Research-Led Teaching

This course takes on an innovative hybrid delivery approach where students will engage in learning through materials available on Wattle and live seminars (combination of both Lecture and Tutorial). This course draws on and teaches models and frameworks based on empirical research   in management theory and organisational behaviour and as such, takes an evidence-based approach to management. The assessments in the course requires students to engage in analytic and critical thinking and the application of the models and frameworks to observational data.

Further, students will be provided with the opportunity to develop research literacy through the use of examples and discussion of research design and methodology relevant to the discipline.

The course convener has a practical experience in all topics covered in the course and will incorporate discussion of this experience into the seminars, which include tutorial activities that will also be guided by research findings in the discipline and positively allow students to experience managerial training as well.
