The article also highlights that this generation values self-directed learning, creativity and adaptability, utilising online resources, social media and visual language as natural forms of expression. Their proactive attitude also extends to entrepreneurship and embodies a do-it-yourself ethos, making them unique individuals who are constantly striving to improve themselves and acquire new skills. The study also seeks to highlight that most educators, especially those with some experience in the teaching profession, seek to adapt and update their teaching strategies because they are aware that technology can be used as a tool to increase learner engagement and improve learning outcomes.
