Implementing learner-centric approaches in high-density classrooms: A TEAMS-aligned hybrid model for management education
Learner-Centric Approaches (LCAs) are increasingly used in higher education to enhance engagement, critical thinking, and deeper learning. This chapter examines LCAs in a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program at a large institution with class sizes of 80 students. To address challenges in personalized education, the program employs a hybrid model: large lectures for theory and smaller tutorial groups of 40 students for interactive LCAs. This approach balances personalized learning with logistical demands. The chapter evaluates the model's effectiveness through student outcomes, faculty adaptability, and engagement, while examining scalability and alignment with the TEAMS framework-Transparency, Empowerment, Attainability, Mentorship, and Sustainability. It offers practical insights for implementing scalable, learner-focused strategies in high-density classrooms. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
