Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Say Hello to Your Incoming Class—They're Not Millennials Anymore Generation Z is rapidly replacing Millennials on college campuses. Those born from 1995 through 2010 have different motivations, learning styles, characteristics, skill sets, and social concerns than previous generations. Unlike Millennials, Generation Z students grew up in a recession and are under no illusions about their prospects for employment after college. While skeptical about the cost and value of higher education, they are also entrepreneurial, innovative, and independent learners concerned with effecting social change. Understanding Generation Z's mindset and goals is paramount to supporting, developing, and educating them through higher education. Generation Z Goes to College showcases findings from an in-depth study of over 1,100 Generation Z college students from 15 vastly different U.S. higher education institutions as well as additional studies from youth, market, and education research related to this generation. Authors Corey Seemiller and Meghan Grace provide interpretations, implications, and recommendations for program, process, and curriculum changes that will maximize the educational impact on Generation Z students. Generation Z Goes to College is the first book on how this up-and-coming generation will change higher education.
Download or read book The Impact of Collaborative Groups and Student Choice on Classroom Engagement written by Robert O. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collaborative learning has been a well-researched topic that has consistently shown to increase student engagement, develop high level thinking, build self esteem, and promote a positive attitude toward the subject. These benefits are just the tip of the iceberg when dealing with both collaborative and cooperative learning. With the overwhelming research that supports collaborative learning, teachers are transitioning to effectively establish this style of teaching and learning in the classroom. Unfortunately, many collaborative and cooperative learning groups fall short of actually being considered these groups for a number of reasons (group arrangement, establishing norms and positive interdependence). Teachers need to fully understand each of these learning strategies in order to maximize the benefit that results from students being in these groups. To further engage and motivate middle school students, it is worth considering allowing a certain level of choice in the classroom. Students that have the potential to choose seats, partners, assignments, due dates, etc. have shown to produce more positive behaviors and an increase of self-motivation. Through qualitative research, methods using interviews, surveys, and field notes, this study investigates students' perspectives of collaborative and choice in the classroom. Furthermore, the study investigates how to increase student engagement and motivation in middle school science by incorporating collaborative learning groups and freedom of choice in the classroom. This research provides perspectives about the benefits that students gain from utilizing these strategies as well as the role comfortability plays in student engagement.

Download or read book Reshaping International Teaching and Learning in Higher Education written by Paul G. Nixon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-21 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a broad examination of how technology and globalisation have influenced contemporary higher education institutions and how moves towards internationalisation within and between educational providers continue to be a force for change in this context. Showcasing the varied responses to and utilisation of new technologies to support international teaching and learning endeavours at a range of higher education institutions, this book introduces content from around the world, emphasising the global importance of the internationalisation of education. Featuring contributions from some fresh young voices alongside the work of experienced and internationally renowned scholars this collection critically scrutinises the potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on the capacities and patterns of university education; assesses and refines the contention that ICTs are facilitating the (re-)shaping of university practices as well as challenging traditional educational models and learning strategies; provides a comprehensive portrait of the ways in which ICT use engages higher education providers, society, and individuals to facilitate potentially more democratic, globally focussed access to knowledge generation, creation, investigation, and consumption processes through internationally focussed education; and examines the differing pace and scope of change in international educational practice and context between and within countries and disciplines. With an international range of carefully chosen contributors, this book is a must-read text for practitioners, academics, researchers, administrators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of the university in an information age.
Download or read book Effects of Online Collaborative Learning of Student Engagement and Academic Success written by Douglas Humes and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study seeks to increase the effectiveness of online collaborative learning in middle school science classrooms and explore its impact on student beliefs and attitudes toward collaborative learning. Historically, many students, parents and educators have not appreciated the effectiveness of cooperative learning, due in part, to adverse past experience. Corporations today demand in their employees collaborative skills lacking in many of today's graduates from secondary schools. Our students require these skills and experience to compete in our current and future economy. Research has shown that collaborative learning projects support dramatic increases in engagement leading to deeper understanding and higher-level thinking. These results have been seen only in learning environments where students receive training to function in collaborative groups, have structured project with goals, roles, and outcomes, and are given regular feedback from teachers and peer group members regarding individual contributions and personal group effectiveness. Using an experimental design with three subject groups receiving varying levels of support for developing collaborative skills and group functioning skills the study aims to quantify how much support and qualify which support materials will best improve student learning, individual accountability, and student held beliefs about the efficacy of collaborative learning in middle school classrooms. Results from this study have shown that collaborative online learning does benefit from scaffolding that supports collaborative planning and feedback from peers and teachers. Additionally, the efficacy of online collaboration may be less than face-to-face collaborative learning.

Download or read book Big Picture Pedagogy Finding Interdisciplinary Solutions to Common Learning Problems written by Regan A. R. Gurung and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a big-picture look at teaching and learning. Building on existing pedagogical research, this volume showcases the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) across the disciplines--and takes it in a new direction. In each chapter, interdisciplinary teams of authors address a single pedagogical question, bringing each of their home disciplines specific literature and methodologies to the table. The result is a fresh examination of evidence-based practices for teaching and learning in higher education that is intentionally inclusive of faculty from different disciplines. By taking a closer, more systematic look at the pedagogies used within the disciplines and their impacts on student learning, the authors herein move away from more generic teaching tips and generic classroom activities and toward values, knowledge, and manner of thinking within SoTL itself. The projects discussed in each chapter, furthermore, will provide models for further research via interdisciplinary collaboration. This is the 151st volume of this Jossey-Bass higher education series. It offers a comprehensive range of ideas and techniques for improving college teaching based on the experience of seasoned instructors and the latest findings of educational and psychological researchers.

Download or read book Keeping Us Engaged written by Christine Harrington and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers faculty practical strategies to engage students that are research-grounded and endorsed by students themselves. Through student stories, a signature feature of this book, readers will discover why professor actions result in changed attitudes, stronger connections to others and the course material, and increased learning.Structured to cover the key moments and opportunities to increase student engagement, Christine Harrington covers the all-important first day of class where first impressions can determine students’ attitudes for the duration of the course, through to insights for rethinking assignments and enlivening teaching strategies, to ways of providing feedback that build students’ confidence and spur them to greater immersion in their studies, providing the underlying rationale for the strategies she presents. The student narratives not only validate these practices, offering their perspectives as learners, but constitute a trove of ideas and practices that readers will be inspired to adapt for their particular needs.Conscious of the changing demographics of today’s undergraduate and graduate students – racially more diverse, older, and many employed – Harrington highlights the need to engage all students and shares numerous strategies on how to do so. While many of the ideas presented were used by faculty teaching face to face classes, a number were developed by faculty teaching online, and the majority can be adapted to virtually any teaching environment. Based on student-centered active learning principles, structured to allow readers to quickly identify practices that they may need in particular instances or to infuse in a course as a whole, and presented without jargon, this book is a springboard for all faculty looking for ideas that will engage their students at any level and in any course.
