La formación en la adultez tardía

Abstract

The paper aims at considering the teaching-learning processes in the socalled "late adulthood" by analysing both the human development perspectives as well as the practical side of the socioeducational interventions. Bearing in mind the theory of the "active ageing" and its basic principles, the paper provides the reader with an "X ray" of the demographic changes, the social policy and, particularly, the teaching-learning fields. Also, various programmes for elderly people to promote an ageing that favours life quality among elderly (a growing number of people in Spain), were proposed (and showed) in our research study.
