An Exposition of Guilford's SI Model as a Means of Diagnosing and Generating Pedagogical Strategies in Collegiate Business Education

Abstract

Of those few occasions where ABSEL thinking has been guided by a learning/teaching model, Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive learning objectives has been exclusively adopted. While Bloom's model is highly regarded, it has problems. Also, numerous other such models exist in the education literature. Guilford's Structure of Intellect model is chosen as appropriate to college-level business education. The model is described in detail. It is used to diagnose various approaches and generate alternative teaching strategies.
