The author applied teaching learning strategies, involving 'metacognition', or reflective activity. Graduate
courses were offered in the managerial psychology at HELP University in Malaysia and at Maharishi University of
Management (MUM) accredited in the United States of America by the Higher Learning Commission and The
International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education which is recognized by the Council on Higher Education
Accreditation (CHEA). MUM also offers an action learning corporate MBA program for managers at Neotel, a
telecommunications corporation in South Africa. All courses were taught in a blocks, or modules, in varied formats
amongst the three venues, ranging from two to six weeks in duration but shared the commonalty of one subject
matter module at a time. Especially remarkable was the steep learning curve in which students attained reflective
and higher order thinking in the relatively short 6 week period of time. Active discussion on the Moodle e-learning
platform was found to catalyze the development of insightful thinking. Learning was encultured and encouraged as
‘Self exploration’ with a ‘connectedness to community and cosmos’ with the inclusion of affect. Emotional
intelligence targeted ‘values of the heart’ i.e., refined feeling levels in order to enculture not just higher order
thinking but also practical wisdom.
