Understanding Generation Alpha Traits We Don't Know About
First, let's learn about the characteristics of the Alpha Generation!

As we experience COVID-19, our physical and emotional connections with others have become looser.
Because of this, it is not easy to guide children, whether in class or in life guidance.
I sympathize with the situation in which the issue of the collapse of the authority of the church has occurred repeatedly.
I think that in order to guide children, whether in class or in life guidance, it is advantageous to first build a close relationship.
For that reason, I planned this book with the thought that understanding the Alpha Generation was necessary first.
Additionally, since this book focuses on life guidance rather than classroom guidance, it shares experiences through case studies on how to best guide children as a homeroom teacher or subject teacher.


How to Lead Classroom Life as a Homeroom Teacher
The class is another society.

After spending a year with children, you will begin to see their tendencies and characteristics, and the children will begin to understand each other and their classmates.
For example, I once had to mediate a fight between a friend with a T tendency and a friend with an F tendency because of their speech patterns. The atmosphere was serious at first, but after I explained our differences by talking about MBTI tendencies, it was successfully resolved and it didn't turn into a big issue.
At first, I wondered if this was the right system to use, but at the end of the school year, I felt proud when the children told me that the special seating arrangements were the most memorable part of our class activities.
Children in their teens are immature beings, soft and easily broken, like soft tofu.
I think that students who have deeply explored who they are and what their tendencies are can be helped to overcome that immaturity.
Also, because the classroom is another society, if the homeroom teacher understands the children's tendencies, they can get through the year more easily than anyone else.


How to Lead Class Life as a Subject Teacher
Children's initiative is the essence of class.


Even if it takes more time, the learning content becomes the learner's own when the class is filled with self-directed experiences rather than just listening to the teacher's explanations.
In a survey conducted at the end of each semester, the majority of students cite performance assessments as the most memorable class.
Although there were some trial and errors along the way, I felt that the classes in which I took the initiative were the most 'learning-worthy'.
Sometimes teachers focus so much on effectively conveying the lesson material that they lose sight of what is truly important.
We must not forget that true learning is accomplished through students' proactive participation and experiences, not through the teacher's explanations.

Our Child Guidance Method through Collaboration Between Teachers and Parents
Let's understand and cooperate with the parents of the MZ generation.

Just as there are different types of students in schools, parents also have different tendencies and needs.
Although they are different, they have a common goal.
Our children's happiness at school, and their happiness at school, in turn, helps them grow into good adults and become healthy members of society.
The teacher's goal is the same.
So we need to work together with parents.
The basis of collaboration is understanding each other.
When you understand the environment and values ​​your parents grew up in, it becomes easier to establish principles for conversation.
Listening, or attentive listening, is the most useful weapon in any relationship.
You need to be able to accurately pinpoint what parents want through listening.
And every student is precious.
We must show our valued students through praise.
Giving specific examples of a student's strengths, even if they are small, can help parents build trust in the teacher.
Advice from a trusted teacher can be invaluable information for parents.
