老年学员数字化学习障碍研究

A Study on Digital Learning Difficulties in Senior Learners

数字化时代赋予老年教育新的挑战,为全面提高老年学员数字素养水平,促进数字化城市建设。研究通过对G市老年开放大学60岁以上的老年学员进行问卷调查,了解老年学员的数字化学习情况与学习障碍。结果表明,老年学员参与数字化学习意愿强烈,数字化学习情况乐观,但其在数字化学习过程中仍面临着不同程度的障碍,老年学员数字化学习障碍主要包括内部性障碍(生理、心理和信息素养障碍)和外部性障碍(机构、家庭、供给和环境障碍)。通过对人口特征变量与老年学员数字化学习障碍进行分析,发现原有职业对老年学员数字化学习障碍有着显著性差异。针对以上研究结果,应采取相应措施破解老年学员数字化学习障碍,从而推动老年教育数字化发展。

The digitalized era now is presenting a new challenge to senior education.It is of great significance to increase senior learners'digital literacies,and promote the construction of a digitalized city.A questionnaire survey polls elderly students aged 60 or above at the Open University in G City,to understand their digital learning status quo.Findings indicate that while it is good to see these students have a strong desire to participate in digital learning,there are still some problems,which fall into two categories,internal difficulties including their physiological,psychological handicaps,and informational literacy barriers,and external threats out of institutions,families,supplies and environments.Results of analyses of demographic variables reveal that senior learners'previous occupation correlates highly with their learning obstacles.Thus,it is necessary to take measures to address these problems,and promote senior-oriented educational digitalized development.
