We Had So Much Fun. Now What? Research-in-Progress

摘要

The declining enrollment is a dilemma that many information systems programs are facing. In this study, we design a "Mobile Star" project to promofe the information systems major to high school students in Texas. Each "Mobile Star" project consists of a mobile app development workshop and the student's app showcase. We expect to explore whether the student's perceived completion, perceived achievement, and perceived enjoyment received from the extracurricular activities can transform into their commitment to formal information systems studies and their actual enrollment into the information systems majors. We introduce our theoretical model, current pilot studies, and future project implementations in this research-in-progress report.
