?:abstract
  • This chapter aims to increase the current understanding of adults’ individual learning pathways and needs, when they adapt to new technology. In this chapter, we review adults’ overall technology-skills and depict, through chosen examples, how adults have adapted to the technological change in their working lives. We present prior research on the challenges that the Fourth Industrial Revolution poses to adults’ further education, and based on the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), we review adults’ problemsolving skills in technology-rich environments. We analyse interviews of adults, who participated in initial education, to show how focal considerations, such as the usability of new technology, the economic or personal advantages of technology, and the social factors pertaining to the use of technology are influential for adults, when learning about and implementing new technology. Overall, the findings indicate the importance of design-based education and the need for companies to flexibly address adults with skill-shortages and adults who need to develop their problem-solving abilities in technology-rich environments.
