New Forms of Higher Education
Keywords:
Traditional Institution, Innovative Institution, Organizational Learning Contract and Learning Outcome.Abstract
The present study is exploratory in nature. In order to examine the forms of higher education organizations two organizations – a traditional and an innovative institution - have been studied. Data were collected on organizational learning contract and the student recall of learning outcomes. The study has revealed that the innovative institution is dominant than the traditional one although both have positive scores on learning outcomes. The organizational learning contract enables an organization and the client to mutually commit for better inputs and learning. There is, however, a need for self designing system to strengthen basic contract.Downloads
