1. The Interface of New Technology in Management Education

Digitization of education has given a wide scope for management education to revolutionize pedagogical approaches leading to efficacy and effectiveness of the delivery process. Adaption of technology in educational process through simulation, gamification, visualization etc. has enhanced the scope of learning.

Subtopics

2. Learning Methods and In-class Room Behavior of Students

Classroom management is related to teachers’ actions aimed to establish the stimulative learning environment. As stated by Martin and Baldwin, teachers’ classroom management styles can be distinguished along three dimensions: interventionist, non-interventionist and interactionist. In the classroom, the behavior of students is dependent upon the learning approaches adopted by the academicians.

Subtopics

• Research based learning, Business Intelligence (Use of on line Database and Business Intelligence)

• Thinking about management education: Conceptualizing and dreaming new learning spaces

• Cognitive-Affective-Kinesthetic dimensions of learning and classroom applications

3. The Social Aspect and Teaching Pedagogy of Management Education

Understanding the connection between sociality of learning, emotional learning and classroom management is an essential component in teaching. A shift in paradigm from the teacher-centered to learner-centered education is necessary. Student motivation could be enhanced with newer methods of the student-teacher relationship, peer learning, participation in curriculum, appreciative inquiry, group work etc. Many thinkers in education such as Vigotsky suggest that we need to give much more attention to learning as a social process rather than simply treat it merely as a matter of individual effort.

Subtopics

• Social aspects leading to emotion, behavior, attitude etc. in management education

• Learning through consultation (student-teacher, peer-to-peer etc.)

• New ways of student-teacher engagement

• Group and peer learning processes

4. Institutional and Regulatory Issues

World over there have been numerous efforts at national and international levels to bring about changes in tertiary education. For instance, in India, there have been numerous Commissions suggesting grand strategic changes in higher education. We are unsure how much impact these have made. The system is too complex for one grand strategy to work. There are numerous possibilities. For instance, higher education accreditation in many countries is based on self-regulation as a basis for it.

• International Quality Frameworks

• Self-regulation for the creation of quality management education

• Governance

• Leadership in Knowledge organizations including the academy.

• Intervention of regulatory agencies in management education

• National and International accreditation system and their impact
