Intercambio de conocimientos en equipo: Enfoque de aprendizaje basado en juegos

Introducción. Se ha demostrado que las simulaciones de negocios basadas en juegos, que se han utilizado ampliamente en la enseñanza en los últimos años, ayudan a los estudiantes a desarrollar habilidades de trabajo en equipo y resolución de problemas.

Objetivo. El propósito del estudio es evaluar cómo la unidad del equipo y las actitudes de intercambio de conocimientos se relacionan con el clima organizacional y las intenciones de compartir conocimientos.

Metodología, métodos y procesos de investigación. Utilizando un entorno de aprendizaje basado en juegos, los autores examinaron las actitudes e intenciones de intercambio de conocimientos de los estudiantes. Como parte del estudio, se dirigieron cuestionarios a 202 estudiantes de facultades de negocios en la ciudad de Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Se utilizó la estimación Bootstrap para probar todas las hipótesis mediante el modelado de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM).

Resultados. Los resultados del estudio mostraron que: 1) el clima organizacional tuvo un efecto positivo en la unidad del equipo, así como en las actitudes hacia el intercambio de conocimientos, lo que influyó positivamente en las intenciones de compartir conocimientos; 2) el clima organizacional se asoció positivamente con las actitudes y las intenciones de compartir conocimientos; 3) la unidad del equipo se asoció positivamente con las actitudes y las intenciones de compartir conocimientos; 4) Existe una relación significativa entre el clima organizacional y las intenciones de compartir conocimientos a través de la mediación de la unidad del equipo y las actitudes de intercambio de conocimientos.

Novedad científica. El estudio ayuda a explorar las relaciones entre las cuatro variables mencionadas anteriormente.

Significado práctico. Los resultados del estudio sugieren que los profesores deberían establecer estándares de evaluación y animar a los estudiantes a expresar sus opiniones. Además, es fundamental crear un buen ambiente y aumentar la unidad en el aula para desarrollar actitudes positivas hacia el intercambio de conocimientos y las intenciones de los estudiantes de utilizar estas habilidades.
