Pedagogic Excellence in Massified Higher Education: Strategies for Inclusive Business Teaching in Thai Universities
Abstract
Background and Aim: The rapid expansion of higher education, known as massification, has greatly increased student diversity in Thai universities, particularly in business schools. This increase presents new challenges for educators striving to maintain pedagogic excellence while addressing diverse student needs. The study aims to explore effective strategies for inclusive teaching that can enhance student engagement and improve learning outcomes in massified business education contexts in Thai universities.
Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify key inclusive pedagogical practices suitable for diverse business classrooms. The effectiveness of these strategies was analyzed based on their ability to promote inclusivity and student engagement in higher education.
Results: The review identified several effective strategies, including active learning, context-mediated pedagogy, and adaptive teaching methods. These approaches were found to enhance student participation and learning outcomes in diverse classrooms. Achieving pedagogic excellence in massified higher education requires adopting inclusive teaching methods that cater to the diverse needs of students. By implementing these strategies, Thai universities can improve the quality of business education and ensure that students are well-prepared to succeed in a globalized world.
Conclusion: Pedagogical excellence in massified higher education requires the adoption of inclusive teaching practices that cater to the diverse needs of students. Implementing these strategies can improve the quality of education in Thai universities and support student success in a globalized world.
