Experience management as an innovative approach in emerging Mediterranean destinations

2019

Abstract Recent experience-centric management theory stresses the quality of the interaction between the consumer and the company as the key contributor to the creation of value. The theory follows that understanding tourists' quality of service experience (QSE) is crucial if tourism managers are to effectively support the value cocreation experience. This study examines the impact of QSE on destination image, as well as the impact of these variables on positive word-of-mouth and revisit intentions. The hypotheses are tested with data from a convenience sample of 1362 tourists who were surveyed in seven emerging Mediterranean destinations. Notably, the variable QSE is considered to be a for…

Administration, Scoring, and Reporting Scores

2013

This chapter covers administration, scoring, and reporting scores from language tests and examinations. Procedures typically used in major language examinations and small-scale classroom testing and assessment are both covered. It is argued that the administration, scoring, and reporting procedures are highly dependent on the purpose and stakes of the assessment. Selected national and international guidelines of good practice are reviewed to see what they have to say about these phases of the assessment process, and examples are given on how, for example, high stakes certification and achievement tests differ from teacher-based formative and diagnostic tests. The review considers how the sk…

2021

Background Identifying psychological correlates of children’s physical activity intentions may signpost potentially modifiable targets for interventions aimed at promoting physical activity participation. School recess and leisure-time outside of school are appropriate contexts in which such interventions may be delivered. However, few studies have identified correlates of physical activity intentions in these environments. Examining correlates in these contexts may provide formative evidence on which to base interventions to promote physical activity. Purpose The current study adopted an integrated theoretical model to test relations between motivational constructs from self-determination…

Peer-assessment using test exams in a Sakai-based e-learning platform

2021

We report our work on the implementation of a learning innovation based on the combination of peer-assessment and formative learning. The methodology consists on the students themselves to propose, review and select questions for the subsequent creation of a "multiple choice" exam to assess their progress. This learning innovation is carried out with a minimum intervention from the lecturer by using testing tools from the Sakai-based e-learning platform of our institution in combination with several software functions that have been created to automate the aggregation and processing of the students’ contributions. According to the feedback collected from the students, these learning tasks h…

How does the online service level influence consumers’ purchase intentions before a transaction? A formative approach

2016

AbstractThe present paper tries to study the impact of online services level in contexts where transactions have not been done yet, through the adoption of a formative approach. In this scene, the present research considers two main dimensions of online services (pre-purchase services and transaction-related services) in a context of clothing purchasing process. Before defining the research and determining the sector to be analyzed, 7 focus groups were conducted. From the obtained conclusions, this study was carried on in the textile sector. A survey with 370 effective respondents was carried out. To measure the different concepts in the model, several scales were used based on literature p…

Percepción del alumnado sobre evaluación formativa y compartida: conectando dos universidades a través de la Blogosfera

2017

The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in physical education students’ perception on an educational innovation based on formative and peer assessment through the blogosphere. The sample was made up of 253 students from two Spanish universities. Data was collected using a self-reported questionnaire and t tests were employed in order to find differences among students’ groups. Results show significant differences in almost all of the items on which the students were questioned. Basque students were more satisfied with the assessment tool used than the Valencian students. Students found the blogosphere more active, meaningful, functional and motivating and that it made for collabor…

Maģistra darbā “Ārtelpas video aktivitātes kā iekļaujošs mācību līdzeklis svešvalodu apguvē pusaudžiem” tiek pētīta svešvalodas apguves vēsture un patreizējās tendences, kā arī ārtelpas aktivitātes kā svešvalodas apguvi veicinošs mācību līdzeklis nodarbībās pusaudžiem. Datu ieguvei par ārtelpas aktivitāšu laikā iegūtajiem rezultātiem pētījumā tiek izmantots formatīvais skolotāja vērtējums un skolēna pašvērtējums. Pētījuma mērķis ir atklāt saistības starp ārtelpas video aktivitāšu sniegtajiem svešvalodas apguves rezultātiem un skolēnu pašvērtējumu un skolotāja vērtējumu. Datu analīze parāda, ka skolēnu un skolotāju vērtējumos pastāv konsekvence. Tiek pierādīts, ka ārtelpas video aktivitātes …
