“…In the past, the range of courses offered in OAE was limited and focused only on the interests of older adults, such as calligraphy, painting, instrumental music and dance ( 24 ). Recently, because of the emphasis on active aging, the curriculum has focused on the physical and mental health of older adults and included some new skills knowledge (e.g., computer networks, mobile phones, and computer use) ( 25 ). These changes continue to enrich OAE.…”

“…First, face-to-face courses can be improved; for example, teaching sites can be established in homes or community organizations to facilitate participation by older adults who live in nearby communities and have limited mobility. In Japan, small and community-based learning opportunities have been popular; they remain active ( 25 ). Second, online teaching support can be provided for OAE.…”

“…Additionally, a mixed online and offline teaching model is the focus of active exploration ( 52 ); joint instruction that involves OAE universities and local colleges can be developed to introduce quality courses of interest to older adults, while enhancing the delivery of educational content. Finally, mutual learning can be promoted, which involves a shift in learner and teacher roles ( 25 ). Members of OAE universities could invite members of other classes to discuss what they have learned in past courses ( 25 ).…”

“…The first step in creating a high-quality curriculum involves the improvement of content for older adults. Because health maintenance is a critical consideration for older adults, most OAE courses should include concepts that help to promote health in their learners ( 25 ). First, this focus requires the public health system to provide programs that invest in the long-term prevention of chronic diseases and promote health recovery for all learners in OAE universities ( 53 ).…”

We have entered an era of population aging, and many public health problems associated with aging are becoming more serious. Older adults have earlier onset of chronic diseases and suffer more disability. Therefore, it is extremely important to promote active aging and enhance health literacy. These involves full consideration of the need for education and the provision of solutions to problems associated with aging. The development of OAE is an important measure for implementing the strategy of active aging, and curriculum construction is a fundamental component of achieving OAE. Various subjective and objective factors have limited the development of OAE. To overcome these difficulties and ensure both active and healthy aging, the requirements for active aging should be implemented, the limitations of current OAE should be addressed, system integration should be increased, and the curriculum system should be improved. These approaches will help to achieve the goal of active aging. This paper discusses OAE from the perspective of active aging, based on the promotion of health literacy and provides suggestions to protect physical and mental health among older adults, while promoting their social participation. The provision of various social guarantees for normal life in older adults is a new educational concept.
