| Summary: | 碩士 === 義守大學 === 資訊管理學系 === 106 === According to the data from the Ministry of the Interior (2015), Taiwan is facing with the problem of population ageing and the number of elderly adults who live alone has risen rapidly. Moreover, with the popularization of digital and technology products, almost everyone has a smart phone in our society nowadays. However, most middle-aged adults are inexperienced at operating smart phones, thus they cannot use them to improve the convenience of day to day life and enrich their retirement lives. Therefore, this study uses the technology acceptance model and innovation diffusion theory to explore the influence perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, compatibility, trialability, and observability on the intention of digital learning for the middle-aged and elderly adults. The results of the study showed that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, compatibility, trialability, and observability had a significant positive effect on the intention of digital learning. It shows that most middle-aged and elderly adults have a positive attitude on digital learning and are willing to continue learning.
Finally, this study offers concrete suggestions to enhance the willingness of middle-aged and elderly adults to participate in digital learning, as well as the results can provide references for the relevant government in planning and implementing digital learning courses for the middle-aged and elderly adults in the future.
