Learning needs of the 21st century: Using intentional emergence with Generation Z college students.

Abstract

The student body within a university is a dynamic entity, with each cohort being shaped by current societal events and technological advancements. Thus, higher education institutions and other providers of leadership education and development must consider the nature of today's college students and employees, who are primarily from Generation Z, when engaging in teaching and learning practices. One such pedagogy that aligns with this student cohort is intentional emergence (IE). This article will discuss ideas and considerations for using IE with Generation Z students.
