NAVIGATING EDUCATION ERAS: GENERATIONAL COHORTS' APPROACH TO TEACHING STRATEGIES IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC'S SECONDARY EDUCATION

Abstract

Effective teaching strategies play a pivotal role in the dynamic process of learning and education. These strategies serve as essential tools to facilitate the transmission of knowledge and skills from teachers to learners. The spectrum of teaching strategies spans from active to passive methodologies, where active approaches engage learners directly in instructional activities, fostering deeper comprehension. This study examines the application and impact of teaching strategies across various subjects and educational levels. Key determinants influencing the selection of these strategies include resource allocation, technological integration, and instructional design.

Drawing inspiration from generational cohort theory, this research focuses on secondary school educators, investigating their employed teaching strategies. A comparative analysis is performed in relation to the generational groups of teachers, exploring shifts in instructional techniques and skills in the 21st century. This work extends the findings of Romanes & Veniegas and Bharati, delving into the variances among generational cohorts concerning attitudes, lesson preparation, and teaching approaches. The insights gained from this study contribute to the enhancement of teaching methodologies, catering to diverse learner preferences and the evolving educational landscape.
