Teaching to Teach: Focus on Millennial Learners-Session Presentation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session focused on teaching techniques for millennial learners. The presenters discussed key concepts in adult learning theory and the differences in learning styles and preferences between generations. They emphasized the importance of creating a psychologically and physically safe learning climate, identifying the specific interests and learning needs of learners, and allowing learners to take the lead in their own learning. They also discussed the five key assumptions of adult learning theory, including self-direction, the value of experience, the readiness to learn, a focus on problem-solving and application, and the internal motivators of adult learners. The presenters then discussed the characteristics and learning preferences of different generations, including the silent generation, baby boomers, generation X, millennials, and generation Z. They emphasized the need to adapt teaching strategies to the unique characteristics and preferences of each generation. In terms of interactive learning techniques, the presenters discussed the SNAP model, which involves active participation and questioning of learners during patient presentations, the one-minute preceptor model, which involves assessing clinical reasoning skills through a series of questions, and the activated demonstration model, which involves assigning specific tasks for learners to observe during a procedure. The presenters also highlighted the importance of including interactive elements in lectures to engage learners, such as using cases, asking thought-provoking questions, including different media options, and incorporating interactive activities such as group discussions and problem-solving exercises. Overall, the session provided practical strategies for teaching millennial learners and adapting teaching techniques to different generations.
