• Silent & BB: linear learners
– attend class, read then do
• Gen Y: “on demand” learners, likely
“turned off” by long lectures
• BB & Gen X: may get annoyed by
Gen Y many questions & freq FB
Generational Learning
• Silent: “No news is good news”
• BB: “Once a year” with lots of
documentation
• Gen X: Now, “How am I doing”
• Gen Y: Whenever I want
Generational Views on FB*
* Silent & BB views on FB differ from what
Gen X or Y expect. Need adaptability.
• Center of parent attention, told
“special” & “winners”
• Close relationship w/ authority
• Expect: structure, clear
rules
Millennial: Basic
• High regard to objective testing
• Goal-oriented, tenacious,
determined
• Short attention span
• Multi-tasker
• Fascinated by new technology
Millennial: Basic
• Excited: can’t wait to see what
it can do!
• “Oh, no”: another new system
to learn
• Millennials embrace new
technology
• Prefers structure & technology, multi-tasking, teamwork, experiential activities, expect quick responses
• Like Nintendo:
– problem solving/decision making
– “trial-n-error”
– loosing: fastest way to master a game, considered “learning”
Millennial Learning
• Case-based group learning
• Case review books
• “Trial-n-error” & “hands-on”
• Creative interactive learning
• Fun
• New technology
Millennial Prefers
• Formal lengthy lectures
• Long VTC: feel removed from
discussion, distracted
• Reading textbooks
• Boredom
Millennial “Turn Offs”
1. Interactive teaching with
technology
2. Communication/feedback:
immediate
Millennial Educator: Tools
• ARS/cell phone w/ direct
interactive questions
– “Why did you select the
answer?” (Can be the correct or
incorrect answer)
- “What can we learn from this?”
Interactive Teaching w/ Technology
• Case-based scenarios
– Group discussion on options
– Collaborative learning with immediate feedback
– Case reviews
Interactive Teaching w/ Technology
• Standard GME lectures: try not to rely
on lectures as a 1 teaching modality
• Use multi-media presentation
• Use interactive case scenarios or
problem solving cases during lecture
Interactive Teaching w/ Technology
• Have resident write learning
objectives
– self-reflect (+/-), rotation, 6 month
• Have learner make the in-clinic (“real
time”) decisions (with graded
supervision) for ongoing NM exams
Interactive Teaching
• Involve the learner in an active
problem solving project (i.e. PBLI)
• Involve the learner in faculty
feedback/program improvement
– ARS end of lecture feedback
Interactive Teaching
• Multi-tasking may be perceived as
“rude” by the Silent generation or BB
• Cell-text-email-iPad
• Not intended
• Short attention span, need to
to know “now”
• On-line connectedness
Beware: A Misperception
• Gen Y viewpoint*: wants close
relationship to authority (like
parents), feels “special,” prefers
authority approachable, support,
communicate
• Regular feedback, attention
• Would likely start at “the top”
Communicating/Mentoring
•Silent & BB may not be comfortable with open communication w/o hierarchy
• “Trophy kids” may have problems w negative feedback/failure
– not easy, discuss defensiveness openly
– very peer conscious
• Immediate feedback on observed specific behavior made clear & simple
• Tell them what is needed & why
Communication
• Set clear expectations
– “micro-managing” – a “comfort
zone”
• Frequent & immediate feedback
– “observed behavior”
– What doing “right” & “wrong”
Communication
• Immediate (written/verbal)
• Behavior-specific, clear, simple
• Example: 360/multi-source surveys
• Involve learner in remediation plan
– Self-reflection
– Time frame goals & re-assessment
Approach to Corrective Feedback
• Consistent message
• Millennials like positive feedback
• Use praise & positive comments
in public
• Peer conscious
Approach to Positive Feedback
• Date: July 1
Your 1st year 28 yo NM resident is
notified that a “thyroid patient” is
ready to be seen.
• As the supervising faculty, what is
your approach to this patient with
the resident?
Scenario 1
A." See one, do one, teach one”
B. Give it to the 3rd year NM
resident
C. “Call me if you need me”
D. Explain the process of patient
evaluation
• Goal: Assess whether the pt will need a thyroid scan & uptake
• Process: Clear guidance (“step-by-step”) on basic history, lab data, physical exam, discussion with pt & family*
• Feedback
Patient Evaluation
* Future pt discussions can be more in-depth
• Date: July 14
Your 1st year 28 yo resident has
been arriving at 9 am and is “not
around” when studies are being
monitored. What is your approach
to this behavior?
Scenario 2
A. Tell the resident that work starts at
8 am
B. Address the observed behavior
C. Give a below expected
performance evaluation at the end
of the rotation
1. Timely feedback
2. Goal: resident education & pt care
3. Observed behavior: may get defensive, stress goals/outcome
4. Rules/expected behavior
5. Reassessment: ongoing
Address the observed behavior
6. Do not tell resident they are “unprofessional.”
7. Feedback needs to stress the specific inappropriate behavior & the reason(s) why.
8. Clearly state expectations & consequences if not meet.
Address the observed behavior
• Date: Oct 8
Your 1st year 28 yo resident
asks you how do you review a
VQ scan . What is your
approach?
Scenario 3
• Explain your approach to the image, “step-by-
step” (basic, later more advanced points)
• Checklist:
1) review history/pertinent labs & studies
2) QC
3) Show* how you review the perfusion scan
How you do it.
*”show” vs “tell”
• Teaching Gen Y needs
flexibility
• Understanding Gen Y
expectations is vital to success
for the Silent/BB/Gen X faculty
• Strong educational leadership
• Define who & what are the
Silent, Boomers, Gen X & Y.
• Understand generational
differences to enhance learning
and feedback.
Summary
• Apply tools of
1) interactive learning with novel
technology and
2) immediate & frequent
feedback to optimize teaching
the Millennial learner.
