Abstract

The purpose of the study is to highlight how teachers think about the students they teach while taking into consideration that the students belong to the digital generation. Furthermore, the aim of the research is to explore primary school teachers' perceptions of the digital education they experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. To reveal the subconscious views towards digital education and generation, qualitative spontaneous metaphor analysis is used, and the sample consists of 50 primary school teachers. According to the results, low primary school teachers’ opinions show that digital education is a good opportunity (a), but they feel (b) ambivalence, and they also face a number of (c) difficulties. Digital generation represents the characteristics of a new generation, for whom the professional use of tools is essential, and therefore, educational pedagogy needs to change. The results of this small-scale study provide informative data for both primary school teachers, the teaching-learning process in educational circumstances, and even teacher training at universities.
