TUNING INTO GEN-Y LEARNERS: AN ENGAGEMENT CATALYST

Abstract

The Generation that sits in our classrooms have specific traits that make them dif ferent from previous generations of learners. As Educators, how do we respond to these notable traits? How can our delivery approach to suit Gen-Y learners be enhanced? This is a review paper with literature to support a recommended approach consisting of two basic methods; practicality and personalisation. These methods can complement each other in teaching if it is synergized with a ‘pursuit’ which can support the learning outcomes as add-ons to delivery approaches that can enhance classroom atmosphere and serve to engage students with an end goal in sight. Observations from two case studies are related offering two different perspectives of using the recommended approach and the effectiveness of this applying approach is discussed. Field of Research: Practical Teaching, Personal Approach, Gen-Y, Teaching & Learning, Student Engagement, Active Learning and Gamification.
