DICT and seniors: How can research experience help us map digital competencies? Cecília Henriques1 and Denise Pilar2 1 2 Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, Brasil SAP Labs LATAM, Av. SAP, 188. São Leopoldo, RS, Brazil ceciliamhenriques@yahoo.com.br denise.pilar@live.com Abstract. The development of digital competencies is progressive and influenced by use: the more digital resources are used; the more people develop digital competencies. Yet, when considering the elderly public and their specificities, learning to use DICT in Brazil has been driven by short training courses that teach how to use computers and smartphones. For those courses to be more effective and assertive, it is important to map the digital competencies that are already developed by the elderly. Therefore, the question is: how can experience research help in the mapping of digital competencies of elderly users? To answer this question, we carried out an inventory of experience research methods, seeking to identify which among them would be more suitable for mapping digital competencies of the elderly. Next, some data were collected using the identified methods, in order to understand how effective they could be for mapping the digital competencies of this audience. The results show that some methods used in Experience Research are useful for mapping digital competencies and can help researchers and teachers to better direct their research and courses to this specific audience. We expect this proposal to spark and broaden the discussion on the use of DICT by the elderly, user experience, experience research and digital competencies. Keywords: Digital Competencies, Elderly, User Experience. 1 Introduction The increase in life expectancy brings important demands regarding the well-being and inclusion of older people when it comes to ensuring healthy aging and social inclusion of the elderly, especially when considering the elderly as someone who still has much to live, experience, and contribute to their community. In this context, the actions that enable the social inclusion of the elderly are important and, in times of massive use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT), their digital inclusion, since the technologies have become essential and inevitable, especially when it deals with communication, socialization, education and work. DICT make older people both delighted and afraid, at the same time: enchanted, particularly by the ease of communication and the ability to access different content and 2 resources; fearful because, despite favoring family, social, business or financial relationships, for example, they do not always understand how these technologies work, what resources are available, or what are the possibilities for interaction. There is also a concern about safety when using digital devices. Hence, the need for practices specifically targeted to this age group. In order for DICT to provide a user experience that matches what users want and need, they must meet certain accessibility and usability requirements. However, accessibility and usability alone do not account for the digital inclusion of the elderly, and the development of digital literacy is an important factor to consider. That requires the development of digital competencies, which means that users need to know how to access, analyze, and interpret information that is necessary for learning, for the development of critical thinking and for problem solving. They should also be able to express and disseminate information in a democratic and ethical way, and to retrieve information in a safe and critical manner. Such competencies are considered essential for personal, social, and professional life, especially considering that most of today's daily activities are mediated by digital resources. The development of digital competencies is progressive and influenced by use: the more digital resources are used, the more people develop digital competencies. Yet, when considering the elderly public and their specificities, learning to use DICT in Brazil has been driven by short training courses that teach how to use computers and smartphones. For those courses to be more effective and assertive, it is important to map the digital competencies that are already developed by the elderly. Therefore, the question is: how can experience research help in the mapping of digital competencies of elderly users? To answer this question, we carried out an inventory of experience research methods, seeking to identify which among them would be more suitable for mapping digital competencies of the elderly. Next, some data were collected using the identified methods, in order to understand how effective they could be for mapping the digital competencies of this audience. Thus, even though the article describes a study for mapping digital competencies, carried out with a group of elderly people, the objective here is to discuss the use of experience research in the mapping of digital competencies of elderly users. This paper presents an overview of the use of DICT by Brazilian elderly people, in the year of 2019. It also discusses the digital competencies that are considered essential today, as well as the qualitative methods of experience research that can support the mapping of digital competencies of elderly users. Lastly, we present some approaches used to mapping digital competencies with this audience, seeking to be more assertive. 