Adultos mayores, Competencias digitales, Empoderamiento, CiudadaníaResumen
El objetivo de este artículo es identificar las competencias imprescindibles para empoderar al colectivo senior mediante la garantía de su ciudadanía digital. Se propone una triangulación metodológica apoyada en una revisión sistemática de la literatura, una observación participante con 45 adultos mayores, usuarios de la plataforma Canal Sénior, y una encuesta abierta de corte cualitativo, aplicada a 24 de tales sujetos. Los resultados reflejan como prioritario el fortalecimiento de tres competencias: Seguridad digital; comunicación digital; y gestión de información sanitaria disponible online. Estos hallazgos manifiestan la escasez de formación para el desarrollo de un uso crítico de las tecnologías por parte de los adultos mayores. El cambio en las formas de comunicar y de acceder a información requiere satisfacer la demanda de los seniors con nuevos conocimientos y habilidades. El presente estudio permite vislumbrar las carencias digitales de este sector poblacional, pero también desvela la necesidad de profundizar al respecto.
