探討高齡學習者參與大學代間方案之代間交流態度

Investigating the Intergenerational Exchange Attitudes of Elder Adult Learners Participating in an Intergenerational Learning Program at a University

本研究採量化研究，探討高齡者參與大學代間方案之代間交流態度。研究對象為24位平均年齡介於60-65歲的高齡學習者，經由參與大學代間方案課程後，進行代間交流態度量表施測。研究目的主要是要了解高齡者對年輕世代的互動和交流的態度和觀點。其結果顯示參加代間方案是利於良好的代間交流並建構良好的態度。本研究之量表施測所得資料屬小樣本，且經K-S檢定發現不為常態分配，除描述性統計外，以無母數之檢定處理數據以求貼近真實結果，所得之研究結論如下:一、高齡者的「代間交流態度」整體及分量表的「雙向互動」與「雙向態度」皆屬於中上程度。二、高齡者代間交流態度的「雙向互動」與「雙向態度」二層面具正相關。三、「性別」、「年齡」、「與孫輩同住」等背景變項，在「代間交流態度的整體」及分量表中的「雙向互動」與「雙向態度」，均未呈現顯著差異之情形。最後針對未來的大學、高齡者與後續研究提出建議。

This quantitative research is to investigate the intergenerational attitudes of older adults participating in university intergenerational programs. In this study, 24 older adult learners with an average age of 60-65 was asked to fill a questionnaire on intergenerational exchange attitude upon their completion of the program in order to understand their attitudes and perspectives toward the interaction and communication between themselves and younger generations. Results were presented after descriptive statistics: 1. The "bi-directional interaction" and "bi-directional attitude" of the overall and subscale of the "intergenerational exchange attitude" of elder adult learners are in the upper-middle level. 2. Both "bi-directional interaction" and "bi-directional attitude" are positively correlated with intergenerational exchange attitude in the elder adult learner. 3. Background variables such as "gender," "age," and "living with descendants" did not demonstrate significant differences between "bi-directional interaction" and "bi-directional attitude" of the overall and subscale of "intergenerational exchange attitude". Base on the findings, recommendations are made for prospective universities, elder adult learners, and future research.
