MBA STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF EFFECTIVE TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND INSTRUCTOR CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate MBA students' attitudes about how teaching methodologies and instructor characteristics affect their learning. The data was collected from MBA students of a medium‐sized university in North Carolina. The results suggest that the participants overwhelmingly support the use of real world examples in class, followed by open classroom discussion, as the approaches that most positively influence their learning. The participants also reveal that instructors' most important characteristics that may help their learning include the following in the order of importance: communication skills, knowledge of the subject matter, overall attitudes, fairness, and general personality.
