Abstract

ABSTRACT This research examines the use of popular media in curriculum to engage undergraduate students. It discusses opportunities and challenges faced by educators who use popular television media as a practicum in their curriculum and suggests best practices for pre- and post-viewing dialog and discussion. The results of a 14-semester longitudinal study reveal a significant number of students making specific, positive reference to The Office in qualitative portions of their end of the semester evaluations. Overall, these students prefer behavioral modeling over traditional case studies and believe aligning class topics with The Office is stimulating because it holds their interest, and makes the class more engaging. Perhaps most significant, students believe utilization of The Office provides an avenue for them to discuss controversial HRM issues in a safe and tangible way without having to disclose current or prior work situations, and in situations where students may otherwise choose to remain silent.

“我们一代”就是这么说的?-在现代人力资源管理课堂上，办公室使主动学习和提高记忆力成为可能

摘要:本研究探讨了在课程中使用流行媒体来吸引本科生。它讨论了在课程中使用流行电视媒体作为实践的教育工作者所面临的机遇和挑战，并提出了观看前和观看后对话和讨论的最佳做法。一项为期14个学期的纵向研究的结果显示，相当多的学生在学期末评估的定性部分中明确、积极地提到了办公室。总的来说，这些学生更喜欢行为建模而不是传统的案例研究，他们认为将课堂主题与《办公室》结合起来是令人兴奋的，因为它能保持他们的兴趣，使课堂更吸引人。也许最重要的是，学生们认为，利用办公室为他们提供了一个途径，让他们以一种安全、切实的方式讨论有争议的人力资源管理问题，而不必透露当前或以前的工作情况，在学生可能选择保持沉默的情况下。
