Unlocking the “AH-HA Moment” in Management Education: Research-based course design
What is the true purpose of management education? Is it: to teach theories, formulas, and methods of analysis, to develop students’ ways of thinking, or to prepare leaders for unforeseeable challenges in an unknown future? While all three are crucial, the second and third goals often present the greatest challenges—and opportunities. By leveraging findings and methodologies from higher education research, we can better address these objectives in management education. In this seminar, participants will: Reflect on their teaching approaches using a quick self-assessment quiz (scoring is private). Explore how research-based strategies can transform course design. Discuss the implications of teaching approaches for fostering critical thinking and leadership skills. Join us to discover practical ways to inspire “AH-HA moments” in every class!
