20.500.12556/RUL-164321 Podcasts and informal learning exploring knowledge acquisition and retention This study explores how podcasts’ accessibility fosters learning, examining listener engagement, content preferences, and the unique educational opportunities they offer. With the rise of digital audio platforms, podcasts have emerged as a significant medium for acquiring knowledge outside formal educational settings. Using an online survey, data were collected from 605 respondents, who were predominantly young and well educated, to understand their podcast listening habits and the extent of informal learning. The study categorizes informal learning into self-directed, incidental, and tacit learning. Results show that more than half of respondents engage in self-directed learning, while a third participate in incidental learning, indicating that podcasts serve as effective tools for intentional and unintentional knowledge acquisition. ANOVA analysis reveals that self-directed learners exhibit higher information retention and critical evaluation skills compared to tacit learners. Additionally, trust in podcast content is significantly higher among educated listeners. The study concludes that while podcasts are valuable for learning and professional development, there is a need for enhanced digital literacy to improve critical appraisal skills among listeners. These findings provide insights into the cognitive processes involved in podcast-based learning and suggest practical strategies for educators and content creators to enhance the educational impact of podcasts. informal learning podcasts adult learning digital education media credibility neformalno učenje podkasti digitalno izobraževanje izobraževanje odraslih mediji verodostojnost medijev true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2024-10-22 09:51:33 2024-10-22 09:51:39 2024-10-23 04:00:38 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 1-16 [article] 1129 issue 10 17 October 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-10-17 374.7 2227-7102 10.3390/educsci14101129 212358403 education-14-01129.pdf education-14-01129.pdf 1 687E7491157F71A4E6BC0A6B7199E73E 0ee5988ab465e62e373eb32da022233318e8bf930b48799df5e6dc16a5480c51 c547756d-904b-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=194641 https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/14/10/1129 1 2ec0f41a-904a-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=194640 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
