From Baby Boomers to Generation Y Millennials: Structure Classes For
From Baby Boomers to Generation Y Millennials: Ideas on How Professors Might Structure Classes for this Media Conscious Generation Marilyn Koeller National University New techniques for matching instructional strategies for the Millennial generation have been researched and discussed in this article. Some comparisons with previous generations have been outlined. These strategies are meant to meet the learning needs of Generation Y Millennial students in order to make their education more meaningful in both the on ground and online teaching and learning environment. Specific examples have been provided for both venues with a focus on the online environment. Hopefully, these strategies will not only support learner centered instruction and interactivity, but will address the communication preferences of Millennials in today’s colleges and universities. INTRODUCTION Four groups were compared in various categories to make the transition to what is valued by the Millennials. Through these comparisons, various instructional strategies will be outlined to produce an effective learning environment for today’s students (Wilson & Gerber, 2008). The Generational Divide The traditionalists generation was born between 1925 and 1945. There were about seventy five million traditionalists. This group was considered loyal to their teachers and authority in general. They valued logic and discipline and teachers used lectures, memorization and one way communication to deliver content in teaching. The instructional strategies used were based on processing information and learning basic skills that were given to students by teachers. There was one right answer that did not allow for change or thinking “outside the box”. It was important for students to learn basic facts and to be able to spell correctly, use correct grammar, and compute without using a calculator (Wilson & Gerber, 2008). -

The Post-80S Generation in Beijing: Collective Memory and Generational Identity
SANDRA VALéRIE CONSTANTIN. The post-80s generation in Beijing 5 DOI: 10.2478/ijas-2013-0001 Sandra Valérie ConStantin UniVerSitY oF GeneVa The post-80s generation in Beijing: collective memory and generational identity Abstract This article questions the relevance of the notion of generation to describe the cohort who lives in Beijing and who was born in the 1980s and early 1990s, after the implementation of the reforms and opening-up policy in China. The analysis relies on 627 questionnaires collected in Beijing in 2010. The sample was stratified by age and sex, and, based on quotas; it was split into five age groups (18-26 year-olds, 33-41 year-olds, 48-56 year-olds, 63-71 year-olds and 78-86 year-olds). The respondents were questioned on their perception of turning points and socio-historical changes that occurred during their lifetime. After having analysed the data in a comparative perspective, we came to conclusion that the word generation is suitable to describe the young people from Beijing born in the 1980s and early 1990s not only because they do share autobiographical and collective historical memories, but also because these memories have by and large taken place between their adolescence and entry into adulthood (supporting the hypothesis of the existence of a reminiscence bump). Keywords: China, collective memory, generation, identity, life course, youth Theoretical framework Individual life course and History are strongly imbedded. Since the middle of the last century, sociologists have been seeking to understand the mechanics of this embedded-ness on micro-, meso-, and macro-socioeconomic levels. -
THE PROBLEM of GENERATIONS As to Be Capable of Choosing Rationally the Form of Government Most Suitable for Himself
HOW THE PROBLEM STANDS AT THE MOMENT 277 forms of historical being. But if the ultimate human relationships are changed, the existence of man as we have come to understand it must cease altogether-culture, creativeness, tradition must all disappear, or must at least appear in a totally different light. Hume actually experimented with the idea of a modification of such ultimate data. Suppose, he said, the type of succession of human generations to be completely altered to resemble that of CHAPTER VII a butterfly or caterpillar, so that the older generation disappears at one stroke and the new one is born all at once. Further, suppose man to be of such a high degree of mental development THE PROBLEM OF GENERATIONS as to be capable of choosing rationally the form of government most suitable for himself. (This, of course, was the main problem I. HOW THE PROBLEM STANDS AT THE MOMENT of Hume's time.)

RACIAL and GENDER IDENTITIES Sasha Shen Johfre and Aliya Saperstein
STATE OF THE UNION 7 RACIAL AND GENDER IDENTITIES Sasha Shen Johfre and Aliya Saperstein KEY FINDINGS • Millennials are more likely than previous generations to identify as multiracial. • Millennials also are more likely to adopt unconventional gender identities, such as reporting that they see themselves as equally feminine and masculine. • However, they are not outpacing previous generations in rejecting race and gender stereotypes. Their attitudes toward women’s roles and perceptions of black Americans are quite similar to those of baby boomers or Gen Xers. merican millennials have been hailed New forms of data collection also emerged as the “bridge” to a more racially diverse during this period.

These forces have shaped their worldviews, values, and behaviors. Digital natives’ ability to connect, convene, and create disruption via their keyboards and smartphones has had global impact. From #MeToo to Black Lives Matter, from convening marches on climate change to the Arab Spring, from demanding eco-friendly products to challenging stakeholder capitalism, these generations are compelling real change in society and business. The lockdowns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed millennials’ and Gen Zs’ activities but not their drive or their desire to be heard. In fact, the 2021 Deloitte Global Millennial Survey suggests that the pandemic, extreme climate events, and a charged sociopolitical atmosphere may have reinforced people’s passions and given them oxygen. 01 Urging accountability Last year’s report1 reflected the results of two Of course, that’s a generality—no group of people is surveys—one taken just before the pandemic and a homogeneous. -
Gen Z in the Workforce: Nuance and Success
GEN Z IN THE WORKFORCE: NUANCE AND SUCCESS Zachary N. Clark Dr. Kathleen Howley Director of Student Activities & Assessment Deputy Vice Chancellor for Academic & Student Affairs Indiana University of Pennsylvania Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Overview In this session, you will: Acquire an overview of the different generations of Americans currently serving in the workforce, including Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. Explore key differences and similarities in these generations across core belief structures, including understandings of society, education, leadership, technology, and more. Identify recommendations and best practices, reinforced with research, to help find success in the multigenerational workplace, including in the first post-educational work experience. Evaluate through deep reflection how participants define student success, while also collaborating with peers to identify ‘one piece of advice’ for trustees and presidents to ensure worthwhile experiences at our universities and to support post-graduation success. Things to Keep in Mind Generational studies are not exact, and have clear limitations. These pieces of information highlight national trends, as shown in sociological and educational research. Not every member of a particular generation of college student will be a cookie-cutter image to their peers. While engaging in discussion today, keep statements broad enough so as to respect the privacy and guard the identities of individuals (students, faculty, staff, administrators, -

GENERATION INFORMATION Adapted From: the Center for Generational Studies
GENERATION INFORMATION Adapted from: The Center for Generational Studies www.gentrends.com Baby Boomers (Born 1946-1964) Baby Boomers entered a thriving economy after WWII. The US had established itself as the preeminent power in the world. Factories were pumping out new cars and appliances. Houses were being built at a record pace. The proliferation of TVs in the 1950s forever changed the way that those growing up viewed the world. Boomers grew up feeling more secure than their parents. They began to question policies, rules and practices that had been in place for years. From this emerged civil rights protests, anti-war protests and a host of other rumbling that unsettled prior generations. Because of their size, this generation has received lots of attention. Companies focused their products. Politicians focused their messages. Rock and roll music took over the air waves. As a result, Boomers have grown up thinking the world is their oyster. As boomers entered the work place, they forever changed the way business was done. Many have taken advantage of college opportunities which raised the bar for many positions. Boomers focused on efficiency, teamwork, quality, and service. These efforts have produced a thriving “self-help” industry which feeds Boomers’ optimism and quest for eternal youth. The size of this generation continues to drive the economy and they place increasing emphasis on convenience. Financial security will remain a central issue for many, forcing thousands to work well past the age at which their parents retired. Their quest to remain eternally young will alter the face of lifestyles, the work force, consumer products, entertainment and public policy.
