II. Agenda Topic: Millennial Trends of Behaviors, Attitudes and Interests of Youth
Seminar-Workshop Re-echo
Time Allotted: 3 hours (9:00 AM to 12:00 PM)
Presenter: Marie Ann B. Rey, PLC Focal Person

Narrative of Discussion: This topic is a re-echo from where the presenter attended

a National Seminar Workshop on Innovative Teaching for Re-tooling and

Readiness with the Theme: 21st Century Filipino Students and the New Curricula:

Innovating and Retooling for Readiness, conducted by The Institute of Leaders in

Educational Advancement and Development

The presentation begun with a fun game about movies. The presenter will

flash a photo of a significant scene from a movie and participants will raise their

hand and provide the complete title of the movie. Each correct answer merits

one (1 chocolate). Everyone had fun as the movie genres were diverse.
Participants tend to laugh when theres an older movie and they then to be very

excited if the movie is just recent.

Transitioning from a game to the actual discussion, a video about FEUs

study was played. The study aims to understand the values, the mindset, and the

beliefs of todays youth. It also aims to check how the college experience is

affecting the Filipino youth.

The following Generations were discussed with corresponding videos as

additional aid for understanding:

- Baby Booomers and the Real Reason they hesitate with Technology

- Generation X and their Reconsidered Reputation

- The Millennials and How to Engage them in 5 Important Moves and The

Flipped Classroom Approach

- Generation Z and the Widespread Usage of the Internet; and

- The Alpha Generation and the Predictions

The last part of the session was spent for the Workshop. The participants

were asked to group themselves according to their Department and Grade Level.

Each mini-group was provided a worksheet where they can write notes on to. The

workshop focuses on having teachers create/write a class activity that would

display a Flipped Classroom Approach that also highlights 5Rs of the 5 Important

Moves to Engage Millennials ( Reseacrh-based methods, Relevance, Rationale,

Relaxed, and Rapport).

Prior to the scheduled session, the teachers were asked to answer a survey

and 90% of the population was able to participate. Results are detailed out in the

Conclusion part.
Conclusions:

The result of the survey shows that 88.89% of the respondents were born in

the year 1980 1995; and 11.11% of those who responded in the survey were born

in the year 1965 1979. This goes to show that teachers and students alike belong

to the millennial generation. As stated in various researches, Millennials are

considered to be unique in many ways. They are digitally literate, ambitious, great

multi-taskers.

When it comes to reinforcement, which is a key factor in todays education

that focuses on performance, 33.33% of the respondents believe in purely Positive

Reinforcement. The other 33.33% suggests that there should be a balance

between both Positive and Negative Reinforcements. The other one-third of the

respondents believes that while we can use both reinforcements, there should be

more Positive ones than Negative. Nobody believes that we should use purely

Negative Reinforcement. Believing in the power of having rapport and a relaxed

learning environment, a great balance of both positive and negative

reinforcements will be an effective approach in engaging with millenials

teachers and students alike. Reinforcement does not only enhance the behavior

but it also enhances memory. The memory-enhancing stimulus can also be one

whose effects are directly rather than only indirectly emotional, as with the

phenomenon of "flashbulb memory," in which an emotionally highly intense

stimulus can incentivize memory of a set of a situation's circumstances well

beyond the subset of those circumstances that caused the emotionally significant

stimulus

Recommendation:

In order for teachers to start revolutionizing the teaching-learning process,

they may:

1. Start incorporating the Flipped Classroom Model tied up with the 5Rs on

how to engage Millennial on certain topics. This could be time consuming

and may require additional effort from the Teacher. However, in order for

us to become effective facilitators of Learning, stepping out of our comfort

zone to learn and develop different strategies will help us develop the

youth, at the same time, developing our professional skills.

Part of the holistic growth Las Pias National High School Almanza, the focus on

development is not solely on the students. Part of improvement also has to cover

the Administration and the Teachers. Based on the survey result, almost 90% of the

Teachers are millennial. This group utilizes technology differently than generation

X their predecessors. Technology is intimately embedded in their lives.

1. Creating collaborative training experiences that involves technology

must be provided during In-Service Trainings rather than the plain old

lecture with a speaker in front.

2. The administrators can start developing a millennial-centered learning

environment not only for the students but also the teachers.
