This volume provides an in-depth analysis of historical and recent
developments of senior learning in Taiwan, where publications in
English have been scant. It takes a broader view on lifelong
learning and active ageing from a theoretical/conceptual base
written by prominent international authors- this represents the
'outside in' perspective. The 'inside out' on the other hand
signifies an in-depth investigation of initiatives written by
authors from Taiwan who are closely involved with developments in
policy and practice. The volume is situated theoretically in the
intersection of complementary concepts such as lifelong learning,
active ageing, later life learning, learning communities and social
movements. It is located geographically and culturally in East Asia
where senior learning/education is expanding in response to large
populations of older adults and concerns about their physical and
social well-being. It is argued that Taiwan is leading the way in
terms of innovation and community engagement in regard to older
adult learning/education and can thus serve as a model for
neighboring countries. By analyzing historical precedents, cultural
dynamics, policy trends, research sub-fields and community
engagement this book is of interest to both East Asian and Western
scholars, practitioners, policy-makers and students amongst the
fields of lifelong learning, social gerontology and educational
psychology.
