Improving Information Technology Curriculum Learning Outcomes 提高信息技术课程的学习效果
Pub Date : 2017-06-08 DOI: 10.28945/3690
D. Anderson
Aim/Purpose Information Technology students’ learning outcomes improve when teaching methodology moves away from didactic behaviorist-based pedagogy toward a more heuristic constructivist-based version of andragogy. Background There is a distinctive difference, a notable gap, between the academic community and the business community in their views of the level of preparedness of recent information technology program graduates. An understanding of how Information Technology curriculum is developed and taught along with the underpinning learning theory is needed to address the deficient attainment of learning outcomes which lies at the heart of this matter. Methodology The case study research methodology has been selected to conduct this empirical inquiry facilitating an in depth exploration within its real-life context. The subject of analysis is two Information Technology classes which are composed of a combination of second year and third year students; both classes have six students, the same six students. Contribution It is the purpose of this research to show that the use of improved approaches to learning will produce more desirable learning outcomes. Findings The results of this inquiry clearly show that the use of the traditional behaviorist based pedagogic model to achieve college and university IT program learning outcomes is not as effective as a more constructivist based andragogic model. Recommendations for Practitioners Instruction based purely on behaviorism or constructivism does a disservice to the typical college and university level learner. The correct approach lies somewhere in between; the most successful outcome attainment will be the product of incorporating the best of both. Impact on Society Instructional strategies produce learning outcomes; learning outcomes demonstrate what knowledge has been acquired. Acquired knowledge is used by students as they pursue professional careers and other ventures in life. Future Research Learning and teaching approaches are not “one-size-fits-all” propositions; different strategies are appropriate for different circumstances and situations. Additional research should seek to introduce vehicles that will move learners away Improving IT Learning Outcomes 120 from one the traditional methodology that has been used throughout much of their educational careers to an approach that is better suited to equip them with the skills necessary to meet the challenges awaiting them in the professional world.
当教学方法从以教学行为主义为基础的教学法转向以启发式建构主义为基础的教育学时,信息技术学生的学习成果会得到改善。学术界和企业界对近期信息技术专业毕业生的准备水平的看法存在显著差异,存在显著差距。需要了解信息技术课程是如何开发和教学的,以及基础学习理论,以解决学习成果的不足,这是问题的核心。案例研究的研究方法被选择来进行实证调查,促进在其现实生活背景下的深入探索。分析的主题是由二年级和三年级学生组成的两个信息技术班;两个班都有六个学生,同样的六个学生。本研究的目的是表明使用改进的学习方法将产生更理想的学习结果。调查结果清楚地表明,使用传统的基于行为主义的教学模式来实现高校IT项目的学习成果不如基于建构主义的教学模式有效。纯粹基于行为主义或建构主义的教学对典型的学院和大学水平的学习者是一种伤害。正确的方法介于两者之间;最成功的成果将是两者兼而有之的产物。教学策略产生学习成果;学习成果表明已经获得了哪些知识。学生在追求职业生涯和生活中的其他冒险时,会使用所学到的知识。未来研究学与教的方法不是“放之四海而皆准”的命题;不同的策略适用于不同的环境和情况。额外的研究应该寻求引入一些工具,将学习者从一种传统的方法中转移出来,这种方法已经在他们的教育生涯中使用了很长时间,而这种方法更适合于为他们提供必要的技能,以迎接他们在专业领域面临的挑战。

The Effect of IT Integration on Supply Chain Agility Towards Market Performance (A Proposed Study) IT整合对供应链敏捷性对市场绩效的影响(拟研究)
Pub Date : 2017-06-03 DOI: 10.28945/3747
S. M. Far, M. Akbari, S. Clarke
Aim/Purpose: An important objective of any firm is escalation of its performance and the achievement of competitive advantages. Supply chain agility plays a prominent role to enhance the level of firm’s performance. Moreover, information technology (IT) plays a foundational role in supply chain management practices. Hence, this study proposes the relationship between IT integration as the competency of IT and firm’s market performance both directly and through mediating role of supply chain agility. Background: Many studies have been done to date on the impact of supply chain agility on overall firm’s performance. However, the effect of an agile supply chain on firm’s market performance per se needs to be studied. Furthermore, there is a gap in the literature about the effect of IT competency such as IT integration on firm’s market performance both directly and through mediating role of supply chain agility. Recommendation for Researchers: The first direction this study gives to researchers is to consider the different factors which have significant effect on the agility of supply chain, particularly the IT related ones. The second direction is about the study on the effect of IT competencies and supply chain agility on each category of firm’s performance separately instead of considering it as a one construct. Impact on Society: Although this is a conceptual study, it can highlight the importance of IT competency not only in our daily life, but also in our businesses and industries. Future Research: This study only proposes some relationships based on theory and literature. Future researchers can test these proposed relationships in different contexts and compare the results. Furthermore, this study proposes the relationships for large manufacturing sector in developing countries. The model could be tested for SMEs as well. In addition, the proposed theoretical model in this study might be tested in both developing as well as developed countries to compare the results which will be contributed to the body of knowledge.
目标/目的:任何企业的一个重要目标是提升其绩效和实现竞争优势。供应链敏捷性对提高企业绩效水平起着突出的作用。此外,信息技术(IT)在供应链管理实践中起着基础作用。因此,本研究提出了IT整合作为IT能力与企业市场绩效之间的直接关系,以及通过供应链敏捷性的中介作用。背景:迄今为止,许多研究都是关于供应链敏捷性对公司整体绩效的影响。然而,敏捷供应链对企业市场绩效的影响本身需要研究。此外,关于IT整合等IT能力对企业市场绩效的直接影响以及通过供应链敏捷性的中介作用,文献中存在空白。给研究者的建议:本研究给研究者的第一个方向是考虑对供应链敏捷性有显著影响的不同因素,特别是与IT相关的因素。第二个方向是分别研究IT能力和供应链敏捷性对企业绩效的影响,而不是将其视为一个结构。对社会的影响:虽然这是一项概念性研究,但它可以突出资讯科技能力不仅在我们的日常生活中,而且在我们的商业和工业中的重要性。未来研究:本研究仅在理论和文献基础上提出一些关系。未来的研究人员可以在不同的背景下测试这些提出的关系,并比较结果。此外,本研究提出了发展中国家大型制造业部门的关系。这种模式也可以在中小企业中进行检验。此外,本研究中提出的理论模型可以在发展中国家和发达国家进行测试,以比较将有助于知识体系的结果。

