Abstract:
With the arrival of the digital era, how to resolve the contradiction between the digitization of life and the aging of society, and to help the high-quality cultivation of digital literacy of the elderly has become an imminent problem. Taking the elderly in Haining City as the research object, we found that the cultivation of digital literacy of the elderly in Haining City is facing a number of problems through investigation and research, and then on this basis, we propose that the government needs to give full play to its leading role and actively establish a lifelong education system; build a dual learning channel online and offline; open a specialization in education for the elderly in cooperation with the school and the local community; and the family and the society need to enhance the strength of the digital feedback to build a good atmosphere of learning for the elderly, etc. The paths are as follows. In order to provide practical suggestions for the high-quality cultivation of digital literacy of the elderly in Haining City.
