“Learning” and Educational Programs for “Senior” Australians

Abstract

Although there is a change in the learning process itself, the ability to learn even in extreme old age. is more dependent on personal motivation, and one's 'self-concept as a learner', rather than on age itself.Strategies for teaching the elderly are also treated in the paper as well as brief descriptions of new educational programs introduced in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales in the last few years.
