Item type:Publication, Development of a framework to assess challenges to virtual education in an emergency remote teaching environment: A developing country student perspective—The case of Peru(MDPI, 2022-10-01)The COVID-19 pandemic forced most countries’ higher-education systems to shift to distance learning, which has been called either “Corona Teaching” or, more formally, “Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT).” Students were suddenly faced with a new class format delivery and the many challenges of virtual education. The present study aims to identify and measure the challenges in three stages: (1) a qualitative method approach was used to gather the opinions of 50 students that were then analyzed and coded to identify their perceived major challenges; (2) a survey was completed by 165 students to prioritize the relative importance of the previously identified challenges using the AHP as the weighting approach; (3) an assessment framework was developed, using statistical techniques to measure the extent of the challenges for specific stakeholders based on survey responses. The main challenges students face are inadequate physical facilities at home, difficulties with the learning platforms, and financial concerns. These results are applicable beyond the present research context. For the first time, an ERT assessment framework of the challenges was developed using composite indicators derived from students’ opinions and perspectives. This ERT framework allows for the exploration of a community of students’ vulnerability to the challenges within the context of an emergency remote environment. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Charting the evolutionary conceptual pathway of analytic network process research: A main path analysis(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2024-05-01)This study delves into the flow and structure of knowledge prevalent in Analytic Network Process (ANP) literature. It traces the evolutionary pathway of ANP research, spotlighting seminal works and unfolding the development of topics over time. Analysing 4583 ANP literature records from 1986 to 2022, this research utilizes two pivotal data sources: Web of Science (WoS) and Dimensions. This main path analysis (MPA) approach is coupled with techniques such as citation analysis, social network analysis, and centrality measures to identify most influential papers, as well as using a search path algorithm (SPC) to provide higher weights to papers that serve as bridges connecting different research paths rather than simply counting all citations equally. Key works emerged as focal points in both datasets, including notable contributions from Lee, Kheybari and Büyüközkan, with the Dimensions dataset uniquely highlighting Saaty as the initial conceptual knowledge source of the ANP. The centrality measures unearthed persistent bridge roles undertaken by key contributors such as Saaty and Sarkis over different time periods. Furthermore, a detailed topic analysis discerned eight distinctive thematic clusters among the two data sources: analytical network process, network process, fuzzy analytic, evaluation laboratory, supply chain, quality function, hierarchy process, and information systems. These clusters emerged, providing a comprehensive map of ANP topics and their evolution. The study offers a comprehensive framework for scholars to navigate the expansive domain of ANP research. Identifying pivotal works and emergent themes provides direction for future research endeavours. It allows practitioners to gain invaluable insights into the foundational and transformative works in the ANP realm, enhancing their understanding and application of the methodology. This paper proposes of a dual methodological strategy: First, by using traditional academic data sources (WoS) along with a more encompassing Dimensions database; and second, by using a SPC algorithm to weight MPA papers based on their connecting role among different research paths. At the discipline level, this study carves out a novel vantage point in understanding the ANP research landscape. It offers an integrated portrayal of the field's conceptual evolution, identifying specific cluster topics as an indispensable resource for scholars, practitioners, and students. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Analytic Network Process in Economics, Finance and Management: Contingency Factors, Current Trends and Further Research(Elsevier BV, 2023-09-04)This study explores the recent use of the Analytic Network Process (ANP) in the decision process in the areas of economics, finance and management to identify common contingency factors, current trends, representative studies and directions for further research applications in the target areas. A systematic literature review of 434 ANP studies for a 10-year period (2012–2021) within the Scopus database was conducted using the keyword “Analytic Network Process” in articles indexed in the following two categories: (1) Business, Management and Accounting, and (2) Economics, Econometrics and Finance. Further analysis using a citation-based graph and contingency analysis approaches was performed to identify usage trends. Our findings indicate that the most common ANP applications are with sustainable supply chain management and business evaluation frameworks. There is also a trend of applications engaging stakeholders in the decision-making process. Finally, it was found that the ANP is most commonly used as part of a multicriteria multi-method (a method followed by others) or integrated decision-making (hybridization of methods) approach rather than alone. The most common use (>80%) of the ANP is as part of a multi-method or integrated method with other tools such as DEMATEL, which suggests these approaches, in particular integrated ones (>50%), are becoming the preferred method of analysis to simplify the ANP process. From a practical point of view, it was found that the ANP is particularly utilized in sustainable projects to facilitate the participation of various stakeholders. This is the first focused review of the use of the ANP in the areas of economics, finance and management with an emphasis on its application as well as its contingent factors. Also, representative studies have been highlighted in each area. Traditional reviews have not delved deeply into the areas and contingent factors that this study explores. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Assessment of challenges in virtual instruction quality and its relationship to learning outcomes and student satisfaction(Springer Science+Business Media, 2026-12-01)This study examines whether the Framework to Assess Challenges in Virtual Education (FACVE), C1 dimension (challenges to virtual education quality), covering teaching quality, interaction, and assessment challenges, is associated with students' perceived learning outcomes and satisfaction. Self-reported survey data were collected from graduate business students at one of Peru's top universities between September 17, 2021, and February 6, 2022, following an initial emergency transition and during a stable term in which courses were delivered through institutionally standardized online modalities. Using PLS-SEM, FACVE-C1 was modeled as a higher-order construct, and its relationships with students' perceived learning outcomes (LO) and student satisfaction (SS) were estimated. Virtual instruction quality challenges were negatively related to perceived learning (β = −0.470; R² = 0.221) and to student satisfaction (β = −0.116), while perceived learning was strongly related to student satisfaction (β = 0.821; R² = 0.777). Among the FACVE-C1 components, interaction challenges contributed most strongly, indicating that strengthening student–instructor and student–student interaction structures is a high-leverage target in online graduate business education. The findings provide empirical support for FACVE-C1 as a parsimonious diagnostic lens for identifying quality-related constraints that shape students' experience and perceived learning in planned virtual instruction contexts.1
