The Impact of Team-Based Learning and Flipped Classrooms on Students’ Employment in Human Resource Management

In light of the rapidly expanding global employment marketplace, the work of higher education in augmenting students' working capabilities has never been more relevant. To address this problem, the question of how best to increase the employability of students through novel teaching methods has come to represent an overarching issue for educational scholarship. Interdisciplinary approaches to pedagogy have recently taken center stage. Team-based learning (TBL) and the flipped classroom (FC) are two new learning systems that have been extremely successful in a number of fields, especially business-related studies such as human resource management (HRM). This study explores how TBL and FC, by means of an interdisciplinary teaching method, enhance students' key professional competencies and examines their effects on employability. Through a questionnaire survey, this study explores the impact of the two teaching modes on students' teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills in HRM education. The findings indicate that TBL significantly positively affects students' key professional competencies, particularly teamwork and communication. In the meantime, FC facilitates learning outcomes and interest by supporting independent learning and classroom engagement. Moreover, the study revealed that the course content of HRM courses is well aligned with the demands of the market and that there exists a causal relationship between course content application in the workplace and the employability of students.
