Abstract
In light of the rapidly expanding global employment marketplace, the work of higher education in augmenting students' working capabilities has never been so relevant. To tackle this problem, the question of how best to enhance the employability of students through novel teaching methods has come to represent an overarching issue for educational scholarship. Interdisciplinary approaches to pedagogy have taken center stage recently. Team-Based Learning (TBL) and Flipped Classroom (FC) are two new learning systems that have been extremely successful in a number of fields, especially business-related studies like Human Resource Management (HRM).
This study tries to explore how TBL and FC, by means of an interdisciplinarity teaching method, enhance students' key professional competencies and examine 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 finds the course content of HRM courses is well aligned with the demands of the market, and there exists a causal relationship between course content application at the workplace and employability of the students. Though most students are satisfied with career service, they still exhibit strong demand for greater support regarding career guidance, internship placement, and linkages with industries.
