Summary
Education is a process of acquiring knowledge, new skills and abilities and it is considered a lifelong activity. Exploring the learning styles of different generations is crucial, considering their unique characteristics and expectations, as their lives are inextricably linked to technology. The relevance of the topic is dictated by the evolutionary changes in recent years, which have significantly influenced the behaviour of educators and learners. The present study aims to identify the attitudes of different generations regarding the teaching approaches used in economics education. The authors review theoretical research in the field of teaching and learner attitudes; analyse the attitudes of teachers and the approaches they apply in teaching; study the perceptions of students of the three generations – X, Y and Z regarding learning methods and approaches; identify the main dependencies and justify the effective interaction between "teacher-student". The thesis of this study argues that, regardless of the differences in the characteristics of individual generations, teachers employ appropriate methods and approaches to enhance the quality of education and the satisfaction of economics students across the three generations. As a result of the survey and the correlation analysis, it was established that there is no relationship between the characteristics of the individual generations and the preferred learning methods. Simultaneously, distinctive generational characteristics do not affect attitudes toward acquiring new knowledge and skills during the educational process.
