随着21世纪知识经济时代快速发展,教育体制迎来发展机遇的同时,也面临着严

峻的挑战。人才的教育培养,不但要适应不断变化的外界环境,还要能培养良好的学习

能动力和科学的学习方法,并不断学习和创新知识。然而,现阶段商科教育普遍缺乏与

外部环境的有效衔接,难以帮助学生解决现实世界的复杂问题。很多学者已经意识到心

智模式在教学中的重要性,但在商科教育方面,很少有研究将心智模式作为教师教学或

学生学习的结果做进一步讨论,也很少有研究分析心智模式改变这一认知过程。

本文从商科教育实际出发,在MBA学生访谈资料的基础上,基于扎根理论进行逐级

译码,探究访谈所形成概念之间的深层次逻辑关系,分析得出MBA学生心智模式的发展

阶段、各阶段改变的动态过程及其影响因素:(1) MBA学生心智模式有“无知状态”、

“接受状态”和“相信状态”三个认知状态;(2)三个认知状态全面概括了 MBA学生

对新事物认知逐步从低级至高级的过程;(3)推动各认知状态的影响因素有好奇心、

权威推荐、正面事物刺激、验证理论、系统运用、重复固化等。

同时,针对商科教育在心智模式上的研究和运用,从MBA教育者和学生两个角度提

出了持续完善MBA教学内容及手段和改进学习方法的具体建议。

scholars have realized the important role that mental model played in teaching, but in business

education there is neither further research of taking mental model as teaching and learning's

consequence nor analysis on the cognitive process of mental model changing.

interviews, using a grounded theory approach with progressive decode to research the

deep-seated logistic relations among the concepts issued from interviews, obtained MBA

students' mental model developmental stages、dynamic process for each stages and related

influencing factors by analyzing: (l)MBA students5 mental model has three cognitive

states-ignorance receiving and believing;(2) these states generalized MBA students'

cognitive process in new things from the lower level to the upper;(3)Curiosities,Verification

theory,System utilization, Repeating consolidation are the influencing factors which

promoted above cognitive states.

Meanwhile, for business education researching and utilization of mental model,this

paper proposed concrete methods and suggestions about how to continuously improve MBA

education contents and learning methods from the perspectives of MBA educators and

students.
