ABSTRACT This research studies the impact of taking an international business course (IB) under both online and face-to-face methods on changes in the attitudinal construct global openness. This research also examines how the personality trait of openness to experience influences the change in the degree of global openness achieved by the students. Findings show that taking IB significantly increases students’ degree of global openness in both online and face-to-face methods; however, the increase is greater with face-to-face students than online. By dividing the sample into both high versus low openness to experience and online versus face-to-face, findings show differences between the high and low openness to experience groups in both online and face-to-face courses. In face-to-face classes, the results showed that the low openness students increased their degree of global openness more than the high openness to experience students. The increase is not found to be significant with the online high openness group indicating that online IB education is less effective with high openness to experience students. The overall results suggest face-to-face teaching is more effective in making attitudinal changes than online teaching.

课程授课形式，全球开放性和开放性以参加国际商务课程

摘要本研究研究在线和面对面方式下参加国际商务课程（IB）对态度构造全球开放性变化的影响。这项研究还探讨了开放体验的人格特质如何影响学生实现的全球开放程度的变化。研究结果表明，采用IB可以显着提高学生的在线和面对面方法的全球开放程度；但是，面对面学生的增长幅度要大于在线学生。通过将样本分为高开放性和低开放性体验以及在线与面对面开放性，研究结果显示在线和面对面课程的高和低开放性体验群体之间的差异。在面对面的课程中 结果表明，开放性低的学生比体验性高的学生增加了全球开放程度。在线高开放性群体的增长并不显着，这表明在线IB教育在体验学生高度开放的情况下效果较差。总体结果表明，面对面的教学比在线教学更有效地进行了态度上的改变。
