- 요약This qualitative, thematic analysis explores the emergent themes related to community college professors' experiences adopting and using technology during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The interviews included semi-structured questions (i.e., closed- and open-ended) to elicit themes related to the professors' adoption and use of technology during the early phase of COVID-19.A total of eight interviews were conducted. Seven took place using an online platform, and one in-person interview occurred on the campus of St. Johns River State College in St. Augustine, FL. Interpretations of the professors' experiences are summarized through the lens of the theoretical framework. There has been a recent movement toward the use of the UTAUT model to examine the adoption of different technologies. Interview transcripts were coded, ultimately resulting in documentation of applicable themes related to the professors' experiences during the early phase of the pandemic.The professors experienced issues with maintaining high levels of student engagement and collaborated extensively with one another for development of best practices to adapt and modernize online, instructional practices using technology. Instructors experienced varying levels of comfort with adoption of new technology during the early phase of the pandemic. These comfort levels with adoption were captured, and overall, varied based on prior experience with technology. Ultimately, the study shows the professors' adoption and use of technology was based upon the operational efficiency of the tools.Based upon the professors' responses to interview questions, it was evident they see both the potential and need for continued adoption and use of technology for online instruction. With regard to their practices, they felt adoption and usage would be highly applicable for any future disruptions, such as natural disasters, another pandemic, or the like, to their educational processes, particularly in their community college setting.
