Developing a Conceptual Framework for Understanding Older Adults and Learning.

Findsen, Brian

New Zealand Journal of Adult Learning, v30 n2 p34-52 Nov 2002

Examines how older adults are defined in the literature; reviews the concept of lifelong learning and perspectives on the purpose of older adult education. Looks at the extent of participation and barriers. Proposes critical educational gerontology, derived from Freire, as an emancipatory learning strategy through which older adults can contribute to society. (Contains 45 references.) (SK)
