Practical Evaluation of an Innovative ERP Teaching Concept

Thesis (BA)

Advisor(s): Nathalie Wolf

Motivation

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are essential in modern business environments, and early exposure during education is highly beneficial for students. However, ERP education often faces challenges: students tend to follow case study instructions mechanically without fully understanding the underlying business logic. A previous thesis developed an innovative teaching concept to address these issues, including a method catalog of instructional strategies and a role-based learning scenario. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate this concept in practice, assessing its effectiveness in improving learner engagement, motivation, and understanding in ERP education.

Research Objectives

• Design and execution of an evaluation study for the existing teaching concept
• Measurement of learning outcomes and student motivation
• Analysis of usability and acceptance among lecturers and students

Tasks

• Development of an evaluation framework and metrics
• Practical implementation of the teaching concept in a real or classroom setting
• Collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data
• Discussion of findings and recommendations for improvement

Requirements

• Interest in ERP systems, education, and empirical research
• Above-average grades or other qualifications
• Structured, careful, and self-motivated work style
• High degree of autonomy and responsibility
