Integrating In-Class Learning with Out-Of-Classroom Experiences through a Managerial Competency Development Framework

Resumen

This paper provides a framework for meaningfully combining in-class learning with structured out-of-classroom experiences. The proposed integration can easily be achieved by grounding business curricula in the development of managerial competencies. Managerial competencies, behavioral in nature, lend themselves naturally to out-of-classroom activities. Chronicled in this paper is the creation of a managerial competency development model and its implementation, which required the coordination of student activities both inside and outside the classroom.
