Effective Teaching And Learning: A Business Education Focus, Anne Abraham
Effective Teaching And Learning: A Business Education Focus, Anne Abraham
Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)
The need to understand the process of student learning in order to improve the quality of that learning has been identified in the education literature (for example, see Biggs, 1978, 1987a, 1987b, Malton and Saljo, 1976, Ramsden, 1992). In addition, the outcomes of this learning have been identified in quantitative, qualitative or attitudinal terms (Biggs, 1990; Marton and Booth, 1997). To this end there have been a number of models of student approaches to learning (Biggs, 1988; Kember and Gow, 1989; Marton and Saljo, 1976; Zhang, 2000). Each model has considered the antecedents, and by way of application, the effectiveness …

Developing On-Line E-Commerce Business Plans To Provide Students With Context And Job Opportunities, Joseph Luca, Catherine E Mcloughlin
Research outputs pre 2011
This action research presents a description of how an on-line E-commerce business-planning unit was developed. Initially, an intensive ten-day E-commerce course was developed in collaboration with government, industry and university sectors with a view of raising awareness and promoting electronic business planning issues. The course utilised a range of learning approaches, including peer teaching, in which participants were trained as team leaders to facilitate group learning. Based on the evaluation of this course, a full semester course for final year tertiary studentswas developed and evaluated. An overview of both case studies is given with recommendations for future developments.
Does The Model Matter For Greg Estimation? A Business Survey Example, Dan Hedlin, Hannah Falvey, Raymond Chambers, Phillip Kokic
Does The Model Matter For Greg Estimation? A Business Survey Example, Dan Hedlin, Hannah Falvey, Raymond Chambers, Phillip Kokic
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Although asymptotically design-unbiased, GREG estimators may produce bad estimates. The article examines the behaviour of GREG estimators when the underlying models are misspecified. It shows how an efficient GREG estimator was found for a business survey that posed some problems. The work involved data exploration in several steps, combined with analyses of g-weights, residuals and standard regression diagnostics. We discuss two diagnostics for whether a GREG estimate is reasonable or not. A common justification for the use of GREG estimators is that, being asymptotically design unbiased, they are relatively robust to model choice. However, we show that the property of …

The Promotion Of A Secular Work Ethic, Sharon Beder
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
[Extract] The compulsion to work has clearly become pathological in modern industrial societies. Millions of people are working long hours, devoting their lives to making or doing things that will not enrich their lives or make them happier but will add to the garbage and pollution that the earth is finding difficult to accommodate. They are so busy doing this that they have little time to spend with their family and friends, to develop other aspects of themselves, to participate in their communities as full citizens. ...... Despite the dysfunctionality of the work ethic it continues to be promoted and …
