Modern approaches to resolving intergenerational conflict in education: innovations and practical recommendations

Intergenerational conflict is a pressing challenge requiring a nuanced understanding of modern scientific discourse. The purpose is to identify modern approaches to this intergenerational conflict and to formulate recommendations for resolving misunderstandings within the higher education system. The type of research is quantitative, which involves a semi-structured survey. A purposive sample was used to include participants. The study participants comprise teachers (n = 35) and administrative representatives (n = 15). A total of 50 individuals participated. The survey was conducted in person in December 2024. The results show that most respondents are somewhat dissatisfied with the current level of cooperation between different generations of teachers. The primary reason for the emergence of generational conflict is the differing communication styles. The survey results show that all participants in the educational process recognize the negative impact of generational conflict on the organization of the educational process, especially. Administrative staff of educational institutions generally understand the importance of overcoming the consequences of generational conflict. A possible direction is to engage actively in intergenerational educational and research projects. The conclusions emphasize that this will contribute to establishing more effective mutual understanding among the teaching staff.
