Investigating the Learning Process of Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Green Healing Programs
Hsieh, Y.-C., Lee, Y.-H.
English Abstract This study explores the difficulties and coping strategies of middle-aged and older adults participating in a green healing program through a case study of the “Central Region Natural Farming Club,” a private Facebook group dedicated to sustainable agriculture. Employing a semi-structured, one-on-one interview methodology, the research investigates the motivations, learning experiences, and impacts on four participants aged 45 to 65. Key findings reveal: (1) Diverse motivations for program participation, including concerns for food and agricultural safety, skills development, alignment with personal values, and pursuit of self-fulfillment. (2) A broad curriculum covering green healing practices, such as agricultural planting knowledge, food processing techniques, environmental ecology and sustainability principles, agricultural management skills, and marketing strategies for farm produce. (3) Learning challenges faced by the participants, including physical limitations, restrictions in course content and learning methods, external distractions, and a lack of social support. (4) Coping strategies used by the participants include experiential learning, self-directed learning, and leveraging external resources and equipment to supplement their learning experience. (5) The program’s positive impact on the participants’ well-being, including improved physical and mental health, enhanced social connections, and a sense of personal growth through skill development and knowledge acquisition.Keywords：middle-aged and older adults, green healing, learning process
