“…Entrepreneurial knowledge activates proactivity, motivation and creativity amongst other important business start-up factors. Establishing a new business is not free from challenges (Palacios-Marqués et al, 2015) and Brewer & Gibson (2014) identify several important business start-up factors. For example, the study done by Iakovleva et al (2014) indicates that a lack of self-motivation is a serious challenge to the entrepreneurship of Information Technology JMER, 2023, 04(2), 123─137 students from European countries.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the influence of intrinsic factors (proactiveness, motivation, creativity) on the personal attitude of agricultural students to start a farming business in South Africa. This relationship was looked at from gender perspective. Research Design & Methods: An estimated 3,486 students were enrolled for various agriculture-related qualifications in various 27 institutions of higher learning in South Africa when this cross-sectional, quantitative study was carried out. Data from 421 agricultural students were collected through a Prospective Farmers Profile Questionnaire at six institutions of higher learning in South Africa. Findings: The study finds no significant gender influence on all intrinsic factors and also on the personal attitude of agricultural students to start a farming business. The results further revealed that personal attitude to start a business is predicted by intrinsic factors, motivation, and creativity, but not proactiveness. Implications and Recommendations: Entrepreneurial syllabi should aim to equip students with intrinsic factors as these shape the personal attitude to start a business. It is a positive personal attitude that will likely result in a start-up. Farming entrepreneurship, especially among the youth will assist in employment creation as well as food security, two problems that many countries are currently facing. Contribution & Value Added: Proactiveness is one of the most important dimensions of entrepreneurship but agricultural students do not consider it significant in their personal attitude to start a business. Proactiveness should be built into the syllabi for students to be better acquainted with this critical business start-up element.

Extraction, Processing and Visualization of Peer Assessment Data in Moodle

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Situated in the intersection of two emerging trends, online self- and peer assessment modes and learning analytics, this study explores the current landscape of software applications to support peer assessment activities and their necessary requirements to complete the learning analytics cycle upon the information collected from those applications. More particularly, the study focuses on the specific case of Moodle Workshops, and proposes the design and implementation of an application, the Moodle Workshop Data EXtractor (MWDEX) to overcome the data analysis and visualization shortcomings of the Moodle Workshop module. This research paper details the architecture design, configuration, and use of the application, and proposes an initial validation of the tool based on the current peer assessment practices of a group of learning analytics experts. The results of the small-scale survey suggest that the use of software tools to support peer assessment is not so extended as it would initially seem, but also highlight the potential of MWDEX to take full advantage of Moodle Workshops.
