Item type:Publication, Retail Education on Fire: How Teaching Formats Influence Students' Transformative Learning(2019-08-09); ; Today’s complex and fast-paced retail landscape and the hardly application-oriented education challenge retail students to find a decent job and succeed in the tasks accompanied with it. Educational institutions struggle to make their courses more relevant for these real-life challenges. Experts argue that many students master technical skills but fall short of social skills, cannot think outside the box, and do not have eager to engage in lifelong learning. In light of the heated debate on how to bridge the gap between the experiences that students make in the classroom and real-life work experiences, we examine how innovative teaching formats may contribute to an application-oriented education in retailing. Specifically, we identify students’ level of transformative learning, their ability to critically reflect on their perceptions and to adapt their behavior accordingly, as a success factor of application-oriented education.Type:conference poster
