Reversing University Training Cycles: Policy Implications from a “Fit-For-Purpose” Course for Generation Z

This study underscores the need for universities to adapt their teaching approaches to accommo- date the distinct characteristics of Generation Z. It proposes that universities should prioritize stu- dent satisfaction and achievement by crafting courses that specifically address the requirements of this generation. The research emphasizes the significance of implementing a diversified teaching strategy, encompassing the integration of spontaneous materials, flipped classrooms, massive open online courses (MOOCs), gamification, and simulated trading rooms to create an immersive learn- ing experience. The study also suggests that providing high-quality services can set universities apart in a competitive and diverse higher education market. Examining the needs of instructors and students as well as universities, this research aims to establish the groundwork for implement- ing new university policies that more effectively meet the demands of Generation Z.
