Abstract: The purpose of this survey design research study was to assess the teaching styles of naturopathic medical (ND) faculty in terms of teacher-centered or learner-centered using the Principles of Adult Learning Scale (PALS). A secondary study question was the comparable differences in ND faculty teaching styles, and that of the published literature on Generation Z preferred teaching and learning. For this study, a three-part survey was sent to ND faculty--the Principles of Adult Learning Scale (PALS) to assess their teaching styles, technology type and frequency, and demographic. These three sections provide insight into how faculty operate in their classrooms in tandem with technology. Descriptive statistics were used to understand naturopathic faculty preferred teaching methods using the PALS instrument and frequency of technology. The sample size for the study was 41 full-time naturopathic medical faculty from the seven North American accredited naturopathic medical schools. Of those who completed the PALS portion of the survey, 85% reported using more teacher-centered strategies than learner centered strategies. The most often used technologies by faculty were material posted on websites such as a learning management system, with 28% of faculty posting using it on an average of 6-11 times per week. The least used technology was computer games, with 92% of faculty never using this tool. The data to understand the second research question, the comparison of technology to the preferences Generation Z, suggested that ND faculty need assistance in how to use technology in their instruction beyond the use of email and posting to a learning management system. As the largest generation to date as of 2020, Generation Z makes up to 40% of global consumers, making it necessary for naturopathic medical educators to consider matching their educational practices to the preferences of Generation Z students to ensure the future of prosperous workers and global contributors.
