This article presents the development of an online, student‐centered, introductory small‐business management course that uses an educational business novel, hypertext graphic‐design features, an interactive workbook, and a student‐authored final chapter. Student learning was assessed through the use of a pre‐ and posttest survey. Student reflection was incorporated to make students consider the impact of learning. Results showed that student learning and understanding increased in two separate courses. 相似文献

In this pilot research we examine the impact of two leadership development training programs on the ability of students to acquire knowledge, share knowledge, and apply knowledge for organizational decision making. One program emphasized concepts and case‐based application based on a technical learning paradigm. The other program used a game‐based computer simulation, Virtual Leader, grounded in an experiential or situated learning paradigm. After training, students from both programs engaged in a complex in‐basket exercise to examine the quality of their leadership and managerial abilities. In this exercise, participants from each training intervention worked with their trained cohort to accomplish a day of managerial work. Participants were observed and their individual and collective actions and decisions on behalf of the organization were evaluated. Using qualitative research we compared the organizational decisions associated with each group to determine which pedagogical technique resulted in the most effective application of student learning. While technical learning pedagogy was associated with greater information acquisition, the game‐based computer simulation (an experiential, social‐interaction oriented pedagogy) was associated with better decision quality and more shared cognition. Evidence suggests that students taught with the game‐based computer simulation collectively demonstrated a greater ability to apply what they learned. 相似文献

Continuous curriculum improvement derives from a variety of perspectives, opportunities, and approaches. In this brief, we describe a process that facilitated student participation in curriculum development. We took our Supply Chain Management students to a regional conference affiliated with APICS and had them assess their knowledge readiness compared to professional standards. We used these data to identify our curriculum's strengths and weaknesses and to encourage faculty collaboration to adjust it accordingly. Our approach can be generalized to any academic discipline. 相似文献

Many universities are pursuing increases in on‐line course offerings as a means of offsetting the rising costs of providing high‐quality educational opportunities and of better serving their student populations. However, enrollments in online courses are not always sufficient to cover their costs. One possible way of improving enrollments is through marketing campaigns targeted to specific demographic groups. In this study, we take a first look into how students’ perceptions of e‐learning systems, prior to their enrollment in an online course, vary across socioeconomic status and gender. Findings suggest that prior to taking an online course, working‐class students perceive e‐learning systems more positively than their middle‐class peers but that little difference exists between genders. Armed with this knowledge, universities may improve online course enrollments by marketing online courses specifically to working‐class students or through campaigns aimed at improving middle‐class students’ perceptions of e‐learning systems. 相似文献

Success in an online learning environment is tied to both human and system factors. This study illuminates the unique contributions of human factors (comfort with online learning, self‐management of learning, and perceived Web self‐efficacy) to online learning system success, which is measured in terms of usage and satisfaction. The research model was tested employing SEM on a sample of 674 college students enrolled in at least one online course. The factors of comfort with online learning and perceived Web self‐efficacy were significant predictors of satisfaction. Comfort with online learning was significant in predicting usage. The impact of demographic variables was examined. 相似文献

This conceptual paper suggests a methodology for increasing student satisfaction in core courses by applying the principle of mass customization to increase student satisfaction. It proposes that customization can be increased by increasing course flexibility along three dimensions: content flexibility, schedule flexibility, and course length flexibility. The increased flexibility provides opportunities for both student‐centered customization and the cross‐functional integration of the core course with other disciplines. Core courses were targeted because of their high volume of students specializing in something other than the core course being taught and the associated general disinterest of these types of students. There are two main sections. The first section provides an overview to the proposed course structure while the second provides suggestions about computer‐based technology that can be used to support the structure presented in the first section. Examples are presented that pertain to a core course in statistics, but the technology and course structure presented are easily adaptable to core courses in any discipline. 相似文献

