Abstract
Educational escape rooms are beneficial for student learning as it relates to critical thinking, decision making under time constraints and practical exploration of real-life work scenarios. This type of learning experience is beneficial across many disciplines with emphasis for healthcare management due to the dynamic nature and common pressures of professional healthcare. The following paper contributes to existing literature by presenting an educational escape room designed as a pedagogical innovation for teaching healthcare management. Future research and future assessment directives are discussed.
Abstract
The authors’ aim was to present a practical decision-making framework for decision makers (DMs) to use in evaluating interdisciplinary strategic approaches to degree program development. A framework based on ordinal game theory was applied using a recent decision to create an interdisciplinary business analytics program at a small, public university. The optimal Nash, in which each decision maker receives the most desirable outcome, was determined. The proposed methodological framework can be used for the design, evaluation, and postcommitment support of any interdisciplinary degree program.
