Resumo: |
Aging should be understood as a process involving the interaction of biological, psychological and social dimensions, in addition to its heterogeneous character, which is responsible for the singularities of aging. An aging population means the surfacing of new demands that must be recognized as the possibilities for those individuals creating new life projects. At this stage, when faced with the changes inherent to aging, the elderly continues to socialize, acquiring new learning tools and finding new meanings to the knowledge that has been gained throughout life. This research was conducted at the Open College Senior Center Anhanguera at the University of Santo André (FATI / UNIA). Its main objectives are to characterize pedagogical guidelines, the curriculum developed, to identify the reasons behind the choice of the elderly to attend FATI / UNIA, and their participation in curricular activities. In addition, it is meant to analyze the significance of social interactions, learning experiences and their impact on the living conditions of these students . This field research, using a qualitative approach, includes interviews with seven elderly women whose average stay at FATI / UNIA was seven years. The data gathered showed the activities provided the elderly possibilities for self-assessment and an openness to change their behavior. Their newly acquired learning skills resulted in better acceptance by their families, improved self-esteem, and found new strengths needed to live fully satisfying lives in their twilight years |
