Does cultural economics affect country’s competitiveness?

Abstract

Throughout the decades, traditional teaching and learning approaches have predominantly dominated the world of education through the mode of passive learning (Prashanti Eachempati; Kiran Kumar KS; Abdul Rashid Hj Ismail,2017). However, based on previous studies conducted by researchers in the area of education found that this teaching approach insignificantly reduces students’ learning interest in the classroom which results in poor academic achievement (Farhan Uddin Raja and Najmonnisa,2018). Thus, with the evolution of research in the field of education,numerous teaching and learning methods have been discovered to have an impact towards students academic achievement and one of the key area in the field of education is the field of languages where previous studies have indicated that active learning such as collaborative learning in the classroom does significantly impact and promotes high academic achievement among students (Prashanti Eachempati; Kiran Kumar KS; Abdul Rashid Hj Ismail,2017). One of these instances could be found in the ESL reading classroom through a collaborative learning technique called ‘jigsaw learning’.
