博物館融入代間學習之因應方式

The Ways of Coping of the Museum into Intergenerational Learning

高齡人口老化，已成為趨勢，我們不得不注重此問題。博物館的教與學藉由高齡者代間學習的實施，可以減緩人口老化以及家庭結構變化的衝擊，以及增加高齡人力資源的再利用；並且，可以運用高齡者的智慧與經驗，讓高齡者的風華再現，能成功老化。本文從代間學習的意涵進行探討，並思維博物館教育融入代間學習的作用有（一）世代的融合與文化的傳遞，（二）資源的共享，減輕政府負擔，（三）解決跨世代的社會問題，（四）終身學習的達成。博物館運用高齡者的代間學習人力資源再運用，不僅可以使學習者主動去探索知識的本質、內容，更可以讓學習者在學習的歷程中，將自己的智慧啟發納入原有的認知結構，再加以組合及轉化，進一步產生新的認知結構及學習成果，成為自己建構之知識，進而發揮博物館之最大教育功能。
