Abstract
Instrumental faculty include music instructors and directors focusing on teaching specific instrumentation, often in ensemble or orchestra settings. During the pandemic, community college instrumental faculty relied heavily on technology to engage remote learners. Research regarding their experiences currently exists, and a better understanding of what transpired will inform both pitfalls and best practices for using technology in online settings. This study explores how community college instrumental ensemble faculty use technology to engage remote learners during the pandemic years 2020 to 2021. To better understand their experiences when pivoting to remote instruction, the conceptual framework that will be used to analyze the data includes the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Kolb's Experiential Learning Model (ELM) to understand how instrumental ensemble faculty overcame their concerns about using the various tools and technology to engage remote learners during the pandemic. The research will address four broad questions: (a) How do community college instrumental ensemble faculty describe their experience transitioning from Face-to-Face (F2F) teaching to an online environment; (b) how do they describe their experience adopting technology; (c) how do they describe their professional development experience supporting their transition to an online environment; and (d) how do they describe the technologies used in their practice? This research aspires to gain and contribute a better understanding of community college instrumental ensemble faculty transitioning from F2F to online instruction, the tools that support them, and potential insights into the types of professional development support needed to help faculty in such transitions.
