Abstract:Since the second half of the 20th century survival has been democratised in most countries. More and more people reach an advanced age. The objective of this paper is to discuss how phases of the life cycle are being re-defined in the context of a world in transformation: the universalization of social security that guarantees income for older people; technological advances that have increased the velocity of communication and the demand for continuing education; medical advances; and changes in family organiz… Show more
“…Another study pointed out that the initiative to participate in the U3A was based on intrinsic reasons or dependent on the wishes of the elderly. Thus, the adherence of the elderly to these university programs is usually voluntary, considering their interests and needs 16 .…”

“…These are women who have studied more and entered the labor market 19 . Moreover, another study, which also identified a greater participation of the female sex in the U3A, found that the concepts considered important in the search for this form of education by the female public were the search for identity and the valorization of memory 16 .…”
Objective: To verify, among elderly participants of the University of the Third Age (UnATI) of PUC Goiás, Goiania, Brazil, whether quality of life was higher or lower among veteran or first-year participants of the UnATI, and to evaluate if there was a statistically significant difference between the quality of life of men and women or first-years and veterans. Method: An observational case-control study with a quantitative approach was performed with 100 elderly individuals from the UnATI. Fifty first-years and fifty veterans were involved. Two questionnaires were applied, one with sociodemographic data and the other using the World Health Organization Quality of Life -Old (WHOQOL-OLD) scale, which evaluates the quality of life of the elderly. Variance analysis (ANOVA) and multivariate variance analysis (MANOVA) were performed, with p≤0.05 applied to the relevant statistics. Result: The vast majority of the sample were women (90%), aged between 60 and 86 years old (average of 68.37±5.28 years old). The overall quality of life score was 3.68±0.50 (first-years) and 3.87±0.55 (veterans). There was a statistically significant difference in the areas: sensory functioning (veterans =4.28±0.65 and firstyears =3.95±0.80) ( p=0.025) and past, present and future activity (veterans =4.0±0.72 and first-years =3.59±0.79) ( p=0.008). Multivariate variance analysis identified that the overall quality of life scores of both men (veterans =3.15 and first-years =4.21) and women (veterans =3.78 and first-years =3.86), were highest after they became veteran students ( p=0.007). Conclusion: Veterans had a higher quality of life than first-years. The continuing education provided by UnATI has a positive impact on the quality of life of the elderly.

“…A composição de um leque de possibilidades diversificadas de representações da aparência, envolvendo idosos acabava sendo dicotomizada, não incluindo, possivelmente, a totalidade das experiências de ser velho. Estudos subsequentes e mesmos os mais recentes sobre a dicotomização da apresentação pessoal e coletiva da velhice presentes no imaginário social mostraram, no entanto, que passados quase 15 anos a situação não se modificou muito (Laranjeira, 2010;Plens, Domingues, Batistoni, & Lopes, 2012;Piccoli, Lopes, Araújo, & Graeff, 2012;Silva, Cachioni, & Lopes, 2012;Camarano, 2016;Fin, Portella, & Scortegagna, 2017).…”
A imigração pode representar mudanças no curso de vida. Investigou-se a construção da aparência ao longo do envelhecimento na percepção de indianos imigrados para o Brasil na juventude. Uso do método etnográfico. Foram entrevistadas oito pessoas de 56 anos e mais de idade. O processo de construção da aparência foi caracterizado pela ruptura de tradições, apropriações e significados do corpo, influenciada pelo contato intercultural e a necessidade de adaptação e engajamento.
A Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional estabelece que é dever da Federação recensear anualmente não apenas crianças e adolescentes em idade escolar, mas também os jovens e adultos que não concluíram a educação básica. O objetivo deste estudo é mensurar o estoque de jovens e adultos (15 a 64 anos) com educação básica incompleta no Estado de São Paulo e estimar a demanda por nível de ensino se todos eles retornassem aos bancos escolares. A metodologia fundamenta-se em dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios de 1995 e 2015 e na aplicação do modelo Profluxo. Os resultados indicam que os principais gargalos do sistema estão na passagem de um ciclo educacional para outro. A demanda por Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) persiste, especialmente nos primeiros anos de cada ciclo da educação básica, ainda que em menor volume em 2015 se comparado a 1995.
