Conformism vs. Independent Opinions: The Challenges Facing Education Administration Students when Dealing with Political Conflicts Practiced in Simulation-Based Learning

Israel is defined as a Jewish and a democratic state. Yet, in recent years, the government of Israel has attempted to change the balance of power between the judiciary and the legislative and executive authorities. Many perceived this change as a fatal blow to democracy, while others supported the change. These political conflicts cannot be ignored inside schools. The purpose of this study was to examine how education administration M.A students deal with political conflicts within schools and the communication strategies they use. To that end, the method of simulation-based learning was used. The main research questions focused on the study participants’ willingness to express their opinions about controversial political conflicts. The results revealed an unexpected scenario. Even though school principals might be expected to be in control because of their powerful position in the organization’s hierarchy and their authority to mete out punishments and rewards, the simulations showed a different outcome in the broader political context, indicating that a general sense of chaos reigned in schools as well. Following these results, we developed a didactic educational model whose purpose is to educate toward social involvement and the ability to express a reasoned opinions.

Satisfaction and perceived learning in business games: analysis of the moderating role of Debriefing

This article aims to examine the impact of debriefing (a reflective stage following action) on the relationship between satisfaction and perceived learning (encompassing knowledge, skills, and attitudes [KSA]) within the context of business games. The study analyzes self-reported data from 108 eighth-semester Business Administration students across two higher education institutions in Brazil, divided into two groups: an experimental group (who underwent debriefing) and a control group (who did not). The data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Path Modeling (PLS-PM) . The findings of this paper do not support the hypothesis that the debriefing stage significantly influences the relationship between satisfaction and perceived learning. Therefore, it is concluded that during business games, participants engage in ex-ante reflection in the decision-making process, oversee the implementation of proposed solutions ex-cursum, and evaluate results ex-post. While the debriefing process reinforces this final stage, it does not significantly affect the relationship between satisfaction and perceived learning.

Revitalising learning in three university contexts: Unleashing the power of the Quizizz app to increase self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, satisfaction and performance

AbstractConsidering the innovative learning approach of incorporating gamification educational dynamics, this study focused on analyzing differences in the effects of using Quizizz depending on the degree of practical focus that different university degrees have. By applying game elements in non-game contexts, gamification has been recognized as a strategy that can increase student motivation and engagement. After applying the four-month innovation experience in three degree programs (Engineering, Business Administration, and Education), the perceptions of the 179 participating students were evaluated regarding intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy in learning, satisfaction with the use of applications to gamify learning and academic performance. Furthermore, possible differences in these dimensions were explored depending on the degree of practical orientation that each university degree has. The results suggest that students in the educational area express more favorable perceptions about the improvement of their learning with this gamification experience, while Business Administration students are those who express the worst perceptions. The implications of these results are discussed considering the influence that variables such as the active and participatory role of students, the usefulness of the content in the professional future, or the conceptual and theoretical nature of each university degree can exert.
