The Direction of Motivational University Education for Generation Z

Universities are striving to be faithful to their educational functions and roles in line with the changing needs of the times. Universities themselves are making various attempts to adapt to change and provide better educational conditions, and the biggest concern in the field of university education regardless of the times is to increase educational effectiveness. Since the effect of education is created by various educational environmental factors and various interactions of education-related subjects, understanding education stakeholders is essential. Currently, instructors and students have accumulated different experiences while living in a rapidly changing era, and as such, they have differences in lifestyle, values, and behavioral characteristics. This difference can create a gap between the aspect of providing education and participating in education and can reduce the educational effect. Therefore, in order to minimize this, this study attempted to suggest a motivation plan that reflects the characteristics of Generation Z based on a theoretical review of learning motivation. Based on this study, it is hoped that universities will be able to obtain ideas for the development, operation, and improvement of educational methods for better educational performance.
