A presente Dissertação tem como principal objetivo determinar a literacia digital presente nos idosos e qual a sua perceção sobre as alterações na sua qualidade de vida após a aprendizagem do manuseamento das novas tecnologias. De modo a responder a este objetivo foi elaborado um questionário, designado de “Questionário de Literacia Digital”.
A metodologia utilizada foi o método quantitativo, embora estejam presentes no questionário algumas questões de caráter qualitativo, o que permitiu uma abordagem mais integrativa do estudo. A amostra é constituída por vinte e um idosos e alunos de uma Universidade Sénior da Região Norte.
A análise dos dados demonstrou que os dispositivos mais utilizados pelos idosos são o telemóvel e o computador. O motivo principal para o começo da sua utilização foi a curiosidade em aprender a utilizar estes meios de comunicação. A grande maioria dos participantes afirma que a sua qualidade de vida se alterou para melhor desde que começou a utilizar estes dispositivos, tendo também demonstrado que a Internet é importante para eles poderem comunicar com familiares e amigos que estão no estrangeiro com maior facilidade.
Em suma, os idosos desta amostra demonstram ter algum conhecimento relativamente à utilização dos novos meios de comunicação, embora este conhecimento seja possivelmente influenciado pelo facto de frequentarem a Universidade Sénior e por este se centrar essencialmente no que é exigido nas aulas.
