The relationship between self-efficacy, attitudes, and business students' quantitative skills performance: A case for including quantitative methods in the BSBA curriculum

Developing strong quantitative skills is crucial for the career success of college business students. However, there is limited understanding of the quantitative abilities, self-confidence, and attitudes of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) students. This descriptive-correlational study examines these aspects in fourth-year BSBA students, with 231 participants selected through purposive sampling. The research framework is based on the Theory of Reasoned Action/Planned Behavior and Social Cognitive Theory. Data was collected using a researcher-designed questionnaire, validated by experts, that measured quantitative skills, self-efficacy, and attitudes. Findings show that while students perform well in certain areas like numeracy and market return analysis, they have weaknesses in statistical analysis, quantitative reasoning, and financial data analysis. Their self-confidence in mathematical analysis is moderate but needs improvement. Despite this, students generally have a positive outlook on quantitative courses. The correlation analysis reveals a significant positive relationship between their attitudes toward quantitative courses and their performance in quantitative skills. It is recommended that the BSBA curriculum be revised by including a dedicated Quantitative Methods Course to address skill gaps and boost students' self-confidence and attitudes, better equipping them for the evolving business world.

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.

Enhancing ICT Literacy and Achievement: A TPACK-Based Blended Learning Model for Thai Business Administration Students

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the need for 21st century skills, particularly computer and ICT literacy (CICT) in Thailand. This study aimed to develop a TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge)-based blended learning model (BLM) to enhance CICT skills and academic performance among 179 Business Administration (BA) undergraduates in the 2022 academic year Computer and Information Applications course. Research instruments were designed and evaluated by experts. Over 18 weeks, qualitative and quantitative data were collected, with the qualitative data undergoing content analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data, comparing pretests, post-tests, and 2-week retests using a repeated measure ANOVA. One-sample t-tests were used to assess the model’s impact on CICT skills. The results showed a significant score improvement between tests, with the highest mean being seen in the 2-week retest. The BA-TPACK model significantly enhanced CICT skills, exceeding 80%. The students expressed high satisfaction, with the BA-TPACK model effectively enhancing CICT skills and academic achievement, recommending its integration into future computer and information courses. This study’s contribution lies in addressing the pressing need for CICT skills in the ‘new normal’. By developing and implementing a BLM grounded in the TPACK framework, this study not only enhances students’ CICT proficiency but also fills a crucial gap in the literature regarding effective pedagogical approaches to foster 21st century skills.
