This study constructed and validated an attitude scale for ethics learning units using technology among undergraduate students in a Mexican business school. We sought to determine whether the motivation and usage of a learning-management system (LMS) combined with learning elements in mobile applications and the active support of instructor increases motivation, willingness to learn, learning benefit, and satisfaction in ethics learning units. The approach of this study is quantitative, transversal, and not experimental and used a sample (N = 227) of international business, administration, and public accounting undergraduate students. The self-reported data from students were obtained from anonymous questionnaire surveys. It is a pilot study and the sample presented is relatively small, which limits the applicability of the findings. Because the instrument is a self-support and is anonymous, participants can respond in socially desirable terms, remaining neutral in the response.
This study is part of a research project on student mobility in a Mexican public university in the northeast of the country and presents here the results from undergraduate students of public accounting, international business and information technology. The study shows the emotions that students experienced during and after their stay at a European university, influencing their cultural awareness, self-directed learning and personal development. The qualitative approach contextualizes the students' contributions, which were obtained through interviews and written reports. The work contributes to the rethinking of training processes, where curriculum support is included to promote intercultural competence in the preparation of students before going abroad.
Esta investigación se enfoca en el tema de los Entornos Personales de Aprendizaje o Personal Learning Enviroment (PLE), como estrategia pedagógica asociada con el desarrollo de habilidades metacognitivas de autorregulación y autonomía que permiten al estudiante autogestionar su aprendizaje en un entorno virtual. Desde esta perspectiva, se realizó un estudio no experimental, transaccional y de alcance descriptivo para conocer los componentes del PLE (estrategias, procesos y tecnologías) que utiliza el estudiante, para desarrollar sus habilidades metacognitivas de autogestión del aprendizaje, como procesos convenientes para cumplir los propósitos de formación de una Unidad de Aprendizaje del programa de Licenciatura en Administración, impartida en modalidad virtual en contexto de pandemia por COVID-19, por una universidad pública del Noreste de México. En el proceso participaron 42 estudiantes inscritos en el semestre febrero – julio de 2021. El análisis de los datos se realizó mediante pruebas no paramétricas para generar resultados descriptivos sobre las herramientas digitales del PLE del estudiante en el desarrollo de sus procesos de autogestión del aprendizaje, particularmente en acciones relacionadas con la autogestión de la información. Los hallazgos muestran que los recursos tecnológicos que emplean los estudiantes en la configuración de su PLE, marcan una alta tendencia hacia los medios audiovisuales para fortalecer sus habilidades metacognitivas de autonomía y autogestión del aprendizaje.
