Abstract:
With the rapid development of technology and continuing aging of the world population, lifelong learning of older adults using technology has attracted more attention in recent years. This study adopted a systematic review approach to explore research addressing the lifelong learning of older adults using technology from 2010 to 2021. This review aimed to analyze and reveal the characteristics and themes of contemporary research on technology-aided learning of older adults while also determining possible gaps in the existing body of literature. Key findings include an increased interest among educators, academic researchers, and social work practitioners in several countries/regions in promoting formal and experiential lifelong learning opportunities and the digital inclusion of older adults. With a clear understanding of reviewed research, this review concludes with evidence-based suggestions for future research into the lifelong learning of the global aging population. It informs the practice of lifelong learning by tapping into the power of technology with more precise and meaningful approaches.
