Management Teaching Review, v6 n3 p237-250 Sep 2021
Theoretical and empirical literature is often assigned in undergraduate and graduate management education. Even though the ability to read, interpret, and evaluate scholarly articles is an important skill for students and practitioners, comprehending and applying the information contained in scholarly articles can be challenging for a variety of reasons. To help undergraduate and graduate students develop greater academic literacy, we developed an exercise where students work first independently and then collaboratively to extract information from a journal article and translate findings into understandable, evidence-based practice that can be applied in organizations. We provide resources for instructors who wish to use this method in face-to-face or online classes.
