3. DISCUSSION:
• These characteristics suggest that Generation Me would benefit from a more
structured but also more interactive learning experience, and that the overconfidence
of this group may need to be tempered.
• ... Generation Me students have high IQs, but little desire to read long texts. Instruction
may need to be delivered in shorter segments and perhaps incorporate more material
delivered in media such as videos and an interactive format.
• Given their heightened desire for leisure, today's students may grow into professionals
who demand lighter work schedules, thereby creating conflict within the profession.
