Shifting from face-to-face to online teaching during COVID-19: The role of university faculty achievement goals for attitudes towards this sudden change, and their relevance for burnout/engagement and student evaluations of teaching quality

作者:

Highlights:

• Faculty experienced and reacted to shifting from face-to-face to online teaching and learning differently during COVID-19.

• To understand these differences, we longitudinally examined faculty attitudes and their relation to motivations and outcomes.

• We assessed goals of 80 faculty members before, and attitudes, burnout levels, and student evaluations after this shift.

• Learning goals were linked to perceiving this shift as a positive challenge and as useful for competence development.

• Avoidance goals went along with perceived threat, and in turn, increased burnout levels and worse student rating.
