樂齡學員自我導向學習經驗轉化之研究

Abstract

本研究為質性研究，採敘事方式進行一對一個別訪談，以立意取向共訪談五位 63~76歲參與自主學習團體的樂齡學員。從自我導向學習與經驗轉化的觀點，探討學員在參與樂齡大學結業後，仍自組學習團體自主學習多年的經驗轉化歷程。 研究發現如下： 一、樂齡學員生活經驗影響退休後之學習方式。 二、樂齡學員自我學習的主要學習傾向為喜愛學習、主動學習/自我瞭解、獨立學習，學習動機等。 三、生命歷程中遭逢重要契機事件，反思後而改變觀點，乃開啟觸發轉化學習行動。 四、學習困境多屬老化的健康問題；同儕則是樂齡學員最大的支持與關懷陪伴者。 五、年齡不是學習的阻礙，不願付諸行動才是學習最大絆腳石。 六、高齡者願意擴大學習生活圈，從自助到助人，才能發現自己的潛力。 七、樂齡學員主動參與自我學習，累積更多資源以因應未來需求，並延續活躍的社會生活；希望能帶動更多人參與「活到老、學到老」的終身學習。 根據上述研究結論，研究者於自我省思中給予樂齡大學之大專院校、樂齡自主性學習課程規劃及未來研究方向提出一些建議，希望可以提升我國高齡學習之發展。

The research is about qualitative study on narrative analysis by one-to-one individual interviews to explore the transformation process of senior learners.