文章通过混合方法对2019年“全国混合式教学设计创新大赛”30门获奖课程的教学设计进行分析,以阐明我国高校在混合式教学设计上的最新进展、主要问题以及所反映出的教师教学观和设计思维。研究发现,在对标FD-QM在线/混合式课程质量标准上,案例课程的活动和测评设计比较薄弱,具体表现在教师多倾向于增加互动和测试的数量与类型,但对制定教与学活动规则和评价标准则关注不足,反映出教师对混合式教学中如何认识自身角色、实践“教学存在”存在偏差。从根本上说,这是“学生中心”和“教师中心”两种不同教学观相互冲突却又纠葛的关系在教学设计中的集中体现,它提示我们在教学范式转型背景下,探讨教与学关系、师生权力、学习责任等根本性问题变得愈发重要。 相似文献

The rise in interactive digital media has catapulted faculty‐student contact abilities from the traditional Web 1.0 model to a post‐Web 2.0 world where students and faculty can have much more interaction in classroom exchanges. Since business cases have long been a pedagogy of choice among professors concerned with training the next generation of decision makers, the intent of this exploratory teaching execution was to gain insight into the case teaching experience in Second Life (SL). SL is a virtual world developed by Linden Lab that enables its users to interact with each other through avatars (virtual representations of the self). While online classrooms in SL are not new (a number of universities throughout the world have set up virtual campuses), business education scholarship is lacking as related to the use of virtual worlds for educational purposes. The aim of the execution was not to suggest that SL case teaching should displace the traditional case classroom interactions. Rather, the exercise found that a case‐based class can be held and attended independent of time, distance, and location should the need arise. Case teaching in SL offers an availability alternative or supplement to the traditional case teaching and learning approach. 相似文献

The main concern is a longstanding one in classroom instruction—the determinants of effective team performance. The paper explicitly examines the effect of teacher‐controlled factors on the use and functioning of student teams. From a sample of 500 undergraduate students, data are obtained on aptitude, diversity, instability, motivation, personality style, size, and performance. The regression results suggest that team motivation and instability, which are both partly controlled by the instructor, are particularly important in determining a team's performance. An implication is that instructor decisions about team make‐up and incentives can have a significant impact on student achievement. 相似文献

A study was conducted at a southern university in sophomore level production classes to assess skills such as the order of arithmetic operations, decimal and percent conversion, solving of algebraic expressions, and evaluation of formulas. The study was replicated using business statistics and quantitative analysis classes at a southeastern university. The intent of the study was to determine math deficiencies among college students and to ascertain whether or not these deficiencies impact grades. Data analyses compared students’ test results and grades from the different classes at the two universities and identified surprising patterns across classes, universities, and professors.These results support the need for curriculum modifications to address the identified deficiencies. 相似文献

This study offers a model for incorporating live sustainability consulting projects in an MBA curriculum to nurture cross‐functional faculty collaboration while offering students proving ground for solving contemporary challenges related to ethical management of all forms of capital. We attempt to first lay a foundation for the recent evolution of sustainability within business schools, and then provide evidence that an opportunity exists for decision science scholars to play a key role as facilitators of this wave of pedagogy. Our research is based on publicly available data that rank business schools relative to their integration of sustainability within MBA programs, our experiences with 39 project clients over a 3‐year period, an analysis of client and student feedback, and anecdotal evidence of success in the development of live project‐based consulting courses. The case study highlights the potential and scalability of this proposed pedagogy to deliver live projects as either a stand‐alone course or an integrated part of the curriculum. 相似文献

This article chronicles the coordination and better integration of existing institutional resources to support cocurricular themes embedded in the provision of a large enrollment, video‐mediated undergraduate operations management (OM) course. The name Project Cheddarfield refers to a 2008 initiative in which two professors team‐taught an OM course to over 600 undergraduates on two different continents through the repeated rapid exchange of digital video between the United States and Singapore. Simultaneously infused in this core curricular delivery were themes of global awareness and study‐abroad, including the promotion of one particular opportunity that bridged the two campuses. This action research narrative spans over 5 years of related activity leading up to the initiative, as this project is best understood as a trajectory, or the evolving result of design adapting to unfolding realities. 相似文献

