“…A ausência de motivação, segundo Kim (2008) dos idosos em utilizar o computador relaciona ao fato de que eles viveram a maior parte de suas vidas sem o mesmo. Para Bez, Pasqualotti e Passerino (2006) é paradoxal que frente aos avanços tecnológicos enfrentados no século XXI, ainda tenha-se que justificar que a inclusão digital promove a inclusão social.…”

Abstract. This research project has as delimiting central theme and also central question whether digital inclusion of elderly enable increasing their aesthetic education. Being its specific goals study what is aesthetic education, using the theoretical framework the German philosopher Friedrich Schiller, conceptualize what is senior and define digital inclusion. Its relevance is the increment that Beauty favors the increased awareness of self, others and their environment. The population and sample will be among the students of the University of maturity (UMA), extension course of Pedagogy of the University of Tocantins in Palmas / TO campus and as a sample of eighteen individuals without mental abnormalities or loss, of both sexes, above sixty years. A qualitative study will be used as a qualitative methodological strategy the Focus Group. The data will be analyzed in order to assess the perception of the respondents in relation to specific goals. Case study. The project will be submitted to the Ethics Committee on Human Research of the Federal University of Tocantins as required by Resolution 196/96 of the National Health Council under No. 179/2012 and shall be applied only after approval. Have hypothesized that through digital inclusion the elderly will have more access to different forms of arts and therefore broaden the chances of their meeting with the aesthetic education.

“…Class designs range from one-to-one tuition (Laganà, 2008) to small group teaching (White et al, 2002) with varying levels of participant prior knowledge, programme duration and goal setting (Kim, 2008). The differing training experience of teachers from one study to another also complicates comparison.…”

“…Kim (2008) states that older people's motivation to enrol in a computer class is often rooted in motivation to use a computer and thus a significant overlap between the two could be expected. Existing literature in this field will now be discussed, followed by a consideration of the gaps in knowledge on this topic.…”

Computer classes for older people: motivations and outcomes. ABSTRACTPurpose: A 'digital divide' exists between older and younger people in terms of computer use and older people's uptake of computer training programmes in the UK remains low. This study aims to identify the motivations and outcomes of computer classes for some older people and the contributory factors.Design/methodology/approach: One-to-one qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants at a computer class in a London community centre. Using a topic guide interview transcripts underwent thematic analysis. The theoretical perspective of 'ageing in place' (the ability to stay in one's own home in later life) was used when interpreting the findings.Findings: Participants had been motivated to attend the class initially to gain computer skills. Initial motivation was influenced by the death of a spouse and the desire to remain mentally active. The main outcome by the class was acquisition of computer skills. Psychological and social benefits were also reported, the latter constituting motivation for continued attendance. Computer ownership and gender differences in preferred teaching style influenced class outcomes. Research limitations and implications:Although this was a small sample comprising older people solely from one community, participant backgrounds varied and the findings suggest that further research with a larger, more culturally heterogeneous sample would be valuable. Originality/value:Computer classes benefit older people wishing to learn computer skills which may facilitate 'ageing in place'. There has been little research in this area.

Training older workers: Lessons learned, unlearned, and relearned from the field of instructional design

Changing workforce demographics have highlighted the need to provide training and development opportunities for older workers. This article critically examines the current state of research on the use of systematic instructional design procedures to develop work‐related training that is inclusive of older workers. The review reveals a disconnect between what the literature recommends to achieve age‐inclusive design and what is offered as evidence of age‐inclusive design. Age‐related generalizations about cognition and learning capacity often serve as the basis for design decisions, with little attention paid to the role of training context and content. The article recommends that this disconnect be resolved and offers some specific suggestions about how human resource managers can integrate sound instructional design principles into the training and development component of their talent management strategies. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
