINATION OF FACULTY ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS AROUND INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER COVID-19.
This study described the experiences of higher education faculty as they transitioned out of traditional teaching, into emergency remote teaching, and back into their on-campus classrooms. The findings of this study revealed that faculty interviewed had entered the pivot with at least some experience with their institutions’ Learning Management Systems. Through interview data, this study examined how faculty viewed the loss of a traditional semester, took stock of their own abilities to teach with technology, as well as what resources they had to learn to do so, and how they integrated it all to navigate the transition as best they could. The study also discovered that faculty ended up seeking more of their institution’s professional development resources, as well as supporting each other directly and informally.
