The rapid transformation of digital technologies has confronted educational systems with the challenge of a technological generational gap that, in contemporary contexts, has evolved beyond a mere problem into a professional and institutional imperative in education. This study aims to explain the mechanisms underlying the formation of the technological generational gap and to propose a comprehensive model for educational settings. An exploratory mixed-methods design was employed.
In the qualitative phase, drawing on Grounded Theory, data were collected through 17 semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, along with one focus group comprising faculty members from Alborz Farhangian University. Data were analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding procedures. Following the establishment of qualitative rigor through triangulation, the analysis resulted in the identification of 19 categories and 57 final indicators, organized within causal conditions, the core phenomenon, contextual conditions, strategies, intervening conditions, and consequences.
Based on the qualitative findings, a measurement instrument was developed. In the quantitative phase, data were collected from 386 valid teacher responses and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) via SmartPLS software. The results indicate that narrowing the technological generational gap extends beyond individual teachers’ skill development and requires structural reforms, organizational support, redefinition of teachers’ professional roles, and targeted educational strategies.
Overall, the final model provides a coherent framework for understanding and managing the technological generational gap, emphasizing that teachers’ adaptation to technological change is not optional but an inevitable necessity for improving educational quality and meeting the needs of Generation Z in contemporary learning environments.
