Abstract

This research investigates the transformative capacity of intergenerational education within the context of teacher training, accentuating the notion of Generational Intelligence (GI) as a fundamental framework for cultivating empathy, collaboration, and inclusivity among various generational cohorts. Utilizing a bibliometric mapping of 257 scholarly articles sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection (1988–2025), this study delineates the intellectual and thematic architecture of the discipline, pinpointing predominant keywords, prolific authors, institutional contributions, and international partnerships. The results highlight "intergenerational learning" as the pivotal thematic cornerstone and expose an interdisciplinary and emergent research domain characterized by a multitude of subfields, encompassing environmental education, family-oriented learning, and digital literacy. This investigation advocates for a systemic reevaluation of teacher education curricula to integrate intergenerational perspectives as both substantive content and pedagogical methodology. The study concludes that intergenerational engagement enhances teacher competencies, interrogates generational stereotypes, and fosters a more inclusive and sustainable educational environment

Özet

Bu araştırma, öğretmen eğitimi bağlamında nesiller arası eğitimin dönüştürücü kapasitesini incelemekte ve çeşitli nesil grupları arasında empati, işbirliği ve kapsayıcılığı geliştirmek için temel bir çerçeve olarak Nesil Zekası (GI) kavramını vurgulamaktadır. Web of Science Core Collection (1988–2025) kaynaklı 257 akademik makalenin bibliyometrik haritalaması kullanarak, bu çalışma disiplinin entelektüel ve tematik yapısını tanımlamakta, baskın anahtar kelimeleri, üretken yazarları, kurumsal katkıları ve uluslararası ortaklıkları belirlemektedir. Sonuçlar, “nesiller arası öğrenme”yi temel tematik köşe taşı olarak vurgulamakta ve çevre eğitimi, aile odaklı öğrenme ve dijital okuryazarlığı kapsayan çok sayıda alt alanla karakterize edilen disiplinler arası ve yeni ortaya çıkan bir araştırma alanını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu araştırma, nesiller arası perspektifleri hem içerik hem de pedagojik metodoloji olarak entegre etmek için öğretmen eğitimi müfredatının sistematik olarak yeniden değerlendirilmesini savunmaktadır. Çalışma, kuşaklar arası etkileşimin öğretmenlerin yetkinliklerini artırdığı, kuşak stereotiplerini sorguladığı ve daha kapsayıcı ve sürdürülebilir bir eğitim ortamı oluşturduğu sonucuna varmıştır.
