Abstract

The number of fully online business programs offered by AACSB accredited schools had tripled from 724 to 2117 programs within five years [1]. Quality online education may be the way to help the business school to stand out from the keen competition. However, 56% of chief academic officers perceived the lack of faculty's acceptance of online teaching as a barrier to transit online [2]. This mixed methods research aims to 1) examine the business school teaching faculty's readiness to teach online in terms of attitude and ability, and 2) identify the difficulties they encountered in online teaching. This would help the business school better prepare for the online transition to meet the needs of society. Teaching faculty from seven AACSB accredited business schools in Hong Kong were invited for an online survey (n = 48) and interview (n = 12). Results found teaching faculty perceived more confidence in Course Communication and less confidence in Technical Competence. The results may help the business school to provide appropriate training for teaching faculty in specific areas and improve the infrastructure needed for online teaching.

检验商学院教师在线教学准备:一项混合方法研究

AACSB认证学校提供的完全在线商业课程的数量在五年内从724个增加到2117个[1]。高质量的在线教育可能是帮助商学院在激烈竞争中脱颖而出的途径。然而，56%的首席学术官认为教师对在线教学的不接受是在线教学的障碍[2]。这项混合方法研究的目的是:1)从态度和能力方面考察商学院教师对在线教学的准备情况;2)确定他们在在线教学中遇到的困难。这将有助于商学院更好地为在线转型做好准备，以满足社会需求。来自香港7所AACSB认证商学院的教师被邀请进行在线调查(n = 48)和访谈(n = 12)。结果发现，教师对课程沟通的信心增加，对技术能力的信心减少。研究结果可能有助于商学院在特定领域为教师提供适当的培训，并改善在线教学所需的基础设施。
