- W2110365541 abstract "ABSTRACTMany institutions in higher education are experimenting with teaching approaches to undergraduate courses. Online resources may provide a number of advantages to students as compared to in-class approaches. Research regarding the effectiveness of approaches is mixed and still accumulating. This paper discusses the use of a teaching approach for a Managerial Economics class. Identical multiple-choice questions from previous semesters are used to compare student performance in classes versus traditionally taught classes. Results suggest that student performance is lower in classes as compared to traditional classes. The differing student performance suggests that the complexity of material in some courses may not be suitable for a approach.Keywords: Economics, business, teaching, instruction, instructionJEL Classification: A22 ; M00PsycINFO Classification: 3530FoR Code: 1301; 1501IntroductionThere has been an increasing use of technology in higher education. Many institutions have experimented with hybrid or flipped courses which substitute online exercises and resources for class time. Overall, such approaches have generally shown mixed results (Akkoyunlu & Soylu, 2008; Ginns 8i Ellis, 2007; Love, Hodge, Grandgenett, & Swift, 2014).Online resources may present several advantages over traditional lecture and discussion. First, students can utilize online resources at a time of their choosing. Second, online assignments often have multiple attempts. Third, online assignments are by default open-book. Fourth, students can engage in discussion with other students for online assignments.If the online resources work as predicted, a approach could increase student learning at the same time that it decreases instructor time for delivering lecture in the classroom. Thus, this approach could be beneficial for both parties. The approach may also reduce cost if more students could be served with this approach. The primary Research Question is whether a teaching approach could improve student learning in a Managerial Economics class. The method for evaluating this question is to compare student performance on identical multiple-choice questions from previous semesters (taught by the same instructor). Other secondary topics of interest are overall student satisfaction with a course, and the potential increased load on the instructor for preparation and administration. This paper discusses the results of this trial.Literature ReviewHybrid or blended learning seeks to improve learning through a combination of face-to-face instructional time and online instructional time (Garrison 8i Kanuka, 2004). Blended learning can take a number of forms but relies on basic educational principles (Garrison 8i Vaughan, 2008). Effective practices in blended learning have also been identified (Mortera-Gutierrez, 2006).Hybrid or blended approaches have been used in a variety of business courses, including graduate business courses (Chen & Jones, 2007). As mentioned above, the overall results from or blended courses have been mixed as far as student performance, and that is the case in the field of business as well. A approach for an undergraduate accounting course improved student performance (Dowling, Godfrey, & Gyles, 2003). A approach to introductory economics showed no change in student performance (Olitsky, & Cosgrove, 2014). In an undergraduate microeconomics course, student performance was weaker in a section as compared to a face-to-face section (Verhoeven, & Rudchenko, 2013).Other studies have looked at student perception and satisfaction with courses. In the study of a marketing planning course versus the traditional, students preferred the traditional course (Haytko, 2001). A study in undergraduate economics showed the availability of online tools in a blended course improved student motivation (Van Der Merwe, 2007). …" @default.
