Abstract
University lecturers reached the consensus that more outcome oriented and visual teaching is favoured by Generation Y. However, it is crucial to assess students’ perceptions about the effectiveness of various active and passive teaching methods, as their perceptions determine how students approach their learning, and as a result affect learning outcomes. In the theoretical part of the paper, previous empirical findings and conclusions about the effectiveness of different teaching methods (TM), as well as students’ preferences of teaching methods related to their generational membership and other demographic characteristics are reviewed. In the empirical part of the paper, the effectiveness of various teaching methods was assessed by 99 graduate program students in Management from the Faculty of Economics and Business Zagreb. Students’ perceptions are explored through a comprehensive list of 52 individual TM, as well as through TM bundles obtained through a factor analysis. As well, respondents’ perceptions were related to their demographic characteristics (gender, undergraduate and graduate grade point average (GPA), (relevant) work experience, and extracurricular engagement).
