摘要

摘要本研究以1286个商业本科个体班的643名学生为研究对象，探讨影响学生习得指定教材和教学材料的因素。研究结果表明，与直觉相反，较低的教科书价格并没有增加习得率，指定材料的效用是习得的主要决定因素。当学生没有获得他们的课本和材料时，这似乎与他们认为课程的成功与获得这些材料无关的信念有关。结果表明，许多学生即使以较低的价格也不会购买获得好成绩所需的材料。对实践和政策提出了建议。

Do textbook prices matter? An exploration of factors that influence textbook acquisition by undergraduate business students

Abstract This study of 643 students covering 1286 individual undergraduate business classes explored the factors impacting student acquisition of assigned textbooks and instructional materials. The findings indicated that counterintuitively, lower textbook prices did not increase acquisition rates, and that the utility of assigned materials was the primary determinant of acquisition. When students do not acquire their textbooks and materials, it appears to be tied to the belief that course success is not linked to acquiring those materials. Results suggest that materials not needed to obtain a good grade will not be acquired by many students, even at lower prices. Recommendations for practice and policy are offered.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Education for Business is for those educating tomorrow''s businesspeople. The journal primarily features basic and applied research-based articles in entrepreneurship, accounting, communications, economics, finance, information systems, management, marketing, and other business disciplines. Along with the focus on reporting research within traditional business subjects, an additional expanded area of interest is publishing articles within the discipline of entrepreneurship. Articles report successful innovations in teaching and curriculum development at the college and postgraduate levels. Authors address changes in today''s business world and in the business professions that are fundamentally influencing the competencies that business graduates need. JEB also offers a forum for new theories and for analyses of controversial issues. Articles in the Journal fall into the following categories: Original and Applied Research; Editorial/Professional Perspectives; and Innovative Instructional Classroom Projects/Best Practices. Articles are selected on a blind peer-reviewed basis. Original and Applied Research - Articles published feature the results of formal research where findings have universal impact. Editorial/Professional Perspective - Articles published feature the viewpoint of primarily the author regarding important issues affecting education for business. Innovative Instructional Classroom Projects/Best Practices - Articles published feature the results of instructional experiments basically derived from a classroom project conducted at one institution by one or several faculty.