An Analysis of the Effectiveness of the Constructivist Approach in Teaching Business Statistics 建构主义教学法在商业统计教学中的有效性分析
Pub Date : 2017-05-22 DOI: 10.28945/3748
Greeni Maheshwari, Susan Thomas
Aim/Purpose: The main aim of the research is to examine the performance of second language English speaking students enrolled in the Business Statistics course and to investigate the academic performance of students when taught under the constructivist and non-constructivist approaches in a classroom environment.Background: There are different learning theories that are established based on how students learn. Each of these theories has its own benefits based on the different type of learners and context of the environment. The students in this research are new to the University environment and to a challenging technical course like Business Statistics. This research has been carried out to see the effectiveness of the constructivist approach in motivating and increasing the student engagement and their academic performance. Methodology : A total of 1373 students were involved in the quasi-experiment method using Stratified Sampling Method from the year 2015 until 2016.Contribution: To consider curriculum adjustments for first year programs and implications for teacher education.Findings: The t-test for unequal variances was used to understand the mean score. Results indicate students have high motivation level and achieve higher mean scores when they are taught using the constructivist teaching approach compared to the non-constructivist teaching approach.Recommendations for Practitioners: To consider the challenges faced by first year students and create a teaching approach that fits their needs.Recommendation for Researchers: To explore in depth other teaching approaches of the Business Statistics course in improving students’ academic performance.Impact on Society : The constructivist approach will enable learning to be enjoyable and students to be more confident.Future Research: The research will assist other lectures teaching Business Statistics in creating a more conducive environment to encourage second language English speaking students to overcome their shyness and be more engaged.
目的/目的:本研究的主要目的是考察参加商业统计课程的第二语言英语学生的表现,并调查学生在课堂环境中在建构主义和非建构主义教学方法下的学习成绩。背景:基于学生的学习方式建立了不同的学习理论。基于不同类型的学习者和环境背景,每种理论都有其自身的好处。参与这项研究的学生都是刚进入大学环境的新学生,也是刚开始学习像商业统计这样具有挑战性的技术课程的新学生。本研究的目的是观察建构主义教学方法在激励和提高学生参与度和学习成绩方面的有效性。方法:2015 - 2016年,采用分层抽样的准实验方法,对1373名学生进行调查。贡献:考虑第一年课程的调整和对教师教育的影响。结果:采用不等方差的t检验来理解平均得分。结果表明,与非建构主义教学相比,建构主义教学的学生具有较高的动机水平和较高的平均成绩。对从业者的建议:考虑一年级学生面临的挑战,并创建适合他们需求的教学方法。对研究人员的建议:深入探索商业统计课程的其他教学方法,以提高学生的学习成绩。对社会的影响:建构主义的方法将使学习变得愉快,学生更加自信。未来研究:这项研究将协助其他商业统计课程的教学,创造一个更有利的环境,鼓励以第二语言为英语的学生克服害羞,更加投入。

This research has been carried out to see the effectiveness of the constructivist approach in motivating and increasing the student engagement and their academic performance. \u0000\u0000Methodology : A total of 1373 students were involved in the quasi-experiment method using Stratified Sampling Method from the year 2015 until 2016.\u0000\u0000Contribution: To consider curriculum adjustments for first year programs and implications for teacher education.\u0000\u0000Findings: The t-test for unequal variances was used to understand the mean score. Results indicate students have high motivation level and achieve higher mean scores when they are taught using the constructivist teaching approach compared to the non-constructivist teaching approach.\u0000\u0000Recommendations for Practitioners: To consider the challenges faced by first year students and create a teaching approach that fits their needs.\u0000\u0000Recommendation for Researchers: To explore in depth other teaching approaches of the Business Statistics course in improving students’ academic performance.\u0000\u0000Impact on Society : The constructivist approach will enable learning to be enjoyable and students to be more confident.\u0000\u0000Future Research: The research will assist other lectures teaching Business Statistics in creating a more conducive environment to encourage second language English speaking students to overcome their shyness and be more engaged.","PeriodicalId":39754,"journal":{"name":"Informing Science","volume":"11 1","pages":"83-97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87469536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
