The authors build on the prior multi-disciplinary literature suggesting that stereotype threat exists in assessment tasks. An instrument is designed and implemented to investigate whether the presence of gendered demographic data in a marketing assessment task will trigger stereotype threat, and in turn, affect the performance of female-identifying students. While exploratory in nature, the findings suggest that gendered data used for assessment purposes may negatively impact the performance of both female- and male-identifying marketing students, highlighting the importance of continuing conversations about biases in traditional marketing pedagogy.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"76 - 85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42020372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, students may experience discomfort when learning about and discussing controversial topics that are not normally discussed in class. To provide tools for educators to tackle this problem, we conducted an experiment using online discussion boards, manipulating the sequence order of the questions asked to the students. A sentiment analysis offered evidence that a specific set of questions can trigger students’ personal relevance, reducing their racial priming. This will increase the students’ willingness to participate in an open discussion about race, diversity, and gender issues with their peers. The main contribution is a specific educational design that allows instructors to incorporate sensitive topics into their marketing courses without jeopardizing the classroom dynamic.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"38 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42094439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The expectations placed on marketing practitioners to connect with a multiplicity of consumers requires a nuanced understanding of the different lifestyles, lived experiences and values of consumers. Exposing students to societal diversity and inclusive practices in their marketing curricula helps to inform their marketing practice in industry. Using an exploratory approach, through semi-structured expert interviews with marketing educators, two overarching themes emerged as crucial sources of inclusion in marketing education, namely pedagogical considerations and curriculum design considerations. This research proposes the Inside-Out framework as a guideline for marketing educators to foster inclusive teaching practices through the lens of the Experiential Learning Theory. Several recommendations for future research are presented, including the development of a teaching resource, an objective assessment of curriculum design and the continued examination of inclusive teaching practices within marketing education.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"7 - 21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48752190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has allowed university students to obtain their degrees through digital learning. Benefits such as reduced costs, flexibility, convenience, and greater accessibility have driven this change in modality. Yet, some advocates for online learning have not considered inequalities among minority students who do not have access to technology, face social isolation, greater technical difficulties, and lack support. Though these inequalities have been studied over the past two decades, the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the landscape that university students operate in with emergency online learning. We conducted an exploratory survey to examine the impact of this shift on minority students. The results reveal the experiences and perceptions of university minority students within emergency online learning through the lens of the digital divide. We found accessibility was neither a positive nor a negative barrier that minority students face, and that minority students could not connect with peers socially. However, minority students encountered fewer technical difficulties and felt they were more technologically literate because of the shift online. This paper concludes with ideas for marketing educators and professionals, as well as directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"22 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45549939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students were set a marketing assessment with an explicit social justice focus, thereby prompting them to reflect on their own backgrounds and unconscious biases whilst addressing issues of societal injustice. This study explores the impact on students of closely engaging with this material and how the assessment, which involved them interviewing experts and developing actionable recommendations, altered their views and career plans. Data were generated via focus groups with students who undertook the assessment, supplemented by some alumni and client interviews. The findings are presented as a “3A” framework of Awareness, Application, and Action: first, the assessment raised “Awareness” of broader societal issues and fostered transformation in terms of personal views; second, students developed core skills and networks they could “Apply” in their future careers; and third, “Action” describes the way students felt empowered to make a positive difference to their client and wider society. The 3A model provides simple design principles that educators could implement if they want to introduce transformational experiences based on social justice issues into the marketing curriculum.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"56 - 75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48983612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students enrolled in an upper-level marketing course completed a nine-day study abroad trip in Belize, where they were able to interact with diverse cultures. They also completed the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) as part of the class assessment at the beginning and end of the semester. To improve their IDI score, they received instruction, individual coaching, and completed individual assignments to increase their intercultural competency. Results show a significant positive increase in terms of developmental orientation toward other cultures at the end of the semester as compared to the beginning.

Students from South Korea (representing holistic thinking styles) and U.S. students (representing analytic thinking styles) were found to have a consistent set of relationships. Untrustworthiness in student teams was found to negatively impact teamwork and perceived team effectiveness across both samples. Teamwork had a positive impact on perceived team effectiveness, and perceived team effectiveness was also found to have a direct, positive impact on student team satisfaction in both samples. However, there were also several important cultural differences uncovered in this study. As predicted, students representing holistic thinking styles were seen to have a direct (negative) relationship between untrustworthiness and student team satisfaction as well as a direct (positive) relationship between teamwork and student team satisfaction. These relationships were not expected to be found in the students representing analytic thinking styles.

Whilst varied theories have been applied to study the pedagogical value of Kahoot!, the user experience (UX) theory is seldom considered. Taking the first step to address this gap, the present study seeks to explore students’ UX desirability of using Kahoot!, the subsequent behavioral effects, and the moderating effect of students’ orientation to study. The empirical setting includes an online survey administered to 47 marketing students at a regional university in the UK. The findings suggest that: i) students recalled stronger positive desirability than negative desirability, ii) positive desirability has a significant positive effect on perceived usefulness and motivation to attend a class, while negative desirability does not; and iii) motivation to attend is lower for students with the external orientation to study. These insights contribute to the extant literature of GSRSs and UX, and also offer practical implications on how to use GSRSs to motivate students’ in-class learning and attendance.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47205352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More guidance is needed to address how to support the self-efficacy of marketing students in acquiring analytical skills. We identify three independent types of confidence that relate to the development of analytical skills: confidence in natural ability, confidence in ability to learn, and confidence in current skills. We then provide the results of a two-phase survey, in which students rated an inventory of interventions designed to nurture and advance analytical capabilities. The results suggest that many of the preferences for interventions differ according to confidence level and type of confidence. For example, students with high confidence in their natural ability are more welcoming of opportunities for self-paced studies, while students with lower confidence in their natural ability are more likely to value using additional in-class time to practice quantitative problems. Overall, the findings indicate that quantitative marketing courses should offer multiple approaches for increasing students’ self-efficacy with analytics skills to reach diverse student segments, while using more uniform teaching approaches for valued interventions that do not significantly differ among student groups in terms of perceived helpfulness.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"211 - 225"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43183159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
