Abstract

This mixed-methods study attempted to clarify the definition and measurement of attitude in teachers' acceptance of online teaching. A combined quantitative and qualitative data collection approach was employed, involving 2,432 Chinese university teachers in the survey. The results supported the appropriateness and necessity of adopting an evaluation-focused attitude rather than affect-focused attitude for explaining teachers' intention to conduct online teaching, suggesting teachers are “thinkers” rather than “feelers” when forming their attitudes towards online teaching. These findings highlight the role of cost-benefit appraisal in determining teachers’ adoption and implementation of online teaching, thus potentially influencing teaching quality of higher education.

教师是思考者，而不是感觉者：明确教师接受在线教学态度的定义和测量方法

这项混合方法研究试图澄清教师接受在线教学态度的定义和测量方法。研究采用了定量和定性相结合的数据收集方法，共对 2432 名中国大学教师进行了调查。研究结果表明，采用 "评价态度 "而非 "情感态度 "来解释教师的在线教学意向是恰当和必要的，表明教师在形成对在线教学的态度时是 "思考者 "而非 "感受者"。这些发现凸显了成本效益评价在决定教师采用和实施在线教学中的作用，从而可能影响高等教育的教学质量。
