This mixed-methods study examined faculty perceptions of online teaching at a mid-sized liberal arts university in order to understand faculty acceptance and participation in online teaching at the university. Seventy-nine participants responded to a survey that collected qualitative and quantitative data. Content analysis examined faculty perceptions of online teaching and identified six themes. An examination of 21 quantitative factors identified 17 factors reported by more than 50% of respondents to influence their decision to teach or not teach online. Study participants perceived online learning as attractive to students but they wanted any online courses carefully regulated, in part because online learning was seen as contrary to their teaching values. Participants were influenced by personal preferences but also the desire for robust faculty resources, and more effective technology and infrastructure. Implications and directions for future research were discussed.

中型文科大学在线教学的教师观

这项混合方法的研究考察了中型文科大学教师对在线教学的看法，以便了解教师对大学在线教学的接受程度和参与程度。79名参与者对收集定性和定量数据的调查做出了回应。内容分析检查了教师对在线教学的看法，并确定了六个主题。对21种定量因素的检查确定了50％以上的受访者报告的17种因素会影响他们决定是否在线教学的决定。研究参与者认为在线学习对学生很有吸引力，但他们希望对任何在线课程进行精心管理，部分原因是在线学习被视为与他们的教学价值观背道而驰。参与者不仅受到个人喜好的影响，还受到对强大教职资源，更有效的技术和基础设施的渴望的影响。讨论了对未来研究的意义和方向。
