Session Description:
Do the students who come to your practice these days seem somehow different from your memories of school and college? Do you know how they learn, how they see themselves, and how they can be engaged in the learning process? Richard Callan, DMD, discusses how today's medical and dental students differ from previous generations and how different approaches can help instructors meet the challenges of teaching the millennial generation.
Session Objectives:
- Develop a better understanding of the characteristics of today’s students.
- Develop a better understanding of modern, evidenced based, educational theory.
- Gain a more complete awareness of the teaching modalities available to them.
- Cultivate an appreciation for teaching students to think, not just memorize facts.
- Create a framework by which they can enhance their teaching skills by implementing new teaching modalities in order to better align with the characteristics of the learner.
