Development And Validation

The environmental impact produced by digital technologies is one of the fundamental contents to be developed by teachers of the 21st century. Different investigations raise the need to redesign education towards sustainable models and promote a critical look at digital technologies. The main objective of this manuscript is to design a valid, reliable and useful scale to measure self-perceived teacher digital competence regarding the eco-responsible use of technologies. The instrument has been designed based on a detailed analysis of the main frameworks for the development of digital competence in Europe: INTEF and DigCompEdu. A content validation process has been followed through the expert judgment method. Subsequently, its reliability and validity are estimated using structural equation modeling techniques. The results obtained guarantee the reliability and validity of the model. Therefore, the need to establish environmental teacher training plans and more awareness about the eco-responsible use of technologies is established.

Measuring Tool

The objective of this research is to analyze the ability of electrical engineering students to build robots based on  Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) which is analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through IBM SPSS and IBM SPSS Amos software. CTL is able to aid teachers to explain teaching materials with real situations and also able to motivate students by connecting the knowledge with the real application. This research applied the development research design with the product in the form of the robotics lesson plan as a supporting or measuring tool to assess the ability to make a robot for electrical engineering students. The developed of the robotic module is the research results and monitoring results of the researchers from the year 2009 to 2015. Afterward, seven (7) validators validated the final module. The validators consist of instructional experts, educational experts, engineering experts, and grammarians. In addition, the average validator assessment result is 3.34, which fall into either category. Value probability level is above 0.5 (value = 0,522) then it is concluded there is improvement between constructs.

The consumption of luxury goods is complex in its essence permeate interpretation failures. In this sense the objective of this study is to describe the development and validation of a tool for analyzing the real reasons behind the decision to consume luxury products. This quantitative, descriptive study was conducted in three capitals fields, where 385 consumers of luxury goods were interviewed. Its preparation was possible because of existing studies and national and international theory, constituted from the sequential use of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The final scale consisted of 35 questions that showed good internal consistency and factorial stability. Analyses indicated that the exclusivity factor, tradition and status are key elements for the consumption of luxury, and tradition presents itself as the most important aspect in the pursuit of pleasure. The contribution of this study is to provide a tool that brings understanding to the consumption of luxury, a process fraught with opportunities for various areas of the Brazilian economy.

Entrepreneurial Behavior

Entrepreneurial intention models are widely accepted in university contexts in developed countries; however, more robust studies in emerging economies are needed. With the aim of filling this gap, this work analyzes the influence of subjective norms, behavioral beliefs, attitudes, and entrepreneurial behavior on the entrepreneurial intention of college students. Structural equation modeling was implemented by means of a self-administered questionnaire that was answered by 636 undergraduate engineering students in Medellín, Colombia. According to the findings, both attitude and entrepreneurial behavior have a positive effect on entrepreneurial intention. Nevertheless, no evidence was found to confirm that subjective norms affected entrepreneurial intention, i.e., that other people’s opinions were important to individuals when they decided to start a new venture. By investigating the entrepreneurial intention of college students, better strategies can be adopted to promote venture creation among this population group, focusing efforts on the variables that presented the strongest relationships in the model proposed in this study.
