According to the Oxford Dictionary Generation

Gap is only a difference in attitudes between

people of different generations.

The Generation Gap is the accumulation of

differences, difficulties, and ideas between
people born during different time periods.

The gap between the old people

and the young
The Veteran Generation

born between 1925 - 1945

The economic and political uncertainty that

they experienced led them to be hard working,
financially conservative, and cautious.

They do not like the change, they are not very

risk tolerant, have a respect for authority and
hard work.

This generation set and obey the rules.

born between 1946 - 1964

were brought up in an abundant, healthy post-

war economy, becoming an egocentric
generation.

They saw the world revolving around them.

Their life style revolves around the fact that they

live to work. Balance is a quaint idea but not
really a possibility.
born between 1965 - 1980

Was the first generation raised on “to do lists” and

grew up with high rate of blended families.

They were also brought up in the shadow of the

influential boomer generation.

They witnessed their parents sacrifice greatly for their

companies.

In opposition to the hard driving Boomers who live to

work, they work to live and view the world with a little
cynicism and distrust.
born between 1981 and 2000

has been portrayed as the next big generation, an

enormously powerful group that has the sheer
numbers to transform every life stage it enters.

Generation Y (as well as X, to a lesser degree) is also

the first to grow up with computers and the Internet
as a significant part of their lives.

Constant experience in the networked world has had

a profound impact on their style in approaching
problem-solving situations.
The older generation often feels there is a generation
gap between them and the younger generation.

Still, some old things are difficult to overcome, as
there are still the caste system in India,

The Indian Caste System is historically one

of the main dimensions where people in
India are socially differentiated through
class, religion, region, tribe, gender, and
language.

 Even in education, traditional schooling has hardly
changed even with the clear evidence of a digital
world. Reflect on how some teachers confine their
teaching to the board talk-test method

The Features of Traditional Education

1. The students have to attend classes in the

university campus according to the schedule.
2. You have direct contact with the teachers and can
always ask the questions.
3. You have also contact with the classmates and to
discuss with them different things.
 The features of online/digital education

1. It is the best variant for busy people, as they

can study at the convenient place and
time according to their own schedule.
2. Online studying is not very expensive.
3. The locations does not play huge role and the
students can live in other any country of
the world.
4. Online students can control the duration and
pace of the studying process.
In the field of education. A huge generation gap
also exists and it will continue to widen unless some
changes are adopted at the proper time.
For example:
The educational curriculum in the Philippines is low
compared to other countries.

The reason why other countries are ahead of us in

the educational aspect is because of the K-12.

K-12 is a prolonged educational that allows the

students to learn more advanced subjects.

Adding K12 to the curriculum will enhance the

education of the country.
The adoption of the program (K-12) is
a riposte on ten-year basic education
cycle that engendered half-baked
graduates. With the old curriculum,
overseas Filipino workers are not
automatically recognized as
professionals in other countries
because they consider the ten-year
education program as deficient and
inadequate.
In peasant third world countries where schools don’t
have technology facilities, it is understandable that the
transition to digital education may take time. But given
the rapid emergence of digital technology, at times
referred to as information and communication
technology(ICT), there is the need to prepare for
bridging the digital gap in the society.

Information and Communication Technology

(ICT)
ICT can be defined as the use of hardware
and software for efficient management of
information. ICT refers to the forms of
technology that are used to transmit, store,
create, share or exchange particular task.
A person from village also can refer the latest
information and research everyday using the
internet.

Television broadcast is one of the best

communication media to educate students,
farmers, sportsman.

LCD projectors can be used for effective

training.
• The new network of instantaneous
communication is global, overcoming borders
between countries and continents.

• Much of what elders believe may not be

applicable anymore to the new generation,
especially along matters of traditional value
systems.
• Alvin Toffler’s book, Future Shock, shows how
the information age has begun to create many
cultural changes in the family, societies,
business, governments such as what he calls
the throw-away society, modular man, kinetic
image, scientific trajectory, fractured family,
surfeit of sub-cults, psychological dimension,
etc.
Given the speed of ICT for change, growth, innovation,
it becomes critical that teachers understand the gap
that may be perceived between them and the new
generation of learners.

Even in communication, sending a written letter has

become tedious with the advent of emailing and web-
camera face-to-face communication.

Since the new generations are expected to face a future

professional challenge of a digital world ahead of them,
technology-supported skills need to be taught in
schools today, or else schools will become a white
elephant.
If school fail to respond to emergent changes and
needs, new learners may lose appreciation of the
educational system, and drop out school, as surveys
show an increasing drop-out rate every year.
