摘要

校園及學習場域因為COVID-19疫情關閉，教學活動面臨極大挑戰。為減少停課帶來的衝擊，大專院校及中小學將實體課程轉為遠距教學，幫助青年學子在疫情期間停課不停學。同樣教室被關閉的高齡者能否也運用遠距教學，維持防疫期間的繼續學習？遠距教學在疫情之前非主流選擇，高齡者對遠距教學尤其陌生。為瞭解疫情期間高齡遠距教學，規劃這項行動研究，研究分成三個階段，第一階段為視訊軟體教學，第二及第三階段在臺灣疫情升級關閉學習場域期間執行。研究參與者為6名樂器學習的高齡者，研究者以視訊軟體為主，搭配即時通訊軟體進行樂器演奏的遠距教學，透過視訊紀錄、教學者省思札記、群組對話紀錄及訪談進行動研究，瞭解實務執行的挑戰，並提出解決策略調整課程。研究發現防疫期間的突發狀況多，考驗教學者的因時制宜；最大的困難在於工具操作，加強操作的能力有助學習體驗；空間重疊、家人互動影響疫情期間的遠距教學，研究結果提供教育工作者及未來研究參考。

COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of nearly all campus and learning places, challenging the education system across the world. To lower the impact of learning loss, colleges, and middle and elementary schools have been shifting onsite classes to distance education. Have the older adults whose learning places have been closed used distance education to maintain their learning process during the epidemic prevention period? Distance education was not the primary choice before the pandemic, especially for the older adults. To investigate the role of distance education for the older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have conducted this research. The work is divided into three stages, the first stage focuses on the training of video communications app. The second and third stages cover distance education programs, while Taiwan raised its pandemic prevention and closed learning places. The age of six participants in this study, who are members of musical instrument curriculum, is over 65. The researcher taught how to play the musical instrument through video communications app and instant-messaging software during the pandemic. Data were collected from the video recorded, group chat from instant messages, teaching logs, and interviews. Based on the observations and feedback from students, the researchers modified the instructional design. The results show that, during the epidemic prevention period, unexpected situations frequently occurred testing teacher's ability to adapt to change. The main difficulty for the older adults is device operation, and enhancing the ability to operate is helpful to the learning experience. Distance education can be easily disrupted when family members are at home. Based on the findings of this study, practical suggestions have been provided to educators and for future studies.
