“…Expectation management, personal assistance, involvement in academic activities and developing learning skills all influence academic adjustment, which in turn lowers dropout (Raza et al, 2020). Potentially critical mediator is student motivation, especially considering a non-linear relationship, which has been described as "student motivation being contagious" (Krishen, 2013). Wardley et al have expanded on that and viewed student engagement in the centre of retention and that skill variety, autonomy and customer service are key factors in increasing student commitment (Wardley et al, 2021).…”

Dropping out of school is traditionally frowned upon by judging the individual and pointing out supply-side waste – resources have been spent without the intended output of a capable graduate. This paper analyses views of dropouts from a local business administration undergraduate programme in Estonia. The survey and interviews focused on ex-students 2-15 years post-leave to chart a spectrum of dropout causes, resulting impacts and personal reflections. The data suggests the majority of students perceive significant value in their cut-short college experience, while a minority expressed various hard feelings. The paper discusses the extent to which student retention can be increased in the focal case (retention ceiling around 75%) and anticipated improvement actions. The data shows that learning without diploma is still perceived as valuable learning, which fits modern business education paradigm. Therefore the paper argues against viewing graduation rate as the main KPIs in business studies at publicly funded school. Keywords: undergraduate business education, student attrition, college dropout causes, programme development, value of learning.

“…In addition, teamwork influences a student’s individual motivation (Krishen, 2013) and his/her learning goals. This is because working in a team increases the perception of competence and control over the activity, thus increasing the enjoyment of the task (León et al, 2011).…”

Construction and Validation of a Measurement Instrument for Attitudes towards Teamwork

et al. 2017

Cooperative, collaborative learning and other forms of group learning methods are increasingly used in classrooms. Knowing students’ attitudes toward teamwork has great value since they influence the students’ learning results as well as their social development. So it is necessary to have robust instruments to provide a better understanding of these attitudes and preferences concerning teamwork. Such instruments also help to identify the factors that promote positive or negative attitudes within the context of group activities. Using a sample of 750 first and second year university students studying a degree in Kindergarten, Primary and Social Education, an instrument measuring attitudes toward team learning has been developed. Two distinct factors were obtained through various factorial analyses and structural equations: Academic attitudes and Social and emotional attitudes. Our study reveals that the instrument is both valid and reliable. Its application is both simple and fast and it has important implications for planning teaching and learning activities that contribute to an improvement in attitudes as well as the practice of teaching in the context of learning through teamwork.

“…Marketing curriculum is typically taught using traditional course material. This leaves little room for exploration of sensitive, self-relevant, or real-world topics that might deeply engage students and help develop their creativity, motivation, and critical thinking skills (Krishen, 2013(Krishen, , 2021. In fact, important and relevant topics such as ethics and diversity are often treated as an afterthought or footnote in marketing curriculum.…”

Often considered an enhancement to the learning experience, technology can also stifle creativity and higher levels of thinking. This study repositions students away from technology and back to the basics to stimulate engagement and higher levels of learning. It investigates the relationship between learning outcomes and the reflective journaling process in the context of an undergraduate marketing class in the United States. In addition, this study investigates a technique in which students are introduced to topics that are sensitive in nature, yet relevant to the real world. Although reflective journaling has been utilized in courses in areas such as educational psychology and social work, it has not been widely practiced in business courses such as marketing. Through the lens of Bloom’s Taxonomy, we qualitatively analyze handwritten reflective journaling assignments about loneliness and social media to determine how the process highlights higher levels of learning. The opportunity to use handwritten journals provided a unique learning experience and a hands-on approach to allow marketing students to experience learning in a new light.
