PART A – EFFECTIVE CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT.
CHAPTER 1: THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION: UNDERSTANDING
AND ENCOURAGING TODAY’S LEARNERS.
EMERGENCE OF THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION:
• Millennial Generation = the generation of children born approximately between 1976
and 2000.
• Millennial Generation = first cohort of learners raised on and confirmed as experts in
the latest, fastest, coolest, greatest, newest electronic technologies on the planet.
Characteristics of Millennial Generation, they have the tendencies to:
Communicate more through technology than in person
Work and learn in teams and possess high energy
Seek career advancement, desire flexibility and higher pay
Work hard but also enjoy pleasure
Share what they have learnt through collaboration in small groups
Be financially savvy
Multitask proficiently – working with content and simultaneously interacting
with others
Take on different roles in learning – learner, instructor and supporter ➢
Spend a lot of money
• Starkest difference between the Millennial Generation and any other generation = the
availability and accessibility of information.
• Generation believes = knowledge is power, and all knowledge can be found quickly
through the internet
Seven core traits that can be linked to the Millennial Generation:
• They are made to feel they are special.
• They have been sheltered by their parents and society
• They are confident, with high levels of trust and optimism.
• They have developed strong team building skills (team-orientated)
• They are conventional, following rules and standards.
• They have been pressured to study hard and excel.
• They are high achievers and highly educated.

LEARNING STYLES OF THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION:
• Learners want to control how, why and when a task is completed.
• The preferred learning styles of Millennial Generation learners:
Experimental activities
Using technology
Structure
Teamwork
Experimental activities:
• The most frequent learning styles in the Millennial Generation are the kinaesthetic
and visual learning styles.
• Millennial Generation learners prefer “active learning”, instead of learning by the
customary transmission or the auditory lectorial learning model.
• Millennial Generation learners prefer learning through experiences which actively
engage them, and construct their own learning by “doing” rather than just being told.
• Multi-sensory media such as diagrams, graphs, video and flow charts, instead of just
texts, are favoured by these learners.
• As learners retain 5% of material presented in the classroom, 10% of what they read,
20-30% of what they see, and 75% of what they do, we can clearly see that is an
effective approach to learning.
This can be implemented by having the learners engage in kinaesthetic and
visual learning, by for example having the learners move and point to body parts when
learning about human anatomy. Another way to implement this, is by having the learners, for
example having them practice maths on an interactive whiteboard. Technology:
• Because of the fact that Millennial Generation learners are technologically savvy, this
leads to them to relate to and appreciate the flexibility and comfort of an online
teaching environment.
• Just as other learners, Millennial Generation learners interact better with meaningful
experiences.
• To provide and environment for deep learning and understanding, the following is
important:
The learners interact better with meaningful experiences
Having a greater ability to study at their own time, pace and choosing.
• It is not necessarily technology that makes learning engaging, but the learning
activity.
• The only innovations of value are those which enable engagement by making
learning more active, social and learner centred, which is indicated by phrases such
as web “surfing” and “texting”.
I can implement technology in the classroom by having the learners work on
tablets, and completing tasks on a laptop. I can also present lessons by using a
