Learner Centred Approach for Global Leadership in Management Education

Abstract

Management education institutions world over are adopting learner centred approaches with a hope to enhance the effectiveness of teaching learning process and also ensure management education fulfils its role of creating leaders who are global players on a sustainable basis. However, the evidence supporting these is tangential. Even the proof illustrating improvement in student learning through use of these approaches is still questioned. Through exhaustive literature review and grounded theory approach this chapter investigates the learner centred approach - teaching nexus and reflects on the use of them to enhance student learning in this globalized knowledge society. The critical review of the learner centred approaches for better understanding to adopt appropriate strategies by management educators is also delved. This is hoped to enhance the value of management education which is vital in this turbulent world and pressures from knowledge driven economies.
