Abstract

This study covers the effectiveness of SNS utilization education for the elderly. Participants in the study conducted in-depth interviews with trainees currently participating in education and mentors of the same age who are working as assistive instructors. The study deals with whether SNS utilization education, which is considered difficult, can be a more valid class when an elderly person of the same age becomes a mentor and teaches a class. The results of the study said that it was a fun and rewarding education after using SNS for the elderly, free from fear of difficult devices due to the friendly consideration and empathy of the same age. If a mentor of the same age is used for education on SNS for the elderly, SNS education, which has been considered difficult and burdensome for the elderly, is expected to be activated with more flexible education.

본 연구는 노인을 위한 SNS 활용 교육의 효과성에 대하여 연구하였다. 연구 참여자는 현재 교육에 참여하고 있는 교육생과 보조 강사로 활동하고 있는 동년배 멘토를 연구대상으로 심층인터뷰를 하였다. 연구는 동년배 노인이 멘토가 되어 수업을 할 때, 어렵게만 생각하는 SNS 활용 교육이 보다 유효한 수업이 될 수 있는가를 연구하였다. 연구 결과는 노인 SNS 활용 교육 후 동년배의 친근한 배려와 공감으로 어려운 기기에 대한 두려움에서 벗어나 즐겁고 보람된 교육이었다고 한다. 노인 SNS 활용 교육에 동년배 멘토를 활용한다면 기기에 대한 두려움과 노인에게 어렵고 부담스럽게만 여겨지는 SNS 교육이 보다 유연한 교육으로 활성화 될 것으로 기대된다.
