ABSTRACT

This study aims to investigate an extension of experiential learning—education learning space (ELS) principles’ effectiveness in improving students’ satisfaction and its effect on performance, skills learned, learning motivation, learning attitude, and social awareness. Accounting, being quantitative in nature, and Event Management, being highly practical skill oriented, are the two courses of different natures designed for carrying out the study. A total of 252 usable samples were collected. The research results reveal that the application of the principles brought about not only short-term improvements of students in learning motivation and performance but long-term contribution on skills learned and enhancement of social awareness of students as well. A higher intention of students to participate in future social activities is also demonstrated. This study contributes to the empirical evidence of applying education learning space (ELS) principles to different teaching typologies and provides insights for educators on pedagogical activities planning and improvement.

摘要

这项研究旨在调查体验式学习的扩展-教育学习空间（ELS）原则在提高学生满意度方面的有效性及其对绩效，学习技能，学习动机，学习态度和社会意识的影响。会计本质上是定量的，而事件管理则是高度实践技能的导向，是专为进行研究而设计的两门性质不同的课程。总共收集了252个可用样本。研究结果表明，该原理的应用不仅带来了短期学习动机和学习成绩的提高，而且还为学习技能和提高了学生的社会意识做出了长期贡献。还显示出学生有更高的参与未来社交活动的意愿。
