Poslušaj in se uči: Podkast kot oblika priložnostnega učenja odraslih

Meden, Ema (avtor), Radovan, Marko (mentor)

V magistrskem delu sem se lotila raziskovanja področja priložnostnega učenja, natančneje digitalnega priložnostnega učenja. Pri tem sem se osredotočila na značilnosti učenja ob poslušanju podkastov. Za to temo sem se odločila, ker sama pogosto poslušam podkaste in se zanimam za procese njihovega nastajanja. V tem mediju sem prepoznala velik učni potencial in zdelo se mi je, da si zasluži več pozornosti v andragoškem raziskovanju. Naloga je sestavljena iz dveh delov. Prvi je namenjen teoretičnim izhodiščem, kjer so s pomočjo obstoječe strokovne literature predstavljeni ključni pojmi mojega raziskovanja. Na začetku sem predstavila priložnostno učenje s poudarkom na digitalnem priložnostnem učenju, nadaljevala pa sem z opredelitvijo podkasta kot medija in značilnosti njegove uporabe. Predstavila sem tudi obstoječe raziskave, ki se ukvarjajo s podkasti v kontekstu učenja in z učenjem povezanih dejavnikov. V empiričnem delu naloge so predstavljeni rezultati in ključne ugotovitve kvantitativne raziskave. Za izbrani vzorec sem ugotovila, da ljudje podkaste poslušajo dokaj pogosto in jih vpletajo v svoje vsakodnevne rutine. Prevladujoča razloga za poslušanje sta učenje in zabava, najpogosteje občutena ovira pri poslušanju pa tavajoča pozornost. Epizode podkastov respondenti v veliki meri razumejo in uporabljajo kot priročne in zaupanja vredne izobraževalne vsebine, kar je v skladu z obstoječo literaturo. V kontekstu priložnostnega učenja anketiranci podkaste pogosto uporabljajo v projektih samostojnega učenja, redko pa jih kombinirajo z ostalimi učnimi viri. Izbira podkastov za poslušanje je zelo individualna: respondenti pogosto izberejo poznane tematike, redkeje pa na izbiro vplivajo mnenja in priporočila drugih.

Izvleček

In my master's thesis, I sought to research the field of informal learning, more specifically digital informal learning. In doing so, I focused on the characteristics of learning through podcasts. I chose this topic because I often listen to podcasts myself and am interested in the processes involved in their production. I've recognized the immense learning potential of this medium, and it would seem that it deserves more attention in andragogical research. The thesis consists of two parts. The first is the theoretical basis, where I present the fundamental concepts of my research with the existing technical literature. First, I introduced informal learning with an emphasis on digital informal learning, then continued with the characterization of a podcast as a medium and the specifics of its use. I also presented existing research dealing with podcasts in the context of learning and learning-related factors. The empirical part of the thesis presents the results and key findings of quantitative research. For the gathered sample, I found that people listen to podcasts relatively often and incorporate them into their daily routines. The prevailing reasons for listening are to learn and to have fun. The most commonly perceived barrier to listening is wandering attention. The respondents understand and use podcast episodes as convenient and trustworthy educational content, which is in line with the existing literature. In the context of informal learning, respondents often use podcasts in learning projects and rarely combine them with other learning resources. The individual choice of podcasts is clear: respondents most often choose familiar topics and are less likely to be influenced by the opinions and recommendations of others.
