Predictors of Perceived Learning and Satisfaction in Web-based MBA Courses: A Test and Extension of Chickering and Gamson's (1987) Seven Principles of Good Practice in Education

摘要

Chickering and Gamson's (1987) seven principles of good practice in undergraduate classroom education have received extensive attention in the higher education community. However, research that attempts to generalize their ideas to other contexts is rather limited. This study found support for extending five of the seven principles to web-based MBA courses. Using both survey-based and objective measures of the seven principles, we found that greater student-faculty contact and higher course expectations were strong predictors, while feedback, student collaboration, and time on task were moderately associated with learning and satisfaction.