2 Elderly Brazilians In Brazil, an individual aged 60 or more is considered to be part of the elderly age group. The Elderly Statute, Law n. 10,741, dated October 1, 2003, is the instrument 3 “designed to regulate the rights guaranteed to people aged 60 or over” (1). Although having begun later than more developed countries, population aging is a process that has been occurring rapidly in Brazil. And it generates changes in the age structure of the population, as there is a decrease in the number of children and young people, and, at the same time, there is an increase in the number of adults and the elderly in the total population. The population aged 60 or over went from 14.2 million in 2000 to 19.6 million in 2010, with a projection of 41.5 million in 2030 and 73.5 million in 2060 (2). Unlike individual aging, population aging results in social and economic challenges and possibilities that are collective, albeit with direct individual effects, such as the guarantee to social security, health care, social assistance and care, education, work , housing, and, above all, social integration. In addition, the Elderly Statute guarantees to the elderly with absolute priority, “the realization of the right to life, health, food, education, culture, sport , leisure, work, citizenship, freedom, dignity, respect and family, and community coexistence ”, which explicitly includes the obligation of the family, the community, the society, and the Public Power (1). Considering, then, that population aging is a reality, in addition to the need for public policies to address the social protection of this public and the guarantee of housing, food, physical health, care and moral health, leisure, work, stability, respect, and non-discrimination, there is still a need to intensify work that protects them from exclusion and social vulnerability, guaranteeing this age group the right to participate in different social spheres, in an inclusive manner, respecting the characteristics specific to their age. In the meantime, public policies aimed at this age group must consider the specific characteristics of this stage of development, among which stand out: diseases, since over the years, the body is subject to more diseases, especially chronic and associated ones (comorbidities), especially diabetes, hypertension, obesity and hypercholesterolemia (3); gender differences, since the number of elderly women is greater than that of men1,, “the result of mortality different rates between the sexes, which for the male population are always higher than those observed among women (2). The increase in life expectancy is also a relevant factor for both men and women, even though women’s life expectancy exceeds that of men (which also explains the greater number of women in this age group). Globally, “life expectancy increased from 47 years between 1950-1955, to 65 years between 2000-2005, and is expected to reach 75 years between 2045-2050 (4). In Brazil, according to data from the 2015 National Household sample survey, the Southeast and South regions recorded the highest percentages of elderly individuals (15.7% and 16.0%, respectively), while the North region (including the Amazon area) recorded the lowest percentages (10, 1%) (5). In addition, the aging process is slow and gradual, taking different paces, depending on each person, and being influenced, among other factors, by genetics, social, historical, psychological aspects, as well as by dieta habits. Although most elderly 1 The sex ratio for the population over 60 years of age is about 0.8, indicating that there are approximately 80 men for every 100 women (2). 4 people have multiple health issues over time, especially chronic, non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, the passage of time is not a synonym for dependence (6). Although most elderly people experience loneliness or social2 and / or emotional isolation, this is not a natural and permanent state for all of them. Many elderly people do want to “continue studying and working on something that gives them pleasure. They want to be productive, useful, and active at this life. They don't just want to occupy time, spend time, fill time, waste time. Time, for them, is extremely valuable and cannot be wasted. They don't want to retire from themselves ”(7). They are people who want to work not (only) because of the material need that so much effort demanded from their ancestors, but because they want to find meaning for this moment in life. In Brazil, many elderly people seek and participate in courses offered mainly by Universities Open to the Third Age (as these stage of life is often referred to as, in Brazil), programs and extension courses offered by Public or Private Universities or specific centers for the elderly, generally maintained by municipal government. These courses are offered, in the majority, in person. The most popular topics include consumer law, basic and daily health care, physiotherapy, nutrition, computer courses, and foreign languages3. Such proposals aim at social inclusion, active participation in society, and access to education, either to guarantee the learning that was not possible at a regular age, or for upskilling and personal development. 3 Digital competencies In recent years, several terms have been used to describe the skills and competencies of using digital technologies, such as ICT competencies, technology skills, information technology skills, 21st century skills, information literacy, digital literacy and digital competencies. These terms are often also used interchangeably (9). Digital competency has become an essential concept to describe the knowledge, skills and attitudes that people should have in today's society. It relates to digital literacy and it is one of the eight competencies recognized as essential for lifelong learning by the European Community, and it is also the competency that enables a better insertion in the digital environment, not only through the acquisition of technical competencies, but also through a deeper understanding of the DICT and their interactive and collaborative environments (10). 2 “It implies the scarcity of meaningful and satisfying relationships with regard to the quality of the various types of relationship that a person may have, such as superficial or intimate relationships, relationships with old or recent friends, with co-workers, with neighbors or relatives ”(8). 3 There are many Universities Open to the Elderly in the country, linked to both private and public Universities, which open their doors to the elderly with extension courses on different themes. Examples of these projects, among others: USP60+ (https://prceu.usp.br/usp60/), UATI (https://www3.uepg.br/uati/), UNATI (http://www.unati.uem.br/index.php/), UATI (https://www.pitangui.uepg.br/uati/), UATI (http://www.nuati.uneb.br/saiba%20mais.html), UNATI (http://www.pucrs.br/unati/). 