The research was conducted once a week for a total of five weeks from May 14 to June 11, 2018, and consisted of one old woman and one volunteer, and conducted in a one-to-one mentoring format. The results of this study showed that smartphone training for senior citizens increased the self-efficacy of older people, but showed no significant change in well-being and quality of life.

본 연구는 65세 이상 노인들을 대상으로 스마트폰 교육이 그들의 삶에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고, 일대일 교육 방식을 적용한 스마트폰 교육의 긍정적인 요소를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 수행 기간은 2018년 5월 14일~6월 11일 까지로 총 5주간 일주일에 1번, 1시간 30분 동안 진행하였고, 노인 1명과 봉사자 1명으로 구성하여 일대일 멘토링 형식으로 진행하였다. 본 연구의 결과 노인들을 대상으로 한 스마트폰 교육을 통해 노인들의 자기 효능감이 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었으나, 행복감과 삶의 질에는 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 이를 통해 빠르게 변화하는 현대사회에서 노인들을 긍정적인 삶의 유지를 위해 정보화 교육의 필요성을 인식시키고 노인들의 보다 나은 삶을 위해 다양한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.
