MVPx2: A Proposed Feedback Model for Millennial Students

Abstract

Increasingly, today's adult online college student is a Millennial possessing high self-esteem but low self-efficacy as cognitive characteristics. This work examines research into these cognitive differences, Bandura's self-efficacy theory, and the role of instructor feedback aimed at improving self-efficacy and self-directedness among these adult students. A resulting feedback model is offered for application in online education to ad- dress these challenges and improve persistence.
