Reaching the Millennial student
Understanding how today’s students learn successfully is
essential for effective curriculum design:
“… educators to change their methods in order to reach today’s
millennial student.” Ebert (2016)
“Millennials are the most diverse generation we have had to teach, thus our
approaches to teaching must be diverse … Millennials expect to be engaged in their
learning, they do not do well being passive learners”. NIU (2014)
These students embrace technology, lose interest during lectures, and enjoy the
challenges and experience of taking part in interactive learning activities. - Stevens and
Nies (2018)
Value authenticity, connection and co-creation
‘Many employers are already complaining about their need for constant feedback and their
weakness in basic job skills such as punctuality and proper dress - though most employers
who manage large numbers of them agree that they can perform superbly when given
clear goals and allowed to work in groups’. Howe and Strauss (2007)
‘Members of Generation K increasingly value things they can actively co-create. It is a
generation of makers, creators and inventors.
‘Selfie-taking yet unselfish, connected yet lonely, anxious yet pragmatic, risk-averse yet
entrepreneurial, Generation K is a distinct cadre, a generation very different from those
that preceded them’.
Phillips and Joseph (2015: 526) student quotes: “Don't read from PowerPoint ... I zoned out
before the second slide.”
“… relate the material to the real world or explain how it would be applied to actual tasks.
…engage students in the material by answering questions, rather than consistent
lecturing.”
The Future and Workplace is team based
• Team working/building and leadership
• Inter-personal skills
– Negotiation
– Decision making
– Handling conflict
– Sharing
• Communication skills
– Presentation, explaining, questioning
– Networking
• Managing projects and meetings
• Evaluation, judgement, appraisal
• Entrepreneurship, ‘intrapreneurship’ and social enterprise

Top 4 actions for the next few years
Inclusive Teaching, Learning & Assessment
 ‘Good teaching and learning is inclusive’ (Thomas et al, 2005; Hockings, 2010)
 ‘Teaching which engages students in learning that is meaningful, relevant and
accessible to all, embracing the view of individual difference as a source of diversity
that can enrich the lives and learning of others’ (adapted from Hockings 2010)

Design Thinking - Story telling
How are we telling stories to our students and taking them with us?
Roth, B. (2015)
Where do students tell stories to us?
Social constructionist perspective
‘Knowledge’ becomes locally situated in the cultural and
social milieu in which it is created and what is important is
what happens ‘in between’ people, in the discursive social
context’ (Burr, 2015).
Meaning is created through interactions in the social
context. The SC approach recognises that the individual is
indivisible from their social context.
Where are the conversation spaces in curriculum?
…. science and engineering staff and students too

• Enabling students to learn
excellently
• Creating leaders for the
future
• Every student needs to be
exposed to research at all
stages of their degree
• Students really feel they are
part of the research group –
in all years, they contribute
usefully
Explaining pedagogic approaches to students
This is why I
don’t waste my
time and your
time lecturing
Pre-1993
Teacher-centred
approaches dominate
Focus on a lecturer’s performance and
presentation of material; essentially
transferring information to the class
2018
How close are we to universal
student-centred learning?
Information transfer part of the picture;
Students involved;
Students doing;
Active and experiential learning pedagogies
prioritised and supported (Scheyvens et al.,
2008);
Assessment is authentic;
Delivery is inclusive, supporting learners with
diverse backgrounds and learning needs to
develop autonomy.
Biggs and Tang, 2007; Gibbs and Simpson,
2005
• International students
• Study from home, local and
commuting students
• Well-being
• Study support requirements
• (Un)awareness of university style
learning
• Search for value in the university
experience
Induction as a 3-year process
Focus on starting University
Multiple interlocking issues
First year success factors (Cox & Lemon, 2016)
10 ‘success factors’ for 1st year students (based on reviewing contemporary
American literature):
1. Extent to which students are prepared to take responsibility and
control for their own learning
2. Competition
3. Task planning
4. Expectations (goal setting / career planning)
5. Family involvement
6. College involvement with the HEI
7. Time management
8. Wellness
9. Precision (personality type)
10. Persistence
What do we have in the
curriculum already to support
success?
- what’s missing?
- What are your students
missing?
- what else?
Scaffolding student learning
Energy – focus – interest – stimulation - engagement
• The Module timetable sets expectations:
• Detailed taught sessions and indicates out of class
activities (reading / group work / language classes,
writing café, ...)
• Managed student expectations
• Introducing ‘good study’ habits
• Identified / Dedicated time for group work
• Managed anxiety:
“Working in groups enabled us to discuss our worries
about the assessment”
‘It’s not hard to find friends; it’s hard to find British friends.’
An inquiry into the social integration of international students at
the University of Plymouth.
Anne Bentley
Research funded by a grant from the UK Council for International Student
Affairs (UKCISA)
Cultural connections-
Findings with international students?
 It’s not hard to find friends; it’s hard to find British friends.
 I played a card game with my flatmates but I just can’t play it because they give like the
particular name of probably the political figures or some stars but I have no clue about
who they are.
 We don’t actually watch the same cartoons as you growing up, we don’t watch the same
TV programmes so actually we still have too much difference.
 sometimes they [home students] may think you are stupid
 Yeah, make me feel embarrassed, so I tend to go along with other international students.
I learnt some local expressions: Cheers mate! Cheers have many different meanings. If you
want to say thank you, you can use this word to replace that. …if you communicate with your
friends or others, speaking cheers seems more suitable. Also, when you leave the public vehicle,
you want to say goodbye to the driver….
I learnt that I need to improve pronunciation a lot because my buddy cannot understand my
pronunciation of ‘usually’. I will attend Pronunciation class.
Creating inclusive communities?
• Wenger (2010, p. 180) regards, ‘the person as a social participant, as a meaning-
making entity for whom the social world is a resource for constituting an identity.’
University is a new social world
• The communities international students make do not include home students,
(despite their best efforts)
• Research suggests a need for organisational ownership of the situation – with
lecturers and professional staff creating academic and co-curricular opportunities
for home-international encounters
Levelling the playing field?
Commuter Students
• Stay at Home Students: Students with term-time and vacation postcodes within the
city boundary. Many of these students have attend their city primary and secondary
schools, and possibly an FE college first.
• Commuter Students: those who travel to the University on a daily basis from outside
the city boundary. Daily commutes exceed two hours each way for some students.
• Study Away Students: Students who move to a city to study.
Inclusive, Active, Authentic student journey
 Admissions -realistic (fitness to study/practice issue)
 Early identification, communication about students support needs, reasonable
adjustments
 Consistent & effective personal tutoring
 Effective teaching and post session support
 Inclusive assessment and feedback
 Active learning - field trips / off campus activities, laboratory and practical work
accessible to all.

