Real Estate Pedagogy- Towards A Globalisation of Institutional Isomorphism of Real Estate Curriculum
Folake Ganiyat Adeleke
ABSTRACT:
The pedagogy adopted in the teaching of real estate dictates the effectiveness of the transmission of knowledge to the students, and the development of their intellectual capacities, without neglecting the fostering of their skills and character traits. There are diverse opinions on what should constitute estate management pedagogy, such that knowledge and skills are adequately imparted to students in this academic discipline, through a robust curriculum, within the context of global institutional isomorphism. Emerging from the reviewed literature, there are inconsistencies in the body of knowledge, in relation to what is germane and pertinent in the structuring of the real estate curriculum. The study is anchored on the theory of institutional isomorphism. Based on integrative-narrative approach, this paper employed a synthesis matrix to review, and synthesise relevant literature on the structure of real estate curriculum. Issues that were raised include the conceptualisation of real estate pedagogy as it relates to institutional isomorphism relative to real estate curricula, and analyses and synthesis of literature. The paper posits that to promote an effective real estate pedagogy, geared towards inculcating employable skills and improving the quality of education of real estate graduates, there must be a balance in the entrenchment of the normative, mimetic, and coercive pressures in curriculum development. Additionally, real estate pedagogy demands a level of mimetic isomorphism of successful institutions, as a prelude of globalisation of the practice.
