Students as Active Participants in Curriculum Design: Exploratory Implications for Career Path Choices

The purpose of this paper is to explore whether students´ participation in curriculum design influences their career path choices (Bleakley & Brennan, 2011). In higher education student as active participants in curriculum design is an on-going debate. Some researchers have called for greater student’s participation in the design of the curriculum (Baxter Magolda, 2009; Bovril et al., 2009; Butera, Gomes & Harris, et al., 2013). Others argue that there are potential challenges and suggest further research in this field (Reynolds et al., 2004; McLeod, 2011). Despite the large amount of research on the subject, there is limited research that has explored whether Business Management students participation in curriculum design influences their career path choices.
