Indonesian Migrant Worker Learning Communities in Taiwan: It is Not Only Online Learning, It is Our Gathering
Abstract
This research purported to gain a more thoughtful and insightful understanding of female Indonesian migrant workers’ perceptions and experiences on online learning in Taiwan. To achieve this research purpose, researchers collected qualitative data from a series of in-depth interviews with five participants who joined online learning in community learning through one of Taiwan’s largest women religious NGOs, Salimah Taiwan. The Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was purposely selected to analyze the data to draw the participants’ lived experiences during online learning. The five significant theme findings were intrinsically interwoven and pivotal to adult learning, especially in the context of online learning.
