Investigating the Effectiveness of Agile Scrum Teaching in Engineering E-courses Based on Student Satisfaction
摘要
Agile Scrum has become a dominant project management methodology in engineering education, preparing students for demanding future professional environments. Teaching with Agile Scrum involves the integration of Scrum values, principles as well as iterative and collaborative processes into educational settings such as e-courses, to improve learning and bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. It is possible to estimate the effectiveness of Agile Scrum from a variety of perspectives including perceived learning outcomes, team performance, project success and student satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to examine student engineers’ perspectives on satisfaction within an e-course designed based on Agile Scrum teaching. The e-course was delivered to 61 undergraduate student engineers. The degree to which students adhered to Scrum principles, values and processes was reflected in their perceived satisfaction. Regression analysis results supported the hypothesis that students’ perceptions of Scrum adherence could predict their overall satisfaction with the Scrum process in e-learning settings, and consequently the effectiveness of Scrum. This study emphasizes the importance of investing in Scrum as a teaching methodology for engineering e-courses and contributes to agile education research, providing practical recommendations.
