Researchers have documented a persistent research-practice gap, the gap between what management scholars “know” based on research and what managers “do” in practice. Management educators play an important role in narrowing this gap by sharing evidence-based content (scientific principles and research evidence related to specific management topics) with managers and helping managers develop the skills to incorporate this content into their practice. This PDW begins with an overview of adult learning principles that can inform the design of educational experiences for managers so they are better able to link academic material to their day-to-day practice. Few management professors receive formal training on how to teach and even fewer learn about adult learning principles that are essential to effectively teaching managers. This PDW uses a “tell and show” format to demonstrate teaching tools that incorporate adult learning principles into management education. The panelists will deliver a series of brief presentations “telling” the audience about their tools. Then the panelists will host tables “showing” small groups how they use their tools. Audience members will have opportunities to ask questions and rotate across tables during the session. The facilitator will lead a full group discussion and conclude the session by summarizing how participants can use adult learning principles to develop their own instructional tools.
