Diversity of Generations in the classroom vs. Diversity of teaching strategies
The majority of my class seems to be from Gen. Y and one student may be from Gen. X, with this new information I better understand my student. How ever, teaching strateies may have to very due to diversity of generations. what learning style's would you suggest?
I think of generational differences in the classroom as an aspect of adult learning that influences individual learning styles. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to accommodate the learning preferences of all generations. Just as lectures work better for auditory learners than kinesthetic learners, and imaginative activities engage right-brain learners more so than their “just the facts, ma’am” counterparts, some approaches work really well for learners from one generation but aren’t well received by those from other generations. The key is to include a diversity of methods, modalities, and techniques in order to address a diversity of preferences.
