From the point of view of the applied goal, the study has a qualitative approach and a research synthesis method. Sampling was purposeful and based on the entry criteria in the period of 2000-2020 and 2019-2020. The exploration community of 145 papers and theses was linked and grounded on the exit criteria of 65 exploration papers, named as samples for analysis. Data analysis was done grounded on Roberts' 6- step model. Two observers were used to recode the findings, order was used to confirm the Cohen's Kappa measure formula, and the agreement between the observers was 0.74..Based on the known codes, the composition of the curriculum tailored to the characteristics of a generation z need. Features embrace 17components and 4 principles (generational concept of generation-z characteristics, generational preferences, and generational needs) and a curriculum suitable for generation-z characteristics with 27 components and 10 topics including argument, goals, curriculum orientation, content, learning activity and experience, characteristics of generation z teachers, teacher training trends, teacher professional development, adaptation to educational environments, digital learning tools, and resources.
