From Dreams to Realization: The Transformative Processes of Retirees’ Learning Experience

退休後的學習相當自主多元，能在不同學習形式之間選擇及流動。本研究目的是探討退休者學習經驗轉換歷程，包含學習動機、學習形式的轉換與意義。本研究選擇九位年齡介於56～77歲，且退休後曾參與正規、非正規及非正式學習的高齡學習者進行訪談。研究結果顯示：一、退休後的初始學習動機會受過去經驗影響，轉換期的動機主要由未來的目標而產生；二、從退休初始期到轉換過程，受訪者歷經多次學習形式轉換，經反思產生新的行動與意義；三、經由持續參與及學習轉換過程，使退休者達到成功老化、學習新知、貢獻影響及實現與超越之滿足。

Postretirement learning styles seem autonomous and diverse; therefore, retirees can select among and follow such learning styles. The aim of this study was to explore the transformative learning processes of retirees’ learning experience, including learning motivation, learning styles, and meanings. We conducted semistructured interviews with nine older adult learners (age range: 56-77 years) who participated in formal and informal learning programs after retirement. The study results are summarized as follows: (1) Prior experiences influenced initial learning motivations after retirement, and future goals constituted the primary motivation for learning transformation. (2) From early retirement to the transformative period, the interviewees experienced diverse learning styles, which subsequently prompted them to develop new actions and meanings through self-reflection. (3) Through postretirement learning, retirees achieved successful aging, gaining new knowledge, deriving satisfaction from their contributions, and gaining self-fulfillment and transcendence through continuous participation in transformative learning processes.
