Supporting data for “Effects of Incorporating Concept Mapping into Computer Simulation-Based Learning with a Complex Economic System”

The files present supporting data for “Effects of Incorporating Concept Mapping into Computer Simulation-Based Learning with a Complex Economic System”, including a description of test questions in the field of economics education and a research dataset of students' scores. In the research dataset (excel file), each test question was labeled in accordance with the question title number listed in the description of pre- and post-study knowledge test questions of economics education (text file).

The data was collected after the author received ethical approval from the Human Research Ethics Committee of The University of Hong Kong. The Ethics Approval HREC’s Reference Number is EA210112. 

In this study, ninety-five Year-3 undergraduate students majoring in economics and management from a public university in southern China were recruited as participants. 

The students were from two parallel classes. The two classes were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group. One class of 51 students was assigned to the control group, and another class of 44 students was assigned to the experimental group.

All participants signed a consent form before participating in this study.

All the students completed the entire learning program.

Last, all the data were redacted and anonymized before submission.

本数据集所包含的文件支持“将概念图融入复杂经济系统计算机模拟学习中的影响”研究，其中涵盖了经济学教育领域测试题目的描述以及学生成绩的研究数据集。在研究数据集（Excel文件）中，每个测试题目均按照描述中列出的经济学教育前测和后测知识测试题目标题编号进行标注。

数据收集于作者获得香港大学人文学术伦理委员会的伦理批准之后。伦理批准号（HREC）为EA210112。

在本研究中，招募了来自中国南方一所公立大学经济与管理专业的95名三年级本科生作为参与者。

这些学生来自两个平行班级。两个班级被随机分配到实验组或对照组。51名学生组成的一组被分配到对照组，而另一组44名学生则被分配到实验组。

所有参与者均在参与本研究前签署了同意书。

所有学生均完成了整个学习课程。

最后，在提交之前，所有数据均进行了编辑并匿名化处理。
