Research Areas
The objective of my research is to assess the behavioral aspects of the newer pedagogies within the business curriculum. The purpose of this assessment is to advise business faculty regarding potential student behavioral responses to these newer pedagogies. This is particularly important so that the business instructor can take steps to anticipate and mitigate adverse responses on the part of some students which would otherwise limit the effectiveness of the newer pedagogies in achieving their stated goals. Thus, this research endeavors to facilitate the introduction of newer pedagogies and increase their effectiveness by providing business faculty with a better understanding opf the behavioral aspects of the newer pedagogies.
