Millennial has different way of thinking, however character education is something that we, as the educators must not put this issue aside. Appreciate your feedback.
Millennials do have other characteristics of thinking: information surfing, clip thinking, digital amnesia, functional illiteracy. But the difficulty is that thinking should be developed from a young age. In the classroom for tertiary level, we have to deal with these shortcomings. I see a way out in the performance of tasks aimed at the development of thinking: memorizing definitions, logical tasks, data analysis, analysis of situations, building models et.
I do agree with your opinion. It is not easy to handle these shortcoming, but like it or not we have to face it. Thanks for your suggestions. However, may be if you can add a bit how to keep them engage in the classroom? Seemingly a lot more easier to get them engage with online activities rather than face to face activities.
It has assumed greater significance as our education today is far removed from reality and its cultural roots. The humanizing aspect of our ancient education is conspicuous by its absence today. In order to save our society from disaster, we have to apply ourselves seriously and provide an alternate model and such a model is feasible only when we moralize education.
It is desirable to combine traditional and innovative ways of learning. My experience is as follows: search for information on the Internet and scientific journal, then its analysis. Then perform actions depending on the content (technical or humanitarian): a simple retelling, abstracting, compilation, essay, drawing up a scheme. Next, we add the presentation of the electronic training, work in small groups, report, educational games...
Of course you need to take into account the interests of students, the nature of the study group. To correlate with the curriculum.
Use e-learning to increase motivation. And traditional methods for the development of the necessary qualities of thinking.
A detailed explanation of the meaning of the exercises is very important. And liveliness of presentation. Of course, this is a very brief description.
Thank you very much for your explanation. I think I get your point. I will try to adapt it with my environment. My weakness that I can see for me is, it is a bit difficult to balance the online and face to face activities in order to achieve the effectiveness and efficiency in learning. Thanks again for your valuable thoughts