5 According to the European Commission, “digital competence involves the safe and critical use of Information Society technologies at work, in free time, and in communication” (10). It is “underpinned by ICT competencies: the use of computers for obtaining, evaluating, storing, producing, presenting and exchanging information, and to communicate and participate in cooperation networks via Internet ”(10). In addition to this concept, there are those who classify digital competence in dimensions, stating that it can be technical, cognitive, and ethical (11) and that it should enable the person to explore and face new technological situations, in a flexible and critical way, analyzing, selecting and evaluating the data and information. The person should also be able to explore technological possibilities, aiming to solve problems and build shared and collaborative knowledge, while raising awareness of their own responsibilities (11). Digital competency is also defined in the literature as the competency that allows people to “solve real problems, make decisions, work in collaborative environments, expanding communication spaces in order to participate in formal and informal learning communities, as well as to manage creative and responsible outcomes”, since“ it consists in having the skills to look for, obtain, process and communicate information, and to transform it into knowledge ”(12). In the specialized literature, it is also defined, among others, as “a set of conditions, resources and available elements applied in a given situation” (13) or as “a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes, strategies and awareness that one needs when using ICTs and digital media to perform tasks, solve problems, communicate, generate information, collaborate, create and share content, build knowledge effectively, efficiently, critically, creatively, autonomously, flexibly, ethically, and reflexively for work, leisure, participation, learning, socialization, consumption, and empowerment ”[14]. It is important to mention DigComp, which is the most current document on digital competence and the European frame of reference for the development and understanding of digital competence (16). Although it is geared towards teachers, it is the material being used as a reference by many professionals. The document presents the areas of digital competence, which can be summarized as follows: a) Information: to be able to identify, locate, retrieve, store, organize, and analyze information, as well as to assess their purpose and importance; b) Communication: to be able to communicate in digital environments, share resources through online tools, connect and collaborate with other people through digital tools, interact and participate in communities and networks; c) Content Creation: Create and edit new content (text, images, videos), integrate and reformulate knowledge and content, create artistic productions, multimedia content and computer programming, knowing how to apply intellectual property rights and licensing; d) Security: personal protection, data protection, digital identity protection, use of security, secure and sustainable use of information; e) Problem solving: identify digital needs and resources. Making decisions when choosing the appropriate digital tool, according to the purpose or need, solving conceptual problems through digital means, solving technical problems, use of technology creatively, updating one's own competence and that of others (16). Considering specifically elderly Brazilians, five digital competencies were mapped, which are particularly necessary for this audience: Basic internet resources; Web 6 search; Communication by e-mail; Reliable online information; and Virtual Resilience [16]. In addition, the competency of Security and Privacy on the Internet was also mentioned, regarding the use of internet tools to help with preventing theft of personal information [16]. 4 Experience Research Experience research allows to collect data from end users of products and services, to understand the context of use, and to discover these end users’ needs. The objective is to obtain a holistic view of the context of use, which allows the researcher to fill in the knowledge gaps that users are not able to communicate directly, as it includes the user's understanding of the tool and how it is used (17, 18). Therefore, it is a research that focuses on the person and is used, above all, although not only for this purpose, to understand a person’s use and experience with digital products. Basically, experience research allows to discover, among other things: what tools people use, why they use them, how these tools are present in users' daily lives, and what advantages and disadvantages the tools have, as well as the user problems the tool solves. As a result of the experience research, it is possible to obtain, among others: 1) The elderly user journey with DICT; 2) Understanding of the context of use of digital tools by the elderly; 3) Personas that represent the elderly subjects of the research. There are many methods used to collect data in experience research, but, for the purposes of this work, in-depth interviews and observation were selected, as described below, as they allow better understanding of interactions with digital products and offer the opportunity for the research to build rapport with the user, which opens the door to gathering information that would not be disclosed, otherwise. In-depth individual interviews, which is apparently the most direct way of getting to know a little more about users, as by having time to talk and having a well-structured interview guide, enable the researcher to find out a lot about them and their relationship with digital resources. In addition, the researcher gets the opportunity to investigate the reasons that are behind user actions, and that are key to develop a comprehensive understanding of them. The interview allows to gather information about users, how they use the products and what problems they face, as well as to know their context of use, their vocabulary, social aspects, mental model, etc. (17, 18, 19). Chart 1, below, contains the steps for conducting individual in-depth interviews, prepared by Kalbach (17) and Gil (19). .

