Faculty have complained for years that the level of civility in their classrooms has continued to decline but what do the students in the same class think about the disturbing activities? That is what a recent study by Mupinga, Nora, and Yaw sought to determine. They discovered that allowing a cell phone to ring; using a Palm Pilot, iPod or computer for non-class work; arriving late or leaving early; packing up books before class is over; and text messaging are the five behaviors students in the study indicate are both quite uncivil and occur with more than mid-level frequency. The study also offers some strategies for dealing with the annoying interruptions. While we all hope that our students are intrinsically motivated to perform well in our classes, common sense tells us that just isn't always true. Isaacson and Was have developed a diagnostic learning approach that is designed to provide students with weekly feedback identifying specific deficiencies in their metacognition and learning strategies. Students are given weekly tests that require them to make meta-cognitive choices that will improve their test scores. Research points to a significant relationship between metacognition and learning. Millennials, born between 1982 and 2003, have been called the next “Great Generation” but what sets them apart and why do they require different teaching pedagogies? Wilson and Gerber apply generational studies to the topic and make some interesting conclusions.
