A case study on teaching computerized information systems for fashion retailing students

Abstract

Fashion retailing is an important section of the fashion industry. Driven by the industrial needs, subjects such as information systems management are included in the curriculum of educational programs on fashion retailing. However, most fashion retailing students do not have good prior knowledge on technological methods associated with computerized information systems. This makes the design of teaching and learning materials for them difficult. In this paper, I report some preliminary findings and insights on my own curriculum design and teaching of a subject entitled Fashion Retail Information Systems.

Specifically, it discussed the improvement of technologies and methods, such as neuroeducation, which support students' learning process through new methods and strategies such as computer-aided instruction and 3D printing (Cheng, Liu, & Lin, 2015;Choi, 2012;Coelho Lima Júnior & Zuanon, 2019;Kwon, Lee, & Kim, 2017;Wiana, 2018) and it also discussed challenges faced by educators while engaging fashion students in sustainability development and introducing new pedagogical marketing and communication strategies and perspectives (Joyner, Connell, Lang, Ruppert-Stroescu, & LeHew, 2016;Lenoir, 2019).…”
