Study on the Development of “Trinity” Elderly Education in the Context of Global Informatization

Abstract

Promoting the high-quality development of geriatric education is the value tendency of the national aging policy, and it is the proper meaning of practicing the concept of positive aging and the necessary way to build a lifelong education system. This paper constructs a “three-in-one” geriatric education community from the three dimensions of schooling, teaching and learning and establishes a geriatric education service quality evaluation system with SERVQUAL service quality model. With regard to the relevant factors affecting the development of the quality of geriatric education services, the University of Geriatric Education in Province D is taken as an example, and the data are quantitatively analyzed by using structural equation modeling and robust regression estimation. The results show that the expected value of tangibility in the quality of geriatric education services is the lowest at 4.139, its perceived gap value is only −0.334, and the expectations of older learners under 65 years old are in the range of 4.75 to 5.00. The regression coefficients of government policies and infrastructure on the development of the quality of elderly education services were 0.282 and 0.251, respectively, which decreased significantly after the inclusion of demographic variables. The elderly’s subjective well-being had a direct effect of 0.452 on the quality of geriatric education services, which was also significant indirectly. The development of high-quality geriatric education requires the joint efforts of the government and society at large to provide an effective foundation for the realization of lifelong education.
