Navigating the Digital Age: Insights from Gen X Educators in the Philippines
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 14, Issue 6
Abstract
The advent of the digital age thrust seasoned educators from older generations into a transformative educational landscape. Among these educators, Generation X (born approximately between 1965 and 1980) emerged as pivotal figures bridging the analog and digital eras. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this study delves into the narratives of Generation X educators in the Philippines who continue to teach in the digital age. The research aims to uncover the insights they have acquired throughout this transformative journey, both as individuals and as educators in the digital era. Thirteen Generation X educators, selected through volunteer sampling, participated in semi-structured interviews, and their data were subjected to thematic analysis. The research uncovers three prominent themes illuminating the evolving landscape of pedagogy and continuous learning, the pursuit of educational equilibrium, and the imperative of adaptation and thriving amidst change. These insights advocate for policies that foster pedagogical innovation, teacher training programs that empower educators with essential digital-age skills, and classroom practices that cultivate dynamic, reciprocal, and evidence-based learning environments. Implications for further research are also offered.
