“…Of the 12 included studies, 58.3% (n=7) adopted quantitative methodologies (Betony & Yarwood, 2013;Bloomfield et al, 2018;Bloomfield et al, 2015;Larsen, Reif, & Frauendienst, 2012;Mackey et al, 2018;van Iersel et al, 2018a;Wojnar & Whelan, 2017), 33.3% (n=4) used qualitative approaches (Albutt, Ali, & Watson, 2013;Ali, Watson, & Albutt, 2011;Duah, 2015;Keleher, Parker, & Francis, 2010) and 8.3% (n=1) used a mixed methods approach (Cooper et al, 2014) (Table 2).…”

“…Three studies reported data specifically around undergraduate nursing students' knowledge and attitudes toward PHC (Duah, 2015;Mackey et al, 2018;van Iersel et al, 2018a), whilst three other studies reported knowledge and attitudes as part of a broader study (Bloomfield et al, 2015;Cooper et al, 2014;Wojnar & Whelan, 2017).…”

“…Knowledge scores were shown to be higher in Australian-born students and those enrolled in a metropolitan university (Mackey et al, 2018). Nursing students appreciated the societal importance of PHC (Mackey et al, 2018;van Iersel et al, 2018a), and correctly associated community nursing with health promotion, education and low patient acuity (Duah, 2015).…”

“…Some studies suggest that 'mature' should signify students who are older than this, for example above 30 (e.g. Mackey et al, 2018). Baxter and Britton (2001) define mature students are those who enter HE at an age of 26 or above.…”

Bringing technology to the mature classroom: age differences in use and attitudes

Mature students are anecdotally thought to be more anxious about technology than younger students, to the extent that they avoid using technology. This is a problem in today's higher education classrooms which often use a range of learning technologies, particularly as cohorts are becoming more and more likely to contain mature students. Previous work examining the attitudes of mature students to technology no longer reflects contemporary student age profiles or the current technological landscape. This study asks whether modern mature students in a UK university have more negative attitudes towards technology than younger students, and whether their usage of technology is different. A new diagnostic instrument, the Technology Attitudes Questionnaire, was developed to determine how students use technology for course activities and personal use, and their attitudes towards technology more generally. It was found that mature students use fewer technologies than younger students and use them less frequently, but have used them for a longer period over their lives. No difference was found for attitudes towards technology between the mature and younger groups. This research aims to contribute to the wider field of technology attitudes and use, particularly for the modern mature student cohort. These findings can be used to inform how educators design learning resources and use technology on their courses, working towards an age-inclusive programme. IntroductionThis paper conducts a timely exploration of students' attitudes towards digital technology and how students use technology, using a new instrument designed for purpose. It asks whether mature students have more negative attitudes towards technology than younger students, and how the usage differs between these two groups. It will be of use to educators who are designing resources using technology for use in higher education (HE) classrooms, which are more and more likely to contain mature students as part of a changing cohort. Additionally, it makes a wider contribution to the study of technology attitudes and use, an ongoing field that is continually changing with the evolving technology landscape and a changing student cohort.
