Business School Pedagogy Consequences
XAT 2010 · Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning · Medium · Critical Reasoning
Widespread use of lectures in class-rooms in business schools leads to severe negative consequences. The first consequence is theoretically knowledgeable graduates who cannot apply theory to solve real world problems. The more serious consequence is that lectures encourage a feeling of total omniscience among them which persists for quite some time after graduating. This feeling prevents them from learning from their subordinates and colleagues.
Which of the following can best help to reduce these negative consequences among the students in a business school?
- A.
Use illustrations of real life problems in classrooms.
- B.
Send the students to find business problems so that it can be discussed in classrooms.
- C.
Business education to be given to students, who have work experience.
- D.
Modify the pedagogy to have knowledge of theory and application in parallel.
- E.
Removing theoretical inputs from the curriculum altogether; only practical problems to be discussed in class rooms.
D
Explanation
To overcome both the inability to apply theory and the false sense of omniscience caused by purely lecture-based theoretical learning, teaching theory and application side-by-side (in parallel) is the most balanced solution.
