Learning methods has under gone many changes in last decade. Do you think continuous upgradation is required for the teachers to keep them updated with the modern learning methods?
Yes the continuous up gradation is the important part for teachers to enhance their knowledge.
Nowadays, Millennials prefer a broad spectrum of learning strategies as in the case of 90's strategies of teaching/learning. The concept of learner-style is more pronounced in this generation. They prefer learning materials that are delivered to cater to their visual, auditory and even kinesthetic needs.
They need to experience change in delivery formats to maintain interest. Their attention spans are shorter – they quickly move on to other forms of learning. Their ideal learning environment involves less lecture and more collaboration with peers. Group-based projects that emulate the work environment (authentic assessments) are ideal for these learners.
Relevance
Millennials are aces at “googling” and discovering information. They do not value a piece of information for its own sake, rather for its relevance to their lives. Trainers will find millennials engaged in hands-on or application-based case studies, where new knowledge is discovered and synthesized actively between group members.
