Teaching Management Graduate: Balancing Learning Style and Teaching Methodology with Flipped Classroom

Abstract

Traditional lecture style of teaching is the most common and popular in higher education courses across the world even in 21st century. Students and teachers both are familiar with the traditional lecture method and are generally comfortable with this syle. In the technology driven knowledge economy, innovative learning approaches are being introduced. This has evolved new system of teaching and learning in education such as flipped classroom system where the pre learning materials like online audio, video and readings are shared in advance. Students prepare themselves using these materials prior to coming to the class thus in the class time, they can participate in discussions, hands on application, problem solving through games and other engaging and collaborating activities. In this type of setup, the role of the teacher/ instructor changes from deliverer of contents to guiding students through a series of engaging and experiential-learning activities. During the course, students learn how to find answers for questions, they participate in group learning, problem solving thus develop analytical skills. The present research attempts to understand the student's perspective regarding flipped classrooms. Students being an important stakeholder, this research considers their perspections as the crucial element. This study is conducted amongst students studying in management colleges located in the National Capital Region (NCR) with a sample size of 211 respondents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
