Business Simulation Games and Student Performance.
Dr Matt Offord PhD MBA
You are being invited to take part in a research study. Before you decide to take part it is important for you to understand why the research is being done and what it will involve. Please read the following information carefully and discuss it with others if you wish. Ask the researcher/s if there is anything that is not clear or if you would like more information. Take some time to decide whether or not you wish to take part.
Thank you for reading this.
This study is designed to explore the relationship between different types of teaching and student performance. You have been selected to participate as you are studying on a course which uses simulations games as a method of teaching. We will collect anonymous performance data from both simulation and non-simulation sections of the course to compare performance. We collect these data in the normal course of teaching, so you will not be doing anything differently, other than consenting to the use of your anonymous performance data. In this study we will be looking at traditional teaching methods like presentations and serious games. You will participate in either of these forms of teaching. You will then be offered the chance to complete some multi-choice questions (MCQ). The MCQ will give you feedback about how much of the content you have remembered, what areas need revision etc. This is for your benefit. We will, additionally, collect data on student performance but this will be anonymous, we will not know how you specifically performed. The MCQ will take 10 minutes. You will get feedback and we will get anonymous results.
Your personal information is safe as we will not collect these data from you at any point in the process.
Please note that assurances on confidentiality will be strictly adhered to unless evidence of wrongdoing or potential harm is uncovered. In such cases the University may be obliged to contact relevant statutory bodies/agencies. In this case, this scenario is extremely unlikely.
The data we collect will be anonymised performance scores along with the type of teaching you received. There is no personal data, all the data is called research data. This means we will keep the data for 10 years in a secure repository. The data will be used for conference papers and journals as well as presentations and talks. Additionally, other researchers may ask to use the data for their own research or to verify our results. Since the data contains no personal identifiers, it will be impossible for anyone to work out what your score is. We will destroy the data after 10 years.
This project is approved by the College of Social Sciences Research Ethics Committee
To pursue any complaint about the conduct of the research: contact the College of Social Sciences Ethics Officer, Dr Susan Batchelor, email: socsci-ethics-lead@glasgow.ac.uk
