Abstract Details

2014, Doctor of Education, Ashland University, College of Education.
A growing amount of research and literature supports a relationship between student success at the college level and the implementation of student-centered learning. Millennial students report higher levels of persistence and satisfaction in institutions that understand and try to adapt to their unique learning style, which is unlike the learning styles of their Boomer and Generation X faculty and administration (Debard, 2004; Noel & Levitz, 2009; Oblinger, 2003). What are institutional members of organizations such as the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) and the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) doing to understand and adapt to the change in generational trends and attitudes toward learning? Recent literature consistently indicates Millennial students have certain expectations about learning. Organizations must address these expectations so Christian higher education institutional effectiveness does not experience negative consequences in our changing global society.
