Teaching Style-learning Style Fit Implications for International Joint Degree Programs

Hayward P. Andres, North Carolina A&T State University

ABSTRACT
The ever growing global economy has not only given rise to increased international trade and business partnerships, but also partnerships among institutions of higher learning through implementation of international joint degrees. These international degree program collaborations require cross-cultural exchanges among faculty and students. In addition, teaching style and learning style may differ across different cultures. Most of the recent studies examining both learning style and teaching style in international contexts were limited to comparative analysis along with little or no correlation or causal analysis. This study attempts to advance this research stream by examining the role in culture in determining what aspects of international joint degree programs are salient to faculty teaching style and student learning style.
