The meaning of the term dissociation in chemistry is splitting of a compound (in water solution) in ions, radicals etc.

Thermal dissociation is the reversible process performed by heating and when the molecule is splitted generally in a single step.

What is the initial cause of the dissociation of water molecules into hydrogen and hydroxide ions?

The initial cause of the dissociation of water molecules into hydrogen and hydroxide ions is the breaking of the hydrogen-oxygen bonds within the water molecule due to thermal energy. This process is facilitated by the natural tendency of water molecules to ionize into H+ and OH- ions.
