ABSTRACT

Experiential learning projects provide students with the opportunity to think critically about their own experiences in addition to testing and developing innovative ideas to solve problems. The view of many employers is that experiential learning projects may increase the student’s ability to make contributions early on as employees and that students that participate in such projects may obtain a higher level of business maturity. While there are challenges associated with implementing experiential learning projects within in Principle of Marketing courses, and these challenges may be used to support the view that experiential learning is most appropriate for upper-level marketing courses; incorporating such projects into introductory marketing courses can be valuable. The results of this study show that not only can comparable student outcomes be achieved based on traditional measures, such as tests and exams, but that experiential projects can provide students with the opportunity to engage in solving important problems facing organizations within their community.

体验式学习项目除了测试和开发创新思路以解决问题之外,还为学生提供了批判性地思考自己体验的机会 许多雇主认为,体验式学习项目可能会帮助学生尽早成为公司一员,为公司多做贡献,且参与此类项目的学生的业务成熟度更高 虽然在《市场营销原理》课程中采用体验式学习项目存在挑战,但这些挑战恰好可以用来支持体验式学习更适用于高级营销课程这一观点。将这种项目融入到市场营销入门课程中,大有裨益

市场营销被视为一门实用学科,但其内容“很大程度上受经济变化、竞争行为、技术、人口统计资料以及影响营销实践的法律变化的影响” 《市场营销学》势必成为一门必修课程,受众广泛,可能包括对此课程并不感兴趣的学生群体。因此,积极主动的学习方法似乎更有效。

本研究提出了两个研究问题:1)在《市场营销原理》课程中,采用体验式学习项目与采用传统作业(即:制定市场营销计划)的学生成绩在传统评估(如考试)中是否存在差异?2)在《市场营销原理》课程中采用体验式学习项目需要从教师那里获得什么样的帮助?

为了回答第一个问题,对《市场营销原理》的两个部分的平均成绩做了对比分析。课程两部分的讲座授课方式和考试内容相同。而不同之处在于一个是历时一个学期的体验式学习项目的作业,而另一个作业则是要求学生为他们选择的产品或服务制定传统的市场营销计划。此外,本研究还分析了教师向学习管理系统发布的公告内容用以回答第二个研究问题。

本研究结果表明,基于传统测试方法(如测验和考试),在《市场营销原理》课程中采用体验式学习计划时,学生成绩斐然。研究结果还表明,与传统项目相比,在课程中采用体验式学习项目,教师可能需要更频繁地与学生交流。
