What
the old generation likes may not be the same as what the new generation prefers
in life, work and leisure. Sad to say, much of the good things enjoyed by
elders when they were students are no longer available to the new generation (Lucido, 2012).
In the field of
education, it is important that critical differences in perceptions between old
and young which create a generation gap need to be discussed. The old
generation has availed of slow and single track pattern of activities. On the
other hand the new generation is exposed to quick flicking video games, mobile
phone texting, socializing through the social websites, and downloading
text/music/photos/video with adeptness and task switching speed (Lucido, 2012).
Moreover, when it comes to learning, we
cannot avoid the fact that every individual has their own learning styles in
which they are accustomed to. That’s why teachers must also consider the
difference of each students in learning or their preferences in learning.
Teachers must take into consideration that technology is part of our day to day
lives.
Furthermore, because learners
preferred to learn in their own way amidst whether there is an involvement of
technology. The old traditional ways of learning still is not taken for
granted, one of these is going to the library to read and borrow books even if when one
can instantly download a PDF of any files that she/he wanted.
