Abstract
This study examines the impact of cultural capital on the digital skills of adult learners in evening High Schools in Western Greece. In order to achieve this, Bourdieu’s theoretical framework is employed, and the contribution of the three forms of cultural capital, namely institutionalised, objectified, and embedded, to the digital skills of adult learners is analysed. A quantitative methodology was employed, and a questionnaire was selected as the research instrument. The sample comprised 153 adult learners, and the data were analysed using SPSS. The findings indicate that adult learners with higher cultural capital demonstrate superior digital skills, particularly in information literacy, digital safety and problem-solving. It is concluded that unequal cultural capital is associated with the level of digital skills among learners, contributing to the perpetuation of inequalities.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0778/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
