ABSTRACT
The present study identified the characteristics of allied health teachers across three generations. Using Q-methodology, a tripartite of characteristics as reflected by the three domains of learning emerged, namely, "the competence-centered teacher," "the empathetic teacher," and "the innovative teacher." Teachers across the three generations were described to be "competence-centered" since all believe to be well-qualified at their jobs. On the other hand, Generation Y teachers were described to be "empathetic" that show tough love to their students, whereas Generation Z teachers were branded as "innovative" due to their efficiency in using technology and their effective teaching strategies. Lastly, Generation X teachers were described to be the flexible generation being able to manifest all three characteristics of allied health teachers.