2 Student researchers
Tame Problems - complicated but resolvable, they are likely to have
occurred before, have a limited degree of uncertainty. There is an answer.
Wicked Problems are difficult  impossible to solve. Typically characterised by
incomplete information, contradictory and changing circumstances and requirements that
are often difficult to recognize. They are complex, not just complicated. No clear
relationship between cause and effect. Solving one aspect of a wicked problem may reveal
or create other problems.
Co-researching with partners.
Employer / charity / organisation - defined work to resolve contemporary life
and workplace issues.
Projects that align to the university / department mission exploring technical,
policy and society issues.
Topics that inspire dedicated enjoyment and deep engagement.
‘Products’ are professional standard, work-relevant, authentic in all aspects.
Fee-paying students are more engaged in co-creation activities in comparison
to non-fee-paying students. Maxwell et al. (2018: 1401)

    Social constructionist perspective ‘Knowledge’becomes locally situated in the cultural and social milieu in which it is created and what is important is what happens ‘in between’ people, in the discursive social context’ (Burr, 2015). Meaning is created through interactions in the social context. The SC approach recognises that the individual is indivisible from their social context. Where are the conversation spaces in curriculum? …. science and engineering staff and students too

    Cultural connections- Findings withinternational students?  It’s not hard to find friends; it’s hard to find British friends.  I played a card game with my flatmates but I just can’t play it because they give like the particular name of probably the political figures or some stars but I have no clue about who they are.  We don’t actually watch the same cartoons as you growing up, we don’t watch the same TV programmes so actually we still have too much difference.  sometimes they [home students] may think you are stupid  Yeah, make me feel embarrassed, so I tend to go along with other international students. I learnt some local expressions: Cheers mate! Cheers have many different meanings. If you want to say thank you, you can use this word to replace that. …if you communicate with your friends or others, speaking cheers seems more suitable. Also, when you leave the public vehicle, you want to say goodbye to the driver…. I learnt that I need to improve pronunciation a lot because my buddy cannot understand my pronunciation of ‘usually’. I will attend Pronunciation class.

Wicked Problems are difficult  impossible to solve. Typically characterised by incomplete information, contradictory and changing circumstances and requirements that are often difficult to recognize. They are complex, not just complicated. No clear relationship between cause and effect. Solving one aspect of a wicked problem may reveal or create other problems.

  • #35 Structure of the timetable Students were presented with a structured timetable (running from 9-6) which mapped out the teaching and learning activities related to this module. The timetable not only included details of the taught (workshops) sessions, but also indicated when students could undertake course related reading, study tasks and meet as a group. The module leader demonstrated a clear rationale behind structuring the timetable in this way; firstly, they highlighted the value of this to map out their expectations of the students when planning the course. But more importantly the module leader felt this gave a clear indication to students of what was expected of them and how they could manage their time in order to meet the requirements of this module. At the end of the module a number of students recognized the value of this in the focus group discussions and felt it had be a useful approach to assist them in planning what they did when. But, the students appreciated the opportunity to be ‘thrown in at the deep end’ and felt that the experience would be of benefit to them throughout the duration of their programme and into employment.
