Abstract: There has been a growing global focus on student learning outcomes. Research has also shown that the current generation in higher education has significantly different learning characteristics than its predecessors. It then becomes essential to understand this generation’s learning attributes that can provide useful guidance in designing teaching pedagogies for this generation. We specifically study goal orientation, learning affectivity, competition and trust in this generation. The findings indicate that this generation significantly differs from the previous generation on the attributes of trust and competition. Gen Y was found to be more competitive and less trusting than Gen X.
