ABSLM: A Synthesize Of Modern Strategic Management Theories For The Sublime Classroom Management Practices- A Case Study In Kerala.

Abstract

This study examines the evidence for the effectiveness of a new pedagogical approach, ‘Activity Based Strategic Learning Management (ABSLM).’  It synthesizes strategic management theories to classroom management practices to enhance teaching-learning effectiveness. The study suggests ABSLM, as a comprehensive learning method that significantly increases student engagement, efficiency, and competence, rather than reducing verbal exercise and over-effort by teachers dealing with problem/practical exercise-oriented courses such as accounting, taxation, quantitative techniques, numerical skills etc. ABSLM has been successfully tested among 300 Bachelor of Commerce (B. Com) students from six undergraduate colleges in Kerala. The study's design is purely observational and interventional and the findings are based on the researcher’s observational schedule. The study also tries to put forth a standard methodological model for implementing ABSLM in classrooms.
