Knowledge Creation Activity System for Learning ERP Concepts Through Simulation Game. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Learning ERP concepts is challenging as ERP systems are complex. Gamification promises to be an effective method to enhance students' motivation to learn. However, how to effectively integrate simulation game into ERP concept learning is not straightforward. We propose a theory-driven methodology by formulating a ERP learning system based on simulation game. We argue that Activity Theory, SECI and CMC knowledge creation processes can be consistently unified for an expressive theoretical model that clearly defines the unit of analysis and demonstrates the linkage between the expansive, social and historical processes that give rise to a snapshot of a system at a particular moment. This paper proceeds to formulate a ERP learning activity system through simulation game. With the clearly defined unit of analysis, a set of measures can be constructed to measure the effectiveness of the activity system. A pilot study involving graduating students enrolled in an ERP course is conducted. The preliminary result suggests positive effects of the simulation game on the learning of ERP concepts. Lastly, this paper expands on the preliminary results and anticipate the application of this theory-driven methodology to formulate comprehensive learning activity systems and measures for effectiveness of learning ERP concepts. Further empirical studies are required to implement and assess the effectiveness of these activities systems such anticipated. |
