“…As active participants, they exert an influence as consumers who are purchasing the commodity of higher education thus creating the phenomenon of student entitlement. While these terms may bring shudders to some faculty members, there appears to be a very real trend of students behaving as customers and attempting to take control of their learning experiences (Carlson 2005;Feiertag and Berge 2008;Stewart 2009). While this trend might not be a surprise given the characteristics of Millennials as described in many published studies and cited in this article, the comments made by the focus group participants add to our understanding of the richness and complexity of today's entitled students and show us how these students feel about things on their side of the equation.…”

“…Literature on Millennials explains this confidence as characteristic of this generational cohort (e.g., Feiertag and Berge 2008;Howe and Strauss 2007;Stewart 2009). Their disposable income and access to technology has made them targets of aggressive marketing campaigns that have taught them that what they think about nearly everything matters and will, if expressed, effect change (Feiertag and Berge 2008).…”

“…While there are many interesting facets of this generational cohort, one theme repeatedly emerges: choice and control. Millennials expect to have choices and to control those choices (Carlson 2005;Feiertag and Berge 2008;Rickes 2009;Stewart 2009). When paired with the often cited bent toward instant gratification, this expectation of choice and control helps to place entitlement, as it manifests itself by the Millennials' arrival in higher education, within the current sociocultural context (Shaw and Fairhurst 2008;Feiertag & Berge).…”

Academic entitlement, an attitude marked by students' beliefs that they are owed something in the educational experience apart from what they might earn from their effort, has received attention recently in the literature. In previous work, academic entitlement has been shown to be related to parenting styles and personality constructs. The current study departs from previous research by taking a phenomenological approach to understanding academic entitlement. Focus groups were conducted with a total of 52 first-year students. Responses were coded into six facets of academic entitlement: product value of education, social promotion, role of professors, teaching assistants, administrators, and shoppers or scholars.

“…Educators must continue to examine ways to incorporate new technologies, new modes of communication, and engagement and interaction into the learning environment. Stewart (2009) suggested that faculty find the right balance between challenge and support in the classroom. Table 2 describes learning characteristics and suggested teaching strategies for learning enhancement.…”

Before I plunge right into the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning project that I developed in physician assistant (PA) education at my previous institution, I would first like to explain what physician assistants are and their role in health care in the United States. A physician assistant is a nationally board-certified medical provider who is licensed to practice medicine with the supervision of a practicing physician. They are trained in the medical model much like a physician. PAs deliver a broad range of medical and surgical services to diverse rural and urban populations. They can elicit patient histories, perform physical examinations, order and interpret labs and diagnostic tests, treat patients with acute illness and chronic disease, write hospital orders, write prescriptions, make referrals, provide patient education, perform specific clinical procedures, and assist with surgical procedures. PAs practice in every discipline of medicine and are employed in medical offices, hospitals, community health centers, surgical centers, hospice, home health care, correctional facilities, industrial work sites, armed forces, public and Indian health service, federal government, medical sales, research, education, and international medicine.Physician assistant education generally encompasses 25-30 months of educational training and culminates with a graduate-level professional degree. Generally, the first 12-15 months is didactic or classroom-based education and the last 15-18 months is clinical-based training in a combination of inpatient and outpatient medical facilities. The didactic phase begins with some basic science and basic medical courses involving pharmacology, anatomy, physiology; and then progresses to more advanced coursework including clinical medicine, diagnostic interpretation, emergency medicine, surgical medicine, and pharmacotherapy. The clinical phase of the program entails students working with practicing physicians and physician assistants in medical disciplines like family practice, internal medicine, NEW DIRECTIONS FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING, no. 139, Fall 2014
