“…There are published studies concerning the application of evaluation methods to assess possible improvements that foster learning in students (Bowles, 2008; Britt, McCall, Austin, & Piterman, 2007; Fančovičová & Prokop, 2010; Jaeger, 1998; Mowder & Shamah, 2011; Murayama, Zhou, & Nesbit, 2009; Rivero, Martínez-Pampliega, & Olson, 2010; Zhang, 2011). This research presents evaluation questionnaires as tools by which data processing systems can be an effective and convenient strategy to reinforce student learning.…”

The experience achieved using the tool “Questionnaires,” available inside the Virtual Campus of an architectural engineering school in northeast Spain, is presented. “Questionnaires” is a mechanism/tool adequate and simple to evaluate the knowledge level achieved by students. This work shows and identifies the control indices of adaptation for questionnaires, such as the Facility Index, the standard deviation, the Discrimination Index, and the Discrimination Coefficient. From these parameters, educational performance is inferred, identified, and predicted. The conclusions of this work will allow the modification of deficient knowledge-evaluation practices and the identification of needs for specific groups or for students with particular requirements, thus making it feasible to apply these parameters with a guarantee of success in similar evaluation processes.

“…The use of importance ratings is well established in psychometrics (Mowder and Shamah, 2011;Nunnally, 1978;Trauer and Mackinnon, 2001). Importance ratings have also been used in many research fields such as cognition research (Hampton, 1987), applied psychology (Frone and Yardley, 1996;Ros et al, 1999;Trauer and Mackinnon, 2001), higher education (Díaz et al, 2010;Thompson and Mazer, 2009), service management (Gourdji et al, 2003;Landrum et al, 2010;Papatla, 2011) and marketing (Marshall and Brown, 2004;Persia and Gitelson, 1993).…”

Purpose Employees play a significant role in implementing corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices. This paper aims to examine the perceived importance of CSR practices and identifies improvement areas of CSR practices using the importance-performance analysis from Macao’s casino employees’ perspective. Design/methodology/approach Based on a literature review of CSR in the hospitality industry and ISO 26000, a comprehensive set of CSR practices including responsible gaming practices was identified. Data were collected from 298 casino employees. Importance-performance analysis as well as exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to identify important CSR practices and the factor structure of CSR in Macao’s gaming industry. Findings Employees rated “providing good wages and health insurance” as the most important practice, followed by “creating a health and safe working environment” and “be fair and honest with employees.” The importance-performance analysis shows that employees perceived their firms performing well in “providing good wages and health insurance,” “protecting consumer data and consumer privacy” and “providing good consumer service and support.” The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicate that CSR in Macao’s gaming industry encompasses seven factors, namely, “Labor Practices,” “The Environment,” “Fair Operating Practices,” “Consumer Issues,” “Human Rights,” “Community Involvement” and “Responsible Gaming”. Originality/value Casino employees shape customer experience, recognizing and understanding how employees view CSR practices can help casino operators refine their CSR initiatives.

Information consumption in China occurs in a rapidly shifting social and political environment. Understanding this group of information consumers is likely to play an important role in business and political decision making globally for the foreseeable future. Ratings of the importance of the dimensions of information quality and the way in which these ratings have shifted over time shed light on the beliefs of this group of information consumers. This study reports the results of a nonpanel longitudinal study involving two surveys conducted in China over a five year period examining information consumer ratings of the importance of the dimensions of information quality. Results show that Chinese information consumers rate the information quality dimensions of believability, reputation, and value-added as less important at the end of the five year period than at the beginning and rate representational consistency and concise representation as more important at the end of the five year period than at the beginning.
