Innovative teaching methods: The future of learning starts now!

Innovative teaching methods: The future of learning starts now!

On August 1, 2025, the seminar by Georg Stadtmann, an experienced economist, will be dedicated to a particularly explosive topic: rejection in entrepreneurship. Stadtmann is committed to teaching students how to turn rejection into valuable learning experiences. This is done through innovative teaching methods based on both creative approaches and practical experiences. A recent TikTok video of Stadtmann dancing has received over 120,000 likes and shows the increasing interest in his teaching methods.

The method has been consistently received positively by students. Student Roy Sand emphasizes that the seminar promotes understanding through practical action. It's not just about theoretical knowledge, but also about developing responsibility and presentation skills. Mika Rogowitz adds that the seminar is an example of the successful combination of creative teaching, personal development and courage.

Focus on creative teaching methods

The seminar tasks that Stadtmann sets his students are both challenging and creative. One of the tasks is to sell something that does not belong to the students without breaking the law. In this context, the student Herman Muradian achieved exceptional results. He sold the view from the observation tower in the Rauener Mountains for one euro each and sees this as a cultural bridge to break down prejudices. In addition to these creative sales campaigns, the program also includes publishing media articles; So Muradian placed an article about his hike in the Märkische Oderzeitung.

This approach reflects the trend to integrate innovative teaching methods in higher education. The Munich Business School publication by Patricia Kraft, Heiko Seif and Barbara Wolf examines the “Teaching through Entrepreneurship” (TtE) approach. The focus is on developing critical thinking, problem-solving skills and adaptability in students, regardless of field of study. The research emphasizes the crucial role of teachers in the learning process and analyzes the Locus of Control (LoC) theory as a key factor in student engagement and success.

The role of innovative teaching methods

Innovative teaching methods are essential today to actively involve students and take their needs into account. The shift from in-person instruction to online and hybrid learning has reinforced this need. A study shows that 57 percent of U.S. students used digital tools and 80 percent of schools purchased additional technology tools. Innovative methods such as interactive teaching, blended learning and project-based learning promote active learning and student engagement. These methods not only help develop critical thinking skills but also improve students' problem-solving skills.

The combination of creative teaching strategies and innovative approaches, as practiced in Stadtmann's seminar, is crucial for the education of tomorrow. Integrating entrepreneurship into curricula can promote modern education in rapidly changing fields.
