Abstract

BACKGROUND: While studies have investigated relationships among learning motivation, social presence, and cognitive presence, there appear to be no studies on the inclusion of industry talks and the theory of inventive problem-solving (TRIZ) in strengthening engineering students’ learning motivation, social presence, and cognitive presence within a blended learning setting. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the influence of industry talks and TRIZ on learning motivation, social presence, and cognitive presence in a blended learning environment. METHODS: Data samples were obtained from 98 engineering students in a blended learning course and analysed using Spearman’s correlation test, regression, ANOVA, and t-test. RESULTS: Findings suggested that TRIZ and industry talks strongly, positively, and significantly correlated with learning motivation, social presence, and cognitive presence. A well-rounded learning experience compounded of TRIZ and industry talks significantly affected learning motivation, social presence, and cognitive presence, thereby enhancing students’ programme outcome (PO) achievement. CONCLUSIONS: These findings can be attributed to the students’ independent learning capabilities with TRIZ and industry talks. Analogically, embracing TRIZ and industry talks helps turn blended learning into a “sweet instead of bitter pill to swallow” for engineering students in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

在新冠肺炎大流行期间，将可吞咽的甜食与TRIZ和行业会谈混合在一起，以加强学习

背景：虽然有研究调查了学习动机、社会存在和认知存在之间的关系，但似乎没有研究将行业演讲和创造性解决问题理论（TRIZ）纳入混合学习环境中，以增强工程学生的学习动机、社交存在和认知存在。目的：研究在混合学习环境中，行业谈话和TRIZ对学习动机、社会存在和认知存在的影响。方法：从98名参加混合学习课程的工科学生中获得数据样本，并使用Spearman相关检验、回归、方差分析和t检验进行分析。结果：研究结果表明，TRIZ和行业谈话与学习动机、社交存在和认知存在强烈、正相关。综合TRIZ和行业谈话的全面学习体验显著影响了学习动机、社会存在和认知存在，从而提高了学生的课程成果（PO）成绩。结论：这些发现可归因于学生通过TRIZ和行业讲座的独立学习能力。类似地，在新冠肺炎疫情面前，接受TRIZ和行业会谈有助于将混合学习变成工程学生“难以下咽的苦果”。

期刊介绍： Human Systems Management (HSM) is an interdisciplinary, international, refereed journal, offering applicable, scientific insight into reinventing business, civil-society and government organizations, through the sustainable development of high-technology processes and structures. Adhering to the highest civic, ethical and moral ideals, the journal promotes the emerging anthropocentric-sociocentric paradigm of societal human systems, rather than the pervasively mechanistic and organismic or medieval corporatism views of humankind’s recent past. Intentionality and scope Their management autonomy, capability, culture, mastery, processes, purposefulness, skills, structure and technology often determine which human organizations truly are societal systems, while others are not. HSM seeks to help transform human organizations into true societal systems, free of bureaucratic ills, along two essential, inseparable, yet complementary aspects of modern management: a) the management of societal human systems: the mastery, science and technology of management, including self management, striving for strategic, business and functional effectiveness, efficiency and productivity, through high quality and high technology, i.e., the capabilities and competences that only truly societal human systems create and use, and b) the societal human systems management: the enabling of human beings to form creative teams, communities and societies through autonomy, mastery and purposefulness, on both a personal and a collegial level, while catalyzing people’s creative, inventive and innovative potential, as people participate in corporate-, business- and functional-level decisions. Appreciably large is the gulf between the innovative ideas that world-class societal human systems create and use, and what some conventional business journals offer. The latter often pertain to already refuted practices, while outmoded business-school curricula reinforce this problematic situation.