Steps for in-depth interviews Observation of use is defined as the method in which the researcher meets users, in a conscious and objective way, to capture data and information about who these people are and how they use a particular tool in their daily lives (18). The main characteristic of observation as a research method is its dependence on a place where it occurs (19). In the case of experience research, observation is well suited to: 1) discover how people interact with each other or with products or services, making it possible to perceive more clearly how people behave, what they do and how they do something; 2) discover underlying or unconscious thoughts that people have difficulty with or don't know how to express in a formal interview; and 3) overcome assumptions or hypotheses that are not confirmed (18). Table 2, below, contains the steps for observing the user experience, according to Goodman and Kuniavsky (18) and Gil (19).

Steps for observing the user experience. In the following section we describe how the individual in-depth interviews and the user observation were conducted. We also present some of the findings of mapping digital competencIes and why the experience research made a difference. 5 Experience Research and the mapping of digital competencies of the elderly 8 Considering the proposed objective and the research question we wanted to answer, we chose the methods of individual in-depth interviews and user observation, as previously mentioned. First, we created the data collection instrument, which consisted of open questions about digital competencies, next, we defined participant profile, who should already use mobile tools and social media, such as Facebook or Instagram. Subsequently, we decided to interview six users, from a universe of 55 participants, taking computer classes for the elderly, which were offered by an elderly care center in southern Brazil. All participants had previously participated in a research study to understand the user profile of the elder DICT users. After reviewing and testing the data collection instrument, we requested authorization from the elderly care center to collect data, and prepared the informed consent and authorization for recording forms, since the interviews would be recorded in audio and/or video. The interviews were conducted along a week, in October 2019. Afterwards, the interviews were transcribed and validated with the participants, before the analysis took place. The second data collection, user observation, was carried out in the same class, offered by the elderly care center. The level of digital competence and validation of data obtained from individual interviews was defined as the scope of the research. It is important to mention that the scope of the research, the users’ profile and the place of observation were defined from the interview data, since these observation sessions were treated as a complementary step in the mapping of digital competencies. The observation period was six hours, divided into six sessions of one hour each. Again, authorization was requested from the elderly care center for data collection and the informed consent and authorization for recording forms were prepared, since the observations would also be recorded on video. Observations were carried out over the last week of October and two weeks in November 2019. The data were systematized and analyzed after each session, followed by a cross analysis at the end of the six sessions. The analysis of the interviews allowed us to understand that the main activities of the elderly are: accessing social media, chatting with family by voice or video, sending messages or emails, and sharing photos and/or videos. In addition, the use of DICT is influenced, especially by family members, who give smartphones to their elders, as a gift, or request that they get a device in order to facilitate communication, particularly with those who live in distant cities or even neighborhoods. Many elders seem reluctant to purchase the devices, not only because they lack digital competence, but also because the equipment and the internet provider services are expensive. As for their current digital competencies for using DICT, the elderly state that, at first, it was necessary to attend a training course or to ask for help from family and friends, and after feeling comfortable using their devices, they try to discover new functions and explore the potential of the equipment. However, the main factors that lead them to be less autonomous in this exploration are the fear of damaging the equipment and the uncertainty about where their personal data will end up after being inserted in the device's screen. The main difficulties of use reported by the elderly regard finding information on the devices, accessing software and applications and understanding 9 menus. These difficulties vary depending on their knowledge and experience with computers, due to the following main factors: time of use, and having or not completed a computer or mobile training course. Autonomy for use, on the other hand, was more related to the “level of curiosity” and interest in use. As for the usage observations, it was possible to notice that many elderly people used devices purchased or donated by their children or grandchildren, which are, generally with little memory and a low capacity processor, not supporting the installation of many applications and crashing frequently. Comments like "my son gave me his old phone" or "my daughter got it for me" are common among them and show that, for many of the participants, the first device comes through the inheritance of a secondhand device from their children or grandchildren, who, in case of trouble using the device, are the first ones the elder seek for help. These assists, however, are punctual and often remove the autonomy of the elderly in executing the action, or learning how to do it, which directly influences the development of digital competencies. In some sessions, smartphones had to be configured, as most of the elderly were unable to use their own device because some basic settings were inappropriate for them, and they did not know how to change such settings. The biggest complaint of the elderly was about screen time: “my screen turned off” and “why does my screen turn off?” phrases were heard a lot. In the course in which the observations were made, the participants practiced: making voice calls and/or video calls, finding the play store icon on the smartphone, searching for the Facebook and Instagram