This work aims to investigate the effect of a holistic approach to teaching on both the educator‘s learning and teaching styles and on student performance.

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the effect of a holistic approach to teaching on both the educator‘s learning and teaching styles and on student performance. To this end, an experimental holistic approach was adopted, L‘Ascolto®, which uses the Deming PDCA cycle for the design (Plan), management (Do), evaluation (Check) and improvement (Act) of teaching processes. The aim is to encourage educators to ―train‖ their flexibility in learning by following the Kolb Experiential Learning Cycle. The paper is presented as an original study aimed at empirically examining the effects of an experimental holistic approach (L‘Ascolto®) on the educator‘s experiential learning process in a university accounting course. On one hand, the results show positive student performance, while, on the other, the positive effects of the educator‘s experiential learning emerge, as evidenced by the different teaching styles adopted during the course (flexibility).