Over the past decade, more and more business schools are attempting to teach business processes (BPs) by using enterprise resource planning (ERP) software in their curricula. Currently, most studies involving ERP software in the academy have concentrated on learning and teaching via self‐assessment surveys or curriculum integration. This research extended previous studies by attempting to measure student knowledge acquisition of BP concepts (BPC) about two common BP cycles through hands‐on exercises using ERP software. Assessments of students’ knowledge about BP were conducted at multiple time points during the study. In addition, a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)‐based survey was employed to analyze student self‐assessment about improved understanding of BPs though ERP hands‐on exercises. Results from our empirical study indicated that there is no clear evidence that students’ knowledge about BPs significantly improved after experiencing ERP software. However, students’ self‐assessment showed that there is a positive relationship between their comprehension of BPs and hands‐on experience with ERP software. Our research findings concurred with previous research, and studies undertaken in other disciplines. 相似文献

目前大量网络课程基本还停留在学校课堂的外围,虽然教育行政部门和有些高校制定的政策力图将优秀网络课程引入课堂,但如何保证质量、如何规范管理、如何计算成本效率等难题,仍然难以解决。网络课程和传统课程,网络学堂和传统学堂,是两套不同的管理体系。如何以网络课程引领现实课堂变革,经过多年 “太极学堂”等的实践,探索出“平台互联-资源互通-团队互助-虚实互补”四大关键环节模式,推进网络学堂和现实课堂双向建构。在“互联网+”时代,基于协同创新视角,需要深度反思教学平台和教学资源的本质、价值及发展过程中存在的瓶颈,从各类教学平台的功能、演变及其互联互通之道,探寻其关键之处在于设计新型学堂中的“太极要素”与“游戏规则”,创新评价体系。因此,实现课堂变革的突破口则是课堂组织“细胞”结构的改变:一是重塑课程资源观。“三通两平台”建设打通了“资源孤岛”,但教学平台还没有超越传统课堂封闭有限的资源环境。二是从个体学习走向团队学习。在互联网创造的新教育时空中,让交流协作成为亮丽的风景线。三是虚拟与现实两个时空交汇所形成的教育改革动力,促进传统学堂转型,创新学习评价和资源评价体系。 相似文献

2020年的新冠肺炎(COVID-19)疫情蔓延全球,造成世界范围的学校停止常规教学,各国教育机构均采取上线教学的方式来应对此危机。国际上将这种紧急情况下利用互联网开展教学活动的教学形式称为“应急远程教学”,在中国的实践语境中则可称之为“应急上线教学”。管理学领域的危机管理4R理论包括缩减(Reduction)、预备(Readiness)、反应(Response)、恢复(Recovery)四个维度,有助于人们认识和分析各国疫情之下采取的应急教学措施。本质上讲,应急上线教学是因危机而暂时采用的替代方案,缺少严谨系统的远程教与学设计,难以保障学习成效。而在线远程教学则以远程教育理论和方法为指导,通过系统设计学习材料、学习过程、学习活动和学习支持服务而为学习者提供个性化的学习服务,能够较好地保障学习成效。长远来看,应急上线教学必将走向系统、常态在线教学,这种转变得益于在线教学长期发展所取得成果的累积效应,也同样能够助力传统学校转“危”为“机”,探索形成人才培养的新方法,最终促进学习变革和教学创新。 相似文献

不少研究者对网络在英语教学中的使用进行了探讨,但是却很少有研究关注学习者在网络环境下的表现。本研究基于学习者的表现情况,对英语教学中Blackboard教学平台的使用情况及其效果进行了调查。结果显示这个虚拟的教学平台为师生之间的沟通及教学材料的交流提供了便利,但在我们的学生群体中该平台所提供具有真正交流意义的讨论版的功能却未能得到较好的利用。本文认为在学生交流意识较强的情况下,网络交流在英语教学中较真实的面对面交流要稍为逊色。另外本文还对学生具体表现的原因作了探讨和分析,旨在为更好地利用该教学平台提供一些建议。 相似文献
