Enhancing learning for Gen z students through active learning: an analysis of student perspectives

Abstract

The research aims to achieve two objectives: to evaluate the implementation of good teaching practices that use active learning strategies for Gen Z students and to recommend appropriate teaching practices for their needs. The study focuses on the strategic management accounting course and analyses both quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching practices. The results demonstrate that students were highly satisfied with the active learning strategies implemented in the course. Qualitative data shows that the students felt that they were the centre of the learning process, and that their learning experiences were enhanced. The study also offers suggestions to instructors on how they can modify their communication styles and classroom management techniques to create a better learning environment for Gen Z students.
