The study incorporates a clear split-sample design using two equivalent, randomly created groups. One group participates in a classroom experiment designed to illustrate the concept of the Phillips Curve, while the other participated in a traditional non-experimental lesson. The experiment is implemented under a strict protocol, while results evaluation is based on the comparison of post-experiment academic performance, which guarantees full anonymity and privacy of decisions. This design analyzes the impact of the classroom experiment between the two groups. Students who participated in the Phillips Curve experiment demonstrated superior academic performance, thus confirming that innovative management tools are conducive to superior academic performance. Educators should consider this type of pedagogical tool as an integral part of their teaching method. The clear design and robust findings of this article confirm the role of innovative management education on academic performance.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN Este artículo analiza el impacto de la metodología experimental, como herramienta de innovación, en la adquisición de conocimientos teóricos por parte de estudiantes de gestión empresarial. El estudio incorpora un diseño sencillo, dividiendo la muestra de estudio en dos grupos aleatorios. Un grupo participa en un experimento en el aula diseñado para ilustrar el concepto de la curva de Phillips, mientras que el otro participa en una lección tradicional. El experimento se implementa bajo un protocolo experimental estricto, y se evalúa comparando el rendimiento académico entre los dos tipos de grupos, garantizando el anonimato total y la privacidad de las decisiones. Este diseño analiza el impacto del experimento en el aula entre los dos grupos. Los estudiantes que participan en el experimento de la curva de Phillips muestran un rendimiento académico superior comparados con aquellos estudiantes que siguen el método tradicional. Considerando las mejoras en el rendimiento académico alcanzadas bajo la condición experimental, los resultados están altamente correlacionados con la gestión innovadora de la educación. Los profesores y gestores públicos deben considerar esta herramienta pedagógica como una herramienta obligatoria a la hora de educar en gestión empresarial. Los resultados del estudio pueden aplicarse de manera sencilla dentro de las organizaciones. Este artículo presenta un diseño claro y un conjunto sólido de resultados, mostrando cómo las formas de proceder en la educación gerencial afectan el rendimiento de manera diferente.]]></p></abstract>
