The use of digital media in adult education is very heterogeneous. To date, there are no empirical studies that have examined the possibility that media‐related differences in media usage of adult educators could be in part due to differential media pedagogical attitudes of adult educators. Moreover, there is a lack of empirical evidence to support the understanding of what factors modulate differences in media pedagogical competencies of adult educators. In order to examine different theoretical potentialities, in the present study, an online survey of adult educators (n = 626) was conducted to investigate the attitudes of adult educators in Germany toward their use of digital media. The results of the study indicate that there are influencing factors such as educational level or employment context on attitudes toward digital media.

在收养与拒绝之间：德国成人教育者对数字化的态度

在成人教育中数字媒体的使用非常多样化。迄今为止，还没有任何实证研究来检验成人教育者媒体使用中与媒体有关的差异可能部分归因于成人教育者媒体教学态度的差异。而且，缺乏经验证据来支持理解哪些因素会调节成人教育者的媒体教学能力差异。为了检验不同的理论潜力，在本研究中，对成人教育工作者（n = 626）进行了在线调查，以调查德国成人教育工作者对使用数字媒体的态度。研究结果表明，影响数字媒体态度的因素包括教育程度或就业环境。
