TEACHING GENERATION ALPHA: EMERGING PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES

Sep 2026 · EPRA International Journal of Research & Development (IJRD) · pp. 22 · 0 citations

Abstract

Generation Alpha consists of children born from 2010 until 2025. It is the first generation of students to grow up completely in an era described by ubiquitous digital technology, artificial intelligence, high-speed internet, smart devices, and hyper-connected settings. In this regard, the present paper examines new pedagogical perspectives for Generation Alpha, which are based on the unique features of their cognitive, social, and epistemological abilities. The research, which involves a systematic review of current literature on the subject, identifies the most important theoretical models of education, including constructivism, connectivism, and digital native learning model. They underpin modern educational methods, such as gamification, adaptive personalized learning, collaborative projects and immersion in AR/VR environments. The study points out the need to transition from the traditional approach of content delivery to a student-centered, skills-based one.
