“…Furthermore, the perception questionnaire shows that adequate learning facilities and infrastructure are needed to support laboratory-based learning. Learning facilities and infrastructure are indeed core components in laboratories; it is hoped that these facilities and infrastructure also follow the characteristics of the learning material (Bottani et al, 2022). However, more than 90 percent of subjects said that learning in the laboratory required a long preparation period.…”

Many courses in higher education require real practice so that students can master the expected skills. Practice through lab-based learning is one that is recommended. The aim of this research is to determine the impact of laboratory-based learning on learning in autism learning courses. This research applies a quantitative research approach with a pre-experimental research design with a one group pre-test post-test design. The research involved twenty-five students taking part in laboratory learning over four meetings. The learning impact is measured from the pre-test and post-test scores which are analyzed non-parametrically using the Wilcoxon Test and a perception questionnaire regarding laboratory-based learning. The Wilcoxon test results show differences in the pre-test and post-test results. This indicates that laboratory-based learning has an impact on student learning outcomes. Furthermore, the results of the questionnaire analysis showed that students enjoyed learning in the laboratory and the majority felt that learning in the laboratory was useful, even though it required longer preparation. The results of this research can be a basis for developing laboratory-based learning models in other courses.

Servitization for Teaching and Research Laboratories

In this paper, we present a pattern for assessing the feasibility of laboratories and lab networks to operate in a service-oriented form of business. Our focus is on the field of engineering, and on a network of academic labs, and we aim to provide a practical tool for disclosing the opportunity of servitization, or to use Laboratories-as-a-Service (LaaS), for interested companies. By using a traditional pitch deck approach, we define the available digital online offer of the specific labs, and we structure a questionnaire to investigate the market demand. Afterwards, we sketch the main servitization characteristics required to digital online labs from a business perspective. The pattern we propose has been used as a guideline for interviews to selected stakeholders of two specific labs, namely a remotely available RFID lab for internal logistics in the retail sector, and a serious game for operations and supply chain management. The answers we collected suggested the feasibility of the labs servitization, by defining both strengths and weaknesses.

“…More recently, thanks to the rise of non-traditional labs and lab networks [6], [7], and to the improvements in distance learning and online services for education [8], SGs have seen a new wave of interest as they are more and more perceived as immersive and entertaining learning tools [9]. This reconsideration is also accelerated by the fact that many teachers consider learning by doing as an effective teaching style to close the gap between theory and practice [10], and SGs give learners the opportunity to explore and understand a simulated context by reflecting everyday practical processes, without exposing learners to most the risks that these processes include [11]. For these reasons, SGs are effective tools to teach and learn subjects like Operations and Supply Chain Management, among others.…”

Exploratory Research on Adaptability and Flexibility of a Serious Game in Operations and Supply Chain Management

et al. 2022

Serious games (SGs) in industrial engineering education are an established topic, whose implementations are continuously growing. In particular, they are recognized as effective tools to teach and learn subjects like Operations and Supply Chain Management. The research on SGs, however, is primarily focused on displaying applications and teaching results of particular games to achieve given purposes. In this paper, we provide an exploratory research on the flexibility and adaptability of a specific SG to different target groups and students’ needs in the field of operations and supply chain management. We first provide an overview of the SG and introduce its mechanics. Next, we explain how the mechanics has been implemented, by means of a set of parameters and indicators. We report the results of two different game sessions, played by a class of bachelor’s degree students at different levels of difficulty, which were achieved by altering some specific game parameters. By comparing the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in the two sessions, we report and discuss the consequences of the modified game parameters, in terms of impact on the difficulty level of the SG measured by the indicators. Experimental results match with our hypothesis, since the increased level of difficulty of sourcing and delivery times only deteriorates the related subset of indicators in the harder game session, without altering the remaining KPIs.
