What is Generation Alpha?

In 2005, Mark McCrindle, an Australian demographer, and his team conducted a national survey, which resulted in “Generation Alpha” being the most popular choice. The name was explained referring to other science disciplines, where after “exhausting” the Roman alphabet and Arabic numerals, the Greek alphabet was used.

Technology is changing at a blistering pace and is impacting on the way we consider knowledge as a free commodity, along with the ability to apply skills, concepts and understandings. Technology is aiding the way the world is evolving, and its contributions to education are not an exemption. While technology advances will play a crucial part in future teaching-learning approaches, educators will also be challenged by the next higher-education generation, the Alpha Generation. This entrepreneurial generation will embrace the innovation, progressiveness, and advancement with the expectation that one in two Generation Alphas will obtain a university degree. In anticipating the educational challenges and opportunities of the future higher education environment, this research reflected on Generation Alpha as the next cohort of university students, considering their preferred learning styles, perceptions and expectations relating to education. The research employed a theoretical analysis based on the characteristics and traits that distinguishes Generation Alpha, spearheaded by technology advances. The empirical investigation considered three independent studies that were previous conducted by authors from Slovakia, Hungary, Australia, and Turkey to understand the challenges and opportunities pertaining to Generation Alpha. The research identified the influence of social media, social connections, high levels of perceptions and the Generation Alpha’s ability to interpret information as strengths to consider in future teaching-learning approaches in the higher education environment. This research concluded with recommendations on how universities could be transformed to ensure a better learning experience for Generation Alpha students, aligned with their characteristics, perceptions and expectations.

What are the features of Generation Alpha?

"Born in a rapid technological era, as compared to their parents, Gen Alpha presents exciting combination of opportunities, adventure, and explorations for the future. Driven socially, Gen Alpha share their life and thoughts publicly and knows no boundaries. They will presumably grow up being creative and unconventional. Given the zeitgeist in prospect, probably, the need for achievement, autonomy, and recognition, along with competitiveness, narcissism, ambiguity intolerance, impulsivity, attention-seeking, and risk-taking behavior will probably predominate and become salient in Gen Alpha with the passage of time. With proper parenting and guidance, the prerequisite is to install in them the right virtues and values, which are in line with the societal and traditional ethos. It is essential to inculcate in them the essence of being human, managing emotions, forming stable relationships, and a healthy-assimilation with technology in daily life. With the right mix of outdoor activities including play and forest bathing, regulated use of technology, authoritative parenting, education and instilling the 21st-century skills namely adaptability, curiosity, critical thinking, persistence, teaming, social, and cultural awareness (World Economic Forum, 2016) will go long in shaping them to be an asset for family, society, country, and the world in future."

Jha, A. K. (2020). Understanding Generation Alpha.

"The kids of Gen Z and Gen Alpha seem to do things differently in a way that it's hard to put a finger on. They're definitely more tech-savvy. A lot of their interests seem related to socializing through video games and the internet. It's kind of hard to grasp for me when those things weren't available to me on the same level until I was considerably older. It makes me wonder what, if any, difference it'll play in what they take away from their childhoods."

"What is most important about this generation is the digital environment they are being born into. Technology is a part of their everyday lives, influenced by parents, educators and many other social interactions. The concept of “connection” is central to this generation, even more so than their predecessors Generation Z. Another term used to describe this generation comes from the nickname digital natives."

Tootell, H., Freeman, M., & Freeman, A. (2014, January). Generation alpha at the intersection of technology, play and motivation. The 47th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (pp. 82-90). IEEE.

"Meanwhile, Gen Z learners were born in a world that has been completely connected by the Internet. They may be pursuing undergraduate programmes and are unable to imagine what life is like without Internet access. We should be cognisant of Generation Alpha students, who are waiting to enter higher education institutions."

"By 2025, two billion of the global population is going to be made up by the youngest generation: Generation Alpha, also known as the iGeneration. Generation Alpha are children born between 2010 and 2025. This is the first generation entirely born in the 21st century. These children are considered to be the most technological-infused demographic up to date. Generation Alpha use technology, smartphones, tablets, and computers naturally. They haven't known life without the Internet or video games. Some of them live in smart homes and talk to a Smart Voice Assistant every morning before going to school."
