Author(s): Sarita Jidnesh Bhogare

Abstract:

Modern pedagogies are creative, imaginative, and successful teaching practices that transform how students understand by making teaching more interesting, personalized, powered by technology, and interrelated with real-world expectations. They go beyond traditional classroom teaching and promote innovative thinking, learning through participation, collaborative work, flexibility, and implementation in real life.

Born approximately between 1997 and 2012, Gen Z has been characterized as the most emotionally delicate and technologically connected generation. Their mental health is impacted by a variety of factors, including academic pressure, technology overload, social comparison, economic insecurity, and rapid social changes. Gen Z’s mental health is formed by a unique blend of digital life, pedagogic pressure, economic uncertainty, and social shifts. Compared to prior generations, people are more mindful, opinionated, and proactive about mental health despite suffering higher levels of stress and worry.

The given research paper describes many innovative tools for learning and development of Generation Z students in higher education. The paper also throws light on sustaining the mental health of this generation of children. Sustaining the welfare of students involves education reforms, family support, digital balance, and accessible mental health options. Students today (particularly Gen Z) expect immersive, digital, engaging learning. Education systems seek to improve innovation, analytical thinking, cooperation, and wellness. In higher education, innovative teaching methodologies promote involvement in learning, critical thinking, individualization, application in real-life, and going beyond conventional lecture-based instruction.
