a model of business school students acceptance of a web based course management system
Academy of Management Learning and Education, 2004Co-Authors: Luis L Martins, Franz W KellermannsAbstract:As business schools increasingly seek to incorporate Web-based information and communication technologies into the instructional process, there is a need for Rigorous Research into the factors affecting the successful integration of these technologies into management education. A key factor identified in prior management education Research as critical to the successful implementation of such instructional technologies is student acceptance. We use the literatures on management education, technology acceptance, and change implementation to develop and test a model predicting business school students' acceptance of a Web-based course management system. Arguing that such a system which transitions traditional course-management processes to the Web constitutes an instance of a process change, we examine the role played by various change-enabling factors as well as change-motivating factors in students' acceptance of the system. We find that perceived incentive to use the system, perceived faculty encouragemen...

an integrative summary of doctoral dissertation Research in quality management
Production and Operations Management, 2009Co-Authors: Eric P Jack, Paul Stephens, James R EvansAbstract:Since 1980, practitioner interest in the field of quality management (qm) has grown significantly, resulting in academic Researchers embracing QM as a legitimate discipline of study. One approach to evaluating the intellectual health of a discipline is an examination of doctoral dissertation Research. This work both complements and extends other published reviews of the quality management discipline by analyzing doctoral dissertation Research since 1981, categorizing this Research, examining shifts in major Research themes, evaluating data collection and analysis methodologies, and discussing general trends in this Research area. Our findings suggest that the challenges in QM have become more interdisciplinary and integrated, and reveal an encouraging trend toward more Rigorous Research methodologies and the increased use of theories from other disciplines, leading to a more mature body of Research in this field.

a new paradigm for a new field communicating representations of engineering education Research
Journal of Engineering Education, 2008Co-Authors: Maura Borrego, Karl A Smith, Ronald L Miller, Ruth A StrevelerAbstract:Based on a three-year experience of developing, facilitating, and assessing NSF-funded workshops on Rigorous Research in Engineering Education (RREE), the authors present four representations of engineering education scholarly work in the United States, specifically teaching and Research. Many of the representations describe the relationships between engineering Research, education Research, teaching, and assessment. For each of the representations, assessment data are presented to evaluate which aspects resonated with workshop participants and which needed to be changed for wide acceptance by a U.S. engineering education audience. It was found that participants preferred continua to dichotomy and were more receptive to models that were introduced inductively through active learning exercises. Lessons learned, implications for the field, and future plans for further development of the paradigm are also included.

transforming the twenty first century campus to enhance the net generation student learning experience using evidence based design to determine what works and why in virtual physical teaching spaces
Higher Education Research & Development, 2014Co-Authors: Kenn Fisher, C NewtonAbstract:The twenty-first century has seen the rapid emergence of wireless broadband and mobile communications devices which are inexorably changing the way people communicate, collaborate, create and transfer knowledge. Yet many higher education campus learning environments were designed and built in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries prior to wireless broadband networks. Now, new learning environments are being re-engineered to meet these emerging technologies with significant challenges to existing pedagogical practices. However, these next generation learning environments (NGLEs) have not been evaluated thoroughly to see if they actually work as they are scaled up across the higher education system. Whilst there have been a range of NGLEs designed globally – with Australia leading in the past five years or so – it is timely that a more Rigorous Research methodology drawing from health facility evidence-based design is taken to evaluate their effectiveness in improving the student experience and learning ou...
