Dr Yvonne Couch - Pedagogy For Gen Z

Dementia researcher with a blogger narrating.

Pedagogy for Gen Z. Wasn't that a snazzy title? This one I'm actually writing way back in May when I came across a Times Higher Ed article that I sent to a variety of colleagues and, by doing so, annoyed them intensely.

But let's not rush into the today we're going to talk about bit before we do some definitions for both ends of the spectrum.

For the young people listening, pedagogy is the theory and practice of teaching and learning, essentially how knowledge is taught, shared and understood.

For the old people listening, Gen Z is apparently anyone born after 1997.

I know it's horrifying, right? I was actually just old enough to remember the general election results from that year.

So hopefully it's obvious that today we're going to talk about whether we need to adapt the way we teach the young people of today.
