Temporaalisesti, kriittisesti, tunteikkaasti
Senioreiden medialukutaitoja koskeva tutkimus on viime vuosina lisääntynyt. Aiempi tutkimus on kuitenkin ongelma- ja vajekeskeistä, eikä se ole riittävästi huomioinut senioreiden taitoja kriittisesti arvioida medioita. Artikkeli vastaa tähän tutkimustiedon tarpeeseen, ja siinä tarkastellaan voimavaranäkökulmasta, kuinka seniorit kuvailevat ja arvioivat medioita ja mediasisältöjä. Tutkimusaineistona on Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seuran kanssa yhte…

Older People’s Media Repertoires, Digital Competences and Media Literacies
Digital media are part of everyday life and have an intergenerational appeal, entering older people’s agendas, practices, and habits.

This study explored older people’s media use and reperto…
