In the phenomenological study, intergenerational conflict was studied through semi-structured interviews with 10 generation X academicians and 15 generation Y postgraduate students at Ege University in Izmir during the 2017-2018 academic year. In today’s higher education, intergenerational gap between academicians and students leads to some conflicts in educational context. Overcoming and creating effective educational context by using intergenerational conflict may seem difficult but not insurmountable. Conflicts in higher education should be resolved rather than reducing, eliminating or limiting their existence. The aim of this study is to determine the subjects of intergenerational conflicts between generation X academicians and generation Y postgraduate students in higher education.  The results of the research revealed that generation Y postgraduate students experienced intergenerational conflict with generation X academicians in topics such as communication style, status differences, disagreements on teaching methods and technology literacy. Generation X academicians experienced intergenerational conflict with generation Y in themes such as the misbehaviors of postgraduate students, communication style, disrespect, technology literacy and students&#039; individualistic behaviors. According to the generation Y postgraduate students, the reasons of intergenerational conflicts are lack of empathy, miscommunication, being authoritarian and prescriptive. According to the   generation X academicians, the reasons of intergenerational conflicts are miscommunication, undisciplined behaviors and irresponsibility. The conflicts cause low motivation, burnout, unwillingness and drop out consequences in Generation Y postgraduate students on the other hand low motivation and depression consequences in generation X academicians.  As a result of the study, generation Y postgraduate students suggested to improve the communication skills to improve mutual understanding and to avoid destructive criticism against postgraduate students. The generation X academicians suggested to develop mutual understanding and respect and to avoid prejudices in communication.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Bu çalışmanın amacı yüksek öğretimde X kuşağı akademisyenler ile Y kuşağı lisansüstü öğrencileri arasındaki kuşaklar arası çatışmanın açığa çıkarılmasıdır. Fenomenolojik desendeki bu çalışmada, X kuşağı akademisyenler ile Y kuşağı lisansüstü öğrenciler arasındaki kuşaklar arası çatışma yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. Araştırmaya, İzmir ili Ege Üniversitesi&#039;nde 2017-2018 eğitim öğretim yılında 10 X kuşağı akademisyen ile 15 Y kuşağı lisansüstü öğrenci katılmıştır. Günümüz yüksek öğretiminde, akademisyenler ile lisansüstü öğrenciler arasında var olan kuşaklar arası fark, eğitim bağlamında çeşitli çatışmalara yol açmaktadır. Kuşaklar arası çatışmanın üstesinden gelmek ve çatışma çözümü yoluyla etkili ve yaratıcı eğitim ortamı oluşturmak zor görünebilir fakat aşılması güç bir engel değildir.  Yükseköğretimdeki çatışmaların düzeyinin azaltılması, yok sayılması ya da sınırlanması yerine çözülmesi en uygun davranıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yüksek öğretimde X kuşağı akademisyenler ile Y kuşağı lisansüstü öğrencileri arasında var olan kuşaklar arası çatışma konularının belirlenmesidir. Araştırma sonuçları, Y kuşağı lisansüstü öğrencilerinin X kuşağı akademisyenler ile iletişim tarzı, statü farklılıkları, öğretim yöntemleri konusundaki anlaşmazlıklar ve teknoloji okuryazarlığı gibi konularda kuşaklar arası çatışma yaşadıklarını ortaya koymaktadır. X kuşağı akademisyenlerin, Y kuşağı lisansüstü öğrencilerin hatalı davranışları, iletişim tarzı, saygısızlık, teknoloji okuryazarlığı ve lisansüstü öğrencilerin bireysel davranışları gibi konularda çatışma yaşadıkları görülmüştür. Y kuşağı lisansüstü öğrencilerine göre, kuşaklar arası çatışmaların nedenleri empati eksikliği, iletişimsizlik, otoriter ve kuralcı olmaktır. X kuşağı akademisyenlere göre ise, kuşaklar arası çatışmaların nedenleri iletişimsizlik, disiplinsiz davranışlar ve sorumluluklarını yerine getirmemeleridir. Çatışmalar, Y kuşağı lisansüstü öğrencilerde motivasyon düşüklüğüne, tükenmişliğe, isteksizliğe ve okulu bırakmaya ve X kuşağı akademisyenlerde ise motivasyon düşüklüğü ve depresyona neden olmaktadır. Araştırma sonucunda, Y kuşağı lisansüstü öğrencileri, lisansüstü öğrencilerine yönelik yıkıcı eleştirilerden kaçınılması gerektiğini, iletişim becerilerini ve karşılıklı anlayışı geliştirmeyi önermektedirler.  X kuşağı akademisyenler ise önyargılardan kaçınma, karşılıklı anlayış ve saygı geliştirmeyi ve önermektedirler.</p></trans-abstract>
