Micro Lessons Approach in Management Education to Develop Graduate Attributes

Abstract

Management education has always relied on applied and learner-centered approaches to ensure that the right graduate attributes are acquired and the students are industry-ready when they graduate. The various teaching methods include case studies, role play, scenario building, and presentations that have focused on a student-centered approach to meet the learning objectives but may not have been necessary for the form of micro-lessons. Hence, adopting a qualitative approach, the aim of this chapter is to delve into the current scenario of teaching practices in management education and deliberate on the micro lessons approach in management education to develop graduate attributes. It aims at optimizing micro-lessons practice in management education programs. It suggests strategies that could assist management students to become better critical thinkers and problem solvers rather than mere rote decision makers by developing proper graduate attributes which are the imperative competencies to solve real-world complex problems.
