Abstract | The lengthening span of retirement, combined with projections of a growing aging population, has made the retirement population an increasingly important consumer group in education (Van der Kamp & Scheeren, 1997). In the 1960s, educational programming efforts for seniors were grounded in assumptions of decline. These assumptions, and a life stages conceptualization of the teachable moment (Havighurst & Orr, 1956), led to educational programs and services designed to prepare individuals to cope with the decrements of old age, the trauma of retirement, and one's gradual disengagement from life (Walker, 1996). (As Provided). |
