Developing the Strengths of Generation Z College Students
Seemiller, Corey; Clayton, Jason
Journal of College and Character, v20 n3 p268-275 2019
Generation Z, the postmillennial generation, has come to college. Their characteristics, motivations, and learning preferences, which differ from those of millennials, may require educators to rethink and redesign strengths-based education to ensure content and pedagogical approaches align with this new generation. This article offers suggestions for modifying existing strengths-based exercises as well as offering ideas for new exercises that specifically align with and leverage the capacities of Generation Z students.