applications, updating them, uploading images, among other tasks. These challenges demanded that the elderly practiced what they had been learning. As a result, many of the participants began to interact in small groups, when those with a higher level of digital competence would explain to others what they knew about configuration and access to the devices, as well as share their positive and negative user experiences. Another important finding from the observations was the fact that the elderly use a paper notebook and pen to write down the steps they must take to perform a certain action on the devices. They do this to “help memory,” said one participant, as the school does not offer printed teaching material, although many of the students request it, according to the mediator. But what do individual interviews and user observation have to do with mapping digital competencies? It is common for the mapping of digital competencies to be done through observation and self-assessment questionnaires that use a scale of values (Likert, for example) [16]. However, self-assessment can hinder data collection, since the questions are closed and out of context. Hence, observation, being broader and more comprehensive, plays an important role to help researchers and instructors to map the digital competencies of the elderly. Considering the research findings and the breadth of data collected, it is safe to say that individual interviews and user observation seem to be more comprehensive to understand the context of use of DICT by the elderly, their needs, problems and benefits that technology brings to their daily lives, as well as to map the digital competencies they already have. Although this was an initial research, given the characteristics of the elderly public, the individual interviews combined with user observation seemed more pertinent than 10 the questionnaires previously applied, mainly due to the possibility of better understanding the context of using DICT, a weakness of quantitative instruments. For instructors and instructional designers, for example, what needs to be considered when using individual interviews and user observation for mapping digital competencies is not necessarily what the elderly say they do, but what they mean when they say, for instance, that the reason why they use DICT is because their children insisted, or when they mention they are afraid to use the tools because they do not understand where their data will end up after being entered on the screen. While in a selfassessment questionnaire the answers are already present and all the person has to do is just choose the answer that best matches their personal answer, the interviews allow the elderly to freely share their experience, including feelings and emotions, emphasizing what they consider relevant and, guided by the researcher, reveal data that is essential to understand where they are in terms of digital competence and, with that, guide the creation of future instructional materials and training courses that best address their development needs, since they take into account the existing knowledge. 6 Final thoughts Considering that DICT are a given reality and that everyone, regardless of age, is entitled to access and use them, it is necessary to offer the elderly the possibility to learn to use such resources, since new basic competencies are required and necessary for active and effective social participation. On the other hand, digital tools must meet the specific needs of this age group. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider that the new social structure imposed by the digital generates transformations in social practices, now mediated by a great diversity of digital technological platforms. These transformations, although conditioned by digital technologies, depend on human action, which requires the existence of minimal digital competencies to identify, evaluate, and use DICT, as well as to collaborate and participate in the digital world. The elderly seem to have significant interest in the use of DICT and show a high availability for learning situations. However, the methodologies used in the existing learning options and the materials made available to this group do not seem to address such situations adequately. In addition, the number of courses offered to the elderly has significantly increased, but there are still few proposals that consider their digital competencies in order to develop training courses or learning materials that make use of DICT, or even courses that aim at developing digital competencies. Studies that contemplate digital competencies for the elderly are important when considering the needs and characteristics of this audience. In the field's literature, especially those articles about courses and learning materials for the elderly, there are few studies that contemplate digital competencies and their mapping, considering age specifics. In addition, the vast majority of works about the elderly, in Brazil, consider the losses that are inherent to human development: cognitive, physical, mental, intellectual, social, or emotional, and are mainly concentrated in the health field, followed by human sciences, multidisciplinary, and social and applied sciences. In this sense, this work sought not only to report the mapping of digital competencies carried out with a group of elderly people, but also to discuss the use of experience research in the mapping of these competencies with this specific profile. We believe 11 that experience research, especially in-depth individual interviews and user observation are well suited methods, which enable a better understanding of the level of digital competence of the elderly. This is particularly relevant if we consider that the elderly do not always know the terminology used in surveys, which hinders the elaboration of self-assessment questionnaires that can be understood by all elderly users. Finally, we must emphasize that there are limitations in this work. The main one is the fact that this was a mapping study conducted in one context and cannot be replicated to others, which is typical of qualitative research. Therefore, other studies are necessary to better understand how to map digital competencies using only qualitative methods, and whether these methods can be used with a larger number of elderly users. In the end, the ultimate goal is to learn if that, effectively, would generate value for instructors, instructional designers, researchers and other professionals interested in the topic.
