Research on the relation the characteristics of the faculty and the commitment to continuous improvement of motivations and student study processes

Abstract

This study focused on China's higher education system and explored if personality traits were a mediator of the relationship between motivational mechanisms and continuous improvement, and further explored if leadership change was a moderator of the relationship between personality traits and continuous improvement of the motivations and student study processes. In this paper, partial least squares (PLS) was the primary methodology used to test mediation and moderation. This study analysed 350 samples even though a large sample may cause an evaluative error in the mediation effect when using PLS. For this reason, we further adopted the Sobel test to verify this effect. According to the test results, in addition to motivational mechanisms having a positive effect on continuous improvement of the motivations and student study processes, personality traits are a mediator that influences the effect of motivational mechanisms on the continuous improvement of the motivations and student study processes. Furthermore, we proved that leadership change is a moderator between personality traits and continuous improvement of the motivations and student study processes. In addition, we discussed the relationship between mediation and moderation effects of different personality traits and leadership change.

Assessing mobile learning system performance in Indonesia: Reports of the model development and its instrument testing

“…On the other hand, it is important to know whether mobile learning system has a positive impact as expected. In this study the researchers adopted the IS success model [14,15], combined with the two learning aspects (i.e., learning contents and motivation of the learning participant) [2,16,17], and then adapted it in terms of mobile learning context [18][19][20][21][22]. The researchers assumed, despite the success model is the popular model for assessing IS performance among in the IS research field; of course, the model may also need to be extended referring to the research context.…”

The Effects of Team-Game-Tournaments Application towards Learning Motivation and Motor Skills in College Physical Education

“…The TGT spirit is that the success of the team depends on the success of individual members, whose learning is enhanced through the establishment of a tournament for mutual competition and growth, enabling students to demonstrate their concentration and active participation [46]. As stated by Wodarski and Feit [47], and Chen and Chen [48], TGT provides students with the opportunity to interact with their peers while learning, and the improvement of the incentive mechanism has a positive impact on the motivation of continuous improvement and students' learning process. If viewed according to the motivation theory model by Pintrich [49], individuals who are oriented toward goals and have higher expectations for success are more likely to be engaged in their work and persist rather than give up when they encounter difficulties.…”

Readiness and Success of Ubiquitous Learning in Indonesia: Perspectives from the Implementation of a Pilot Project

“…In this study, Subiyakto's [39,40] information system readiness and success (ISRS) model was adopted and adapted in the context of u-learning implementation performance ( Figure 1) in terms of continuous model development [41,42]. The model itself was developed by combining Delone and McLean's [43] IS success (ISS) model and Parasuraman and Colby's [25] technology readiness index (TRI) model [39,40].…”
