How did you experience your school days in the past? Do you fondly remember those quizzes about Dutch topography? Or do you think back to your math lessons with an angry look? Everyone has their own memories of their school days. This depends, among other things, on your environment and educational frame of reference. The way you were taught also determines how you remember this. In this blog we will talk about the changed way of teaching. Are you curious? Then read on quickly.

Baby Boomers vs. Millennials

The baby boomer generation has been taught in a completely different way than the millennial generation. For example, the baby boomers sat in rows behind each other in class. They had to listen to the teacher, take notes and only speak when the teacher indicated. No attention was paid to children with dyslexia or dyscalculia, for example. They just had to go with the pace of the class. Couldn't keep up with the pace? Then they were simply unlucky.

Millennials, on the other hand, grew up in a completely different time. Working in groups, discussing and helping each other is characteristic of their way of learning. They are very articulate and are used to teaching themselves skills. In the time in which they grew up, personal development was central. Did a student have problems with math? He/she was then offered teaching material to improve his/her arithmetic skills. And a gifted student was given extra assignments so that he/she was challenged. He/she gained more in-depth knowledge and improved his knowledge and skills. The development of the individual was central to this generation.

The new learning: Performance-Driven Learning

The way of learning in education has changed significantly. And not only in education, a lot has changed in business too. You increasingly see the term Performance-Driven Learning in companies. What is Performance Driven Learning? This is a way of learning in which an employee learns by doing. He learns based on his performance and continuously develops to a higher level.

What is the effect of Performance-Driven Learning? Various studies have proven in recent years that employees in a Performance-Driven learning environment score higher than employees who follow a traditional training method. It is not without reason that many companies prefer to hire HBO-educated employees rather than university-educated employees. HBO is closer to practice.
