Redefining Management Education: Practical Strategies for Effective Learning

Metacognition, learner autonomy, and Daniel Pink’s motivation theory (autonomy, mastery, purpose) enhance learning by fostering creativity, authenticity, and personal fulfillment. Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) emphasizes tasks learners can achieve with guidance, supported by scaffolding, which involves structured support from more knowledgeable individuals. Scaffolding progresses in group work, allowing collective problem-solving. The Intermental Development Zone (IDZ) focuses on effective communication and shared knowledge through collaborative activities. Applying these concepts, management educators can promote a dynamic, self-sufficient learning environment, optimizing individual and group learning outcomes.
