5 Research Problem Millennials, the highest proportion of students enrolled college population at 39.6% Nurse educators identify problems developing teaching strategies in education that undergraduate millennial nursing students find engaging and meaningful (DeBorough, 2008; Hunter-Revell & McCurry, 2009; McCurry & Martins, 2010; Skiba & Barton, 2006).

6 Problem Continued NCLEX examination declined by 12% in 2008 causing the NLN to sanction probation to nursing schools whose pass rates fall below 80% (NLN, 2012; Ukpabi, 2008). Despite the sanctions, only 90.34% of nurses eligible to take the NCLEX examination in 2012 were successful on their first attempt (NSBN, 2013).

8 Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify the perception of millennial students participating in traditional pedagogies and its significant implications for nursing education. Knowing preferred methods of pedagogical practices desired of millennials will define not what to teach but how to teach to get the message to the student.

9 Literature Review Multiple generations in one classroom; largest percentage Millennials (Tapscott, 2009). Nursing educators struggle to develop teaching strategies that undergraduate nursing students find engaging and meaningful (McCurry & Martins, 2010) Brown s (1948) report Nursing for the future: a report prepared for the National Nursing Council

10 Literature Review Nurse Training Act of position paper by the American Nurses Association IOM report Generational Gap Traditional Pedagogy Cowen & Tech (2002) Gaming Richardson (2008) learning styles Hunter- Revell (2010) technology invasion

11 Significance to Nursing Retention of students Nursing education needs to find proven teaching strategies in the literature that will engage students actively in the learning process (NLN, 2012; Ukpabi, 2008). Digital immigrants teaching digital natives

13 Research Question What is the lived experience of the millennial nursing students in educational programs that use traditional nursing pedagogies? Define for me a traditional nursing classroom? How do you adjust your learning style to associate with traditional nursing classrooms? What learning methods ensure your success in the nursing program?

14 Theoretical Framework Parse s Human Becoming Model (Parse, 1999) A human lives through a specific experience and depicts an individual viewpoint. Students reveal personal meanings Meaning Rhythmicity Transcendence

21 Key Results Different pedagogical approaches Consumed with other activities (Tapscott, 2009) Levels of Expectation (Blevins, 2014; McAlister, 2009; Stratton & Julien, 2014). Yearn for Belonging

22 Physically Present/ Mentally Dislocated Unspoken Peer Pressure Belonging Passive Learning Lack of Trust Wanting More

23 Implications for Nursing Need to belong hinders students from active engagement. Shared responsibility educational approach Blended teaching pedagogies that offer traditional and active methods (Blevins, 2014; McAlister, 2009; Stratton & Julien, 2014). Experiential learning (Montenery, et al., 2013). Peer Support Programs (Robinson & Niemer, 2010)

24 Future Research Further validation Examine different cultures/university Value of Relationship between professor/student Active teaching strategies/millennial success Educators perceptions Student centered Pedagogy

25 Limitations Population surveyed Homogeneity of the sample selection from one school Ethnicity of population Nursing students unique experience in classroom
