Teaching and Age: Training Tutors for Pre-retirement Education.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McCallam, John – Australian Journal of Adult Education, 1982
The relatively recent emergence of a large, healthy group of adults over 65 years of age has created a social demographic situation for which there are no historical precedents. The author argues that education should play a more active role in providing preretirement educational programs for older adults. (SSH)

Gerogogy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Battersby, David – Australian Journal of Adult Education, 1982
Explores the notion of "gerogogy"--teaching aimed at the elderly. The author indicates directions that gerogogical research may take and speculates that a theoretical framework for gerogogy may begin to emerge from our current knowledge about the human development, learning, and teaching of the elderly.
