摘要:This article explores in an interdisciplinary manner the way concepts are learned or internalized,depending on the varying means of transmission, as well as on the sequencing in which the information istransmitted. In this sense, we build on the constructivist methodology framework in assessing conceptacquisition in academic disciplines, at an advanced level. We also present the evolution of certainnegotiation techniques, from traditional setting, to less predictable ones. This assessment is compared to aspecific Pop Culture case study in which we find an expressive representation of negotiation techniques.Our methodology employs both focus groups and experimental design to test the relative positioning oftheoretical concept acquisition (TCA) as opposed to expressive concept-acquisition (ECA). Our findingssuggest that while expressive concept acquisition (ECA) via popular culture representations enhances thestudents understanding of negotiation techniques, this can only happen in circumstances in which atheoretical concept acquisition (TCA) is pre-existent
