Millennial Nursing Students and Classroom Learning Preferences by Donna https://padlet.com/dtdarcy/2p437smzdpct Self-directed learning: paradise or penance en-us 2016-04-14 15:03:52 UTC 2023-03-17 20:44:20 UTC hello@padlet.com dtdarcy https://padlet.com/dtdarcy/2p437smzdpct/wish/105825142 ..........children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Every one of my students now has a cellular phone.  Many have laptop computers that they bring to class.  They text message me and each other.  They easily use nationally-known search engines and on-line encyclopedias. Social media is used for large percentages of their communication.Yet, I perceive a resistance in their use of technology in the classroom and for academic support. Are they just being "contrary"?  What are their learning preferences?]]> 2016-04-14 15:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dtdarcy/2p437smzdpct/wish/105826266 Literature says:  Millennials prefer traditional learning methods dtdarcy https://padlet.com/dtdarcy/2p437smzdpct/wish/105827157 In this study of 137 nursing students in Greece, "although almost all millennials use technology on a daily basis, 82% preferred traditional learning and teaching methods such as lecture.

1.     To what extent do millennial nursing students use technology in support of their learning?
2.     Is the perceived resistance of millennial nursing students to using technology in nursing curriculum a reality? 
3.     To what extent do millennial nursing students feel using technology in the classroom is critical in preparing them for the needs of 21st century nursing?
4.     How can technology best be used in the millennial nursing student’s classroom?
5.     What types of technological innovations would best meet the learning needs of the millennial nursing student?

Are you using all of the heading as sub topics for research?  I had a little difficulty following the connections between the paths to find where you will focus your final research question.  ]]> 2016-04-19 01:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dtdarcy/2p437smzdpct/wish/106438346
